Re: Spindle speed - more data
Bernard:
Can you explain this a bit better, Mill seems to be working properly
according to reports. Is is possible that your pulse width is too low for
the circuit? Steve reports proper operation in

Re: Question for Steve
Didn't run it as such, I manually set speed on mill VFD with a pot. I
just disconnected 10V & 0V wires to VFD and checked voltage, but I
will try it tommorrow.
I also have another fault, which is

Re: Question for Steve
Steve:
Definitely noise on the step pin. When you jog, the DIR pin gets set and
dosent change until you change diretcion, thats why it creeps in the last

Spindle - update & query
Art,
I'm gradually trying to sort things out here. When I first noticed
problems I was running the kernel @35Khz, I then switched to 25Khz
and got the figures I gave you. I have now re-started M2

Re: Spindle - update & query
Bernard:
Yes, it is necessary to restart after changing frequencies.
This is necessary to restart the engine timer. Also, if you tune the spindle
in 35 Khz and then switch to 25Khz, you have to

Re: Home Switch Question
I have found the same quandry myself. I my experience, the limit

Combining Spindle and A-axis
Hi Art,
Is it possible to combine the spindle step/dir axis with the rotary A-axis?
The reason is that I'm thinking of using a servo motor as the spindle drive,
but occasionally use it as an axis

The Z axis is normally a leadscrew type drive although you could use
other methods. The axis has to travel a short distance at relatively
slow rates so a stepper type drive direct coupled to

Re: Home Switch Question
Gentlemen:
I agree that the limit switches are there to save a crash and should
do two things:
Instantly stop the motors on all axis
Issue an e-stop signal back to the software.

Re: Frequency to Voltage - Warning
Bernard - Can you explain this a little more, a circuit diagram might
help? The National spec sheet shows it as pretty linear ie less than
0.4% across a 500kHz input range??
