I have a picture of the Rev 4 board that is sufficiently good to read resistor colour codes but, unfortunately, only one of the wire wound resistor values is clearly shown. No idea how similar the Rev

Re: V2XT help needed
First, move the drives back. No need to muddy up the water.The gain makes the drive response tighter or looser and thus affects performance of the machine relative to position.There were basically 2

Re: V2XT help needed
The problem definitely followed the drive when I switch with Y. So, I'm wondering if I should try to tune the velocity gain to fix the problem.? The manual gives the function of the velocity and

Re: V2XT help needed
A program is not necessary. You can use MDI. Put a dial indicator somewhere and approach the vise slowly. Of course you select a spot on the dial as zero and set zero datum. Move away in MDI. Approach

Re: V2XT help needed
You have to understand how a machines homes. Switches are inaccurate. So what happens is the z starts to come up. It makes the home switch. The control now is aware to look for a marker pulse. This a
