Re: Polar Coordinates CNC?

I think that the essence of your analysis of the mechanical stuff is true
for a Puma robot type of thing but I can't see how that truth affects
whether it is programmed in polar or Cartesian

Re: Stepper motor speeds
Hi, Brian:
I'm running TurboCNC into Camtronics 2 amp drivers into Sherline's 100 oz-in
motors. The power supply is a 24vdc regulated supply that's turned up to
around 26->28 volts. I get 4500 sps on

AutoCAD compatibility
Hi all,
I just installed Windows XP on my computer so I could run Mach1.
The problem with this is that now I can't install my copy of AutoCAD
2000 (educational version). It says that XP is an

Re: Stepper motor speeds
I did some research on the 23 frame motors we're using. They come from Shinano:

Re: Digest Number 2678

I hesitate to ask what breed of machine this is, cause I expect to see 4
of them during the install-a-thon. What is it? What did the BDI not do?
What BDI was this?

Re: Current factor of 0.707 in API CMD-260 Drive Current Setting
~~~
The factor of 0.707 is 1/SQRT(2) and is the scaling factor applied to
peak sinusoidal A.C. current to give the D.C. equivalent current to
supply equal power.
This gives the Root-Mean-Square

Re: Stepper motor speeds
My motors are rated for 3.2 volts at 2 amps, driven with 24 volt choppers.
Higher voltages are a problem for small, low-cost tools. The Xylotex drivers (3977 chip) max out at 35 volts, and the

Re: Stepper motor speeds
About 50 volts. That would likely triple your feed rates. The max RPM
you can get is also dependent upon inductance of your motors. You do not
mention how yours are wired or what voltage they

Re: Flashcut
It does seem that users of Flashcut rave about it. I also have not quite

Re: Stepper motor speeds
This seems too fast to me. Perhaps you would comment on this. Looking at a 23 frame motor, in half step mode (400 steps per rotation), 1200 RPM means 480,000 steps per minute or 8,000 steps per

Hi JS,
What so great about flashcut I hear good things about it but never
