Thansks, I did'nt realize it was lathe that had the problem, will
retroubleshoot. Have already fixed the Mist/Flood thing this morning.
Thatnks for the long outstanding reminder. Severasl other things have been
fixed as well, but I will do spindle now.
I do have a report of Mill not running the VFD properly from step/dir,
your is running OK in Mill, right?
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 probably mine in that VFD/motor is
inducing steps on X axis causing creeping. Funny thing is if I've
jogged in, it moves slowly in, out, if out. I don't know why it is
only doing it on X, but I have my suspicions that the gecko is faulty.
Motor gets hot on standby even though current reduction is set, but
not on Z. I'm going to swap them over in the morning and see if it
follows the gecko or stays on X. I disconnected the spindle sensor and
it still does it - so not that. I'll try it on mill and see if it does
it there too, before I go altering wiring and let you know what I
find.
