Re: Backlash only applied on 1st move?

Trying to correct backlash in software rarely works well. Especially that large on an axis with gravity. >>>Yes this is a temporary measure but I also guess even with a perfectly set-up machine there will be some backlash that could be cleaned up with software. What is the Z axis resolution in steps...

Please post code using the code tag </> to make it more readable.

I hit code on in the reply and paste the code between tags?

Backlash only applied on 1st move?

My Z axis needs some adjustments but that involves stripping the mill. I measured backlash at 0.25mm which I think is too high. As a temporary workaround I tried applying backlash to the Z axis and then ran the following code to help debug what is happening. g1 z0.4 F150 G4 P1 g1 z0 G4 P1 g1 z0.4 F1...

What controls G0 speed & acceleration?

G0 may be too fast and causing lost steps is there a simple way to slow it down?

Steps do not work but jog does

As per the title, I've checked and enable joypad is not enabled.

If I press the steps (in any direction) the co-ordinates do not change either so I don't think there is any attempt to move the axis.

I tried changing the steps upto 1000 and still no luck.

Re: Trying to get a program to run..

Thanks,

My C Program correctly loads the axis parameters but how do I also enable the axis in the same program, I'm sure I've seen this mentioned but cannot find where cheers.

Re: Trying to get a program to run..

This may be related, I tried to run the G code, file 1 (makes the word dynomotion I think) but it comes up with an error saying axis disabled but from the kmotion axis window 0,1 and 2 are enabled. I tried deleting the first M03 command (I don't have spindle control) but then comes up with the same ...

Trying to get a program to run..

OK I've got to be nearly there

Once I save the axis configurations by pasting into the C program screen from K motion - then save the file what do I do with that file i.e. how is it called before CAM g-Code is ran?
