GreekPIC Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I'm not familiar with KCam, but you might want to select "Pin setup", that's how it's done to all other programs I've seen.Nikolas Quote

GreekPIC Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 TurboCNC. I've tried also Mach2 and CNCplayer. I now downloaded EMC2 and seems like the way to go. Quote

GreekPIC Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 and who program is best for you?Like I said, in my opinion EMC2. TurboCNC is easy to setup and runs on old PCs but is rather limited in capabilities. I didn't get into much detail with Mach, but EMC2 seems very impressive. It even has ladder programming (language used in PLCs).what caind of step motors do u use?Small inkjet printer motors. This is a small, proof of concept machine. I've bought bigger, used motors for a bigger mill or a retrofit. Quote

I have windows XP Professional and an other machine have win98SE, no working in the 2 machines thanks i use XPand u mas to do thisgo in port setupan do like the pic2, 3, 4 - x-, y-, and z-axis step inputs, respectively.6, 7, 8 - x-, y-, and z-axis direction inputs, respectively. Direction polarity depends on the motor connections. (to switch direction polarity, simply reverse the motor connectionsend-for-end)13, 12, 11 - these PC connections are used to bring the controlled machinery (i.e. X-Y table) to a "home" position. Normally open (N.O.) switches are used here.u mast select &H378 or like in your bios see what are you have in your bios port setupand select bedirektion in your bios Quote

nikolaw Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 WHERE I CAN FOUND schematic FOR MORE THAN 1,5 AFOR BIGER MOTORSTHANKS Quote
MP Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 You would use different components. I have attached one example. There are many ways to control steppers.MPL297-L298-3axis.pdf Quote
nikolaw Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Here is another...MPcan you send me full schematic for something biggerthanks mp Quote
MP Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 What are you looking for? The pdf file was a pretty good sized schematic with multiple axis. If you still need more schematics, list some specifics and we can go from there.MP Quote
asguard Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Greetings,I would like to know what pitch of thread is on the threaded bar used & bar diameter. or does one use any threaded bar (weight relevant to motor size) and compensate somewhere in software? As I presume there would be a difference depending on where you got it from.Thank you. Quote
MP Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 You would compensate for this in the software.MP Quote
nikolaw Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 You would compensate for this in the software.MPmy step drive dont work any more :( :( :(ucn is broken i bay new ucn' and thy broke too what is the problem :( :( :( Quote
