I too am having problems with raster and vector cutting in the 1 file.
I will be grounding the machine better tomorrow and see how that goes.
Stepper are usually 2, 4, or 5 Phase
They are wired up in Bi-polar or Parallel.
My plasma cutter has 5 phase motors on it and they run really smooth.
I'm not aware of any 3 phase steppers out there for sale or if any machines use them. I have a 3 wire motor that looks like a stepper but I don't know where it came from or even if it was used before and it looks too small for a typical 3 phase motor.
Sorry I can't be any more help.
Rich.

Re: Problems with raster engrave
Hello!
I have a problem with engraving too. I guess it´s a settings issue... The output is skewed/slanted, it´s like as if every line is shifted one step to the left, and eventually the laser head will hit the limit switch. This is very consistent, and I don´t think it´s a mechanical problem.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks,
Per

It is in how you have your drive wired up. Read this: http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic ... 5638#p5638pairair wrote:Hello!

BTW - I have a new blog that is focused on custom and home-built lasers. It also covers a lot of stuff about the DSP Laser Controller. It might help everyone to go on over there and subscribe to it so you know when I post new info you may need. I'd also appreciate it if you would give it a Like.
