stepper artefacts
-
Hi my question is, i have a machine based on nema 23 and i control them with drivers connected to expansion header. when the printer drives a circle then the noise of the steppers will be louder ( when two or more axies will be work at the same time). is it possible that the cpu timing is to slow for 7 external drivers (not on duex 5)?
it will be nice if someone can help me !
PS the T parameter in M569 is correct ! (2.5) -
Instant speed setting can have a significant effect on noise when the machines traverse arcs.
Motion section of the config? Acceleration, steps per mm, max speed, instant speed,etc?
-
thank you first for answering but this is not the problem. there is no hard acceleration and not much jerk at that movement, it looks like that all axies are cut some signals at every movement at the same time inc. the extrusion stepper.
-
the movement looks like doing one section-stop-doing a section-stop untill the rounded corner is done?
-
Run M122 and check the Hiccup count to see whether the problem is that steps can't be generated fast enough. Unfortunately, for external drivers extra delays need to be inserted (controlled by the T parameter), which reduces the maximum step rate.
It's better to choose the Nema 23 motors carefully so that they can be driven directly by the Duet.

There is th M122

You need to run M122 after you have done some moves and had the problem.
