FWIW The OP was emailed the "imperial work around" earlier and confirmed it did take care of his issue. The issue has been resolved and the work around will no longer be needed in the next release for Acorn (towards the end of this month). It has also been resolved in CNC12 closed loop sy...

Metric threads are stated in mm/rev unlike imperial threads which are stated as rev/inch. Consult your drive and motor docs to first get your motor steps/rev squared away before worrying about mm's/rev. Steps/rev is a fixed value that doesn't change with ball screw pitch, rack and pinion ratios, pu...

Module = 1. Pitch diameter = 30. Number of teeth = 30

Ok, Looking at the picture there is no Limit switch connections to this drive but there is a USB port. Having used similar leadshine drives I have connected the special cable and checked to see how the drive was programmed. http://www.yankong.com/EN/proview-54-23.html I went to this site and looked...

IF pitch diameter is 30 then circumference is 30 * pi or 94.24778mm 1 / 94.24778 = 0.01061 revolutions per mm I would recommend both adding mechanical reduction and increased microstepping to at least 1/8 or 1600 steps/rev thanks for the reply Gary. however, the wizard is asking for mm/revolution a...

Hello, hello. I am still new to centroid. Am using it to make my CNC and the axes are moved by a rack and pinion. my pinion pitch diameter is 30mm. it is coupled to the motor directly (no gear ratio) my steps/revolution is (800). I have set this both in the driver and the wizard. I want to set my tu...

Have you tried taking signal from the DB25 connector?

It is stressing me out. I tried and the behavior is the same from both the screw connections and DB25.
