Now MDI G0 moves START working- but after a few inches it halts with a Following error. I bumped the max velocity up to 1200 ipm the router is meant to do.

It was only manual jogging that caused the Following error.ģ00 ipm is abnormally slow. As soon as I release the + or - button, both Joint 0 and Joint 3 report "Following Error" and the system stops.ĮDIT: Well, what I realized is I could move the gantry with MDI G0 without error at 300ipm. Then I increased FERROR to 0.2 and both X-steppers DO move in World mode. Hmm I increased FERROR to 0.005 and got axis 2 to move in World mode, but the other axes still generate Following Error even with the FERROR increased like that. ini file which is different than other examples, is something inappropriate about that? (I included my. I tinkered with this for awhile, but no change.
I reset MAX_VELOCITY to 5.0 but no change. I did have the speeds set high, although they should be correct. The Ethernet SmoothStepper from It is a standard component in our Plug and Play NEMA 23 CNC Control System and Plug and Play NEMA 34 CNC Control System and is recommended with all of our Electronics kits. I do expect it WOULD work in World Mode, except any attempt to move any axis gives "Following Error". Power control teams M106 S127 50 power M106 S255 100 power M106 S0 Laser Off. When I select Joint 3 and hit the "+" button, the second gantry motor DOES move, by itself, and has holding torque.
OK, it appears that I've got "joint mode" and "world mode" confused. On the # set PID loop gains from inifile for axis3, I just referenced. I am using a Modbus VFD and AFAIK don't need that spindle PID at all. This package includes all the required accessories to plug the unit into the included Gecko G540, converting the drive to ethernet control.

I thought it would conflict with axis3, not realizing that PID3 would go with axis 3, not PID4. This listing is for a Warp9 Ethernet Smooth Stepper CNC motion controller 'turnkey'system, and Gecko G540 (3 year US warranty 2019 Edition) 4 axis digital micro stepper driver system. I was deleting the PID4 stuff related to the spindle. Clearly I screwed something up, but I really could use some help there, there's lots of elements in those configs I don't understand and I can't make meaningful progress just randomly changing them. But I copied all that from axis 0 to axis 3 and renamed to 3 where it seemed appropriate. IIRC last time it was because setup/hold times on the STEP weren't good. Had this before- if the 7i92 output is unstable, the G540's output will drop its holding torque. The other 3 axes power just fine under LinuxCNC, and all 4 work just fine under Mach3. There is no per-drive Enable pin on the G540, just the Charge Pump and I have that requirement turned off right now. I am simply replacing the Ethernet Smoothstepper cable with the 7i92 cable at the G540 input. That physical setup works fine on Mach3, so there's no wiring problem.
