3-Axis Stepper Controller

[nikolaw]

TurboCNC. I've tried also Mach2 and CNCplayer. I now downloaded EMC2 and seems like the way to go.

and who program is best for you?
what caind of step motors do u use?

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.

Please how adjust the parallel port?

what windows you use? 
I have windows XP Professional and an other machine have win98SE, no working in the 2 machines
   
thanks 

i use XP
and u mas to do this
go in port setup
an do like the pic

2, 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 connections
end-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 setup

You would use different components. I have attached one example. There are many ways to control steppers.

can you send me full schematic for something bigger
thanks mp

 

[MP1]

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.

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.

 

[MP1]

You would compensate for this in the software.
