I am old and make mistakes with math problems, so I decided to write a small calculator to do it for me.
After finishing writing the program I entered the data from the example, into my program.
I could not get the correct answer as stated in example.
" How to compute motor revs/inch:
Commanded distance / Distance moved = multiplier
Multiplier * Current revs/inch = corrected revs/inch
Ex: Commanded Distance = 6.0000” = .99400~ (multiplier)
Distance moved = 6.0036”
.99400 * 5.0000 = 4.97000 New motor revs/inch"
Finally I realized the instructions answer is wrong!?? (I think)
6.0000/6.0036 is not = .99400 It seems to be .9994
Is that a large error? And am I wrong.
The program I wrote is freeware
It does all three axis, just enter the values.
As with any thing you download - check my program with a virus checker
