Re: Losing connection with open loop steppers.
What voltage is the power supply for the drives?
Set your step pulse to 100khtz. Those drives are not 200k

Re: 2006 ShopBot PRT Alpha controller upgrade...
Gene... In theory what you wish to do is possible, but in reality, very difficult for the inexperienced. Here are the reasons: 1) Without gear reduction you would have a 0.318.. turns ratio. Far below what is required for Centroid. That direct drive alpha was so bad that SB traded them out for gearm...

Re: VCP RESET onscreen button
I would say that mine (5.08) does not operate that way. Which is what I've been asking for in this thread.
Scott, Keith....
What is the state of the reset button when either the DriveOk or SpindleOk inputs are tripped?

Re: acorn to ahha!
If your drives are 45khtz max, you should reduce the step pulse frequency even farther. The step pulse frequency sets the width (in usec) of the step pulse. For each pulse you will have an equal or greater (depending on speed) void between pulses. For example, at 100khtz this calculates to 1,000,000...
