I don't want to add any confusion to this discussion, but I want to ask if you are using Gecko drives. Tom Eldredge Rutex USA ----- Original Message -----

Art, SOMETHING is broken. Now if it's my drives, then how do you account for accurate movement when the ONLY thing changed is the helix lead, by changing the z departure value...? Seems to me that logically if one "lead" WORKS and one .001 different is erratic, and one .001 from THAT fails completely; then WHAT is different as far as the drive is concerned??? Could you put a scope on YOUR Z axis step AND dir output and run these files again (just the three mentioned above; described as "fails", "erratic", and "works" in the previous post,near the ned of th elist, as I dialed into the "problem". So I thought...) Do you find it at all interesting that the Bzzt of steps is AT the transition from one move to the next?(which is also 0,0,0 in this case.) And the additional step or two "seems to be at the quadrant changes??? How does the DRIVE know anything about quadrants? (dir change. That's its only clue.) As for plane origins, it has NO clue. So what about a DRIVE would cause a sputter of steps in Z at a dir change in XY??? More importantly, what is changed for the DRIVE when the lead goes up by only one thousandth--which will only be 2 extra steps per complete circle!!! A certain number of steps works, ONE more is erratic, and TWO more fails to move the Z AT ALL... So let's again say that these ARE slow drives. The XML I'm sending has the step length set at 15 (but most testing was at 12, and the pre change at 6. I've lost 6 days on this so far. I keep thinking I'll come here and see an "I found it B!" But alas, Not tonight either... Ballendo (Feeling tired, frustrated, and defeated) BTW, today I tried larger helical moves, and had more relatedly interesting results. Not sure at this point if its worth posting... in a separate post. BUT, CV from Arc-to-Arc IS broken in BOTH Enh and 4.0 modes in RC8. There's a pause at the intersection between each helical circle-- right where the BZZT happens... --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., Art <fenerty@a...> wrote: > B: > > > The way I can make or break a file is to change the ratio of the > > diameter to the z departure, as suspected... > > Good, maybe I can repeat it... > > > (THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO SEE THIS PROBLEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A > > MACHINE HOOKED UP AND RUNNING.) > > I've been testing all these on arunning machine.
