[Emc-users] I'm finally moving my mill now!

[Anders B. <And...@tv...>]

Finally the thing is moving, and things seem to be under control! I =
reached 2400 mm/min (about 95 IPM!!!:-) before my motors begun stalling =
out! And this is without tuning the PID parameters. They seem to be =
about correct already, and I don't think I'll be able to reach much =
higher in speed..... But I'm not even sure I want more :-)
=20
My problems with not reaching faster than 10 kHz proved to be a switch =
in the wrong position (the switch for choosing between Step/Dir and =
phase out on axis 0).=20

I do have some problems with the encoder on my Y axis though. Must be =
mechanical problems, and partly backlash (I'm able to take most of it =
away and I'll look in to that tomorrow as well). I think. At one point =
it was working perfectly, but after doing some testing of holding torque =
it's all messed up and I'm unable to make the axis go at all with =
feedback..... strange phenomenon. It may also be because of to high P. =
I'll have to look at it in the morning, and also attach the encoder on =
the X-axis.=20
=20
But finally, I'll be able to go on and start learning to use it and all =
that. That is a different thing, but hopefully it'll not be that =
difficult and frustrating (at least I hope so...:-)=20

And thanks again to all that have helped me and hopefully others along =
the way. All this have lead to some cleaning up in the CVS repository =
to. And the units for use in EMC 2 (I look forward to test it!!) have =
been questioned and hopefully dealt with in a good way.=20
=20
It would have been completely impossible for me to get it up without =
your help!
