Re: Finally hooked up and running 2 axis..

I hope you got the pokey57 off that pink foam. It's usually anti static which means it conductive!!!!! Many years ago i was testing a circuit on a piece of anti static foam and I was getting erratic operations until it dawned on me that the foam was somewhat conductive. After replacing the foam with standoffs the problem went away.

got my Axis up and running. In Darwin I could run at about 11000 as a max, in Auggie, its scaring me at 30,000mm/minute,
so I have to turn it down I think. Awesome first tests though. The application of Jerk shows noticeable difference through
its range and Ive never seen the arms move so fast.
So far, Im pretty pleased. I still have laser supplies and all that to hook up, but initial testing is really pleasant
as to the lasers motion. Ill post a video showing various jerk conditions and the resultant runs of a test pattern to show
how Jerk Limiting can smooth out motion to allow higher accels, at least on this heavy beast.
Latest version of Auggie is online with Feedrate override included. It works pretty awesome here,
with instant slowing to any percentage speed. Very handy for slowly starting up the system.. If I can get
this type of performance while scanning with the laser, Ill be quite happy.
Heres a photo of the control box system as it sits so far..
Just an update.
