Good morning Folks,
The help from this forum and its users have been absolutely invaluable. I appreciate every morsel that comes from it!
I have another question, I did google and come up with some answers however I am not sure how to apply it to my situation.
Being relatively handy ( still dumb as dog Sh++),While the machine was in the off position ( unplugged ), I hooked up my rotary to the nifty little plug under my table. Had to lower the table enough to fit the rotary, of course.
Turned the machine on... now according to all logic and the write-ups and instructions, the rotary should work...
Nothing... so I start to trouble shoot and trace wires...
Turns out, that airplane plug runs to another plug which is not connected to the y-axis controller...
Off goes the machine...
Unplug the y-axis wiring and replace with the wiring for the Rotary and follow the procedure.
Now the rotary spins! YES! but too fast...
so I fiddle with the new software ( 8.01.24 ) and I finally come across the turn on rotary... Yes.
Still spinning to fast.
Aside from the math of C= 2x Pie blah blah...:confused:
I need to set a stepper parameter...
Here is the question. in RDWorks... what is the parameter for a chuck style rotary?
how do I figure that and where do I put the result?
If I have to I will uninstall the version 24 and go back to the 19, if this needs to happen
