Need a stepper driver suggestion to go with my 2012 DSP

[ashkalb]

Hey All -

I have a Buildlog 2.x laser, and am installing a 2012 DSP. I've been having some trouble with the Buildlog 4-axis board as a stepper driver, and I think I'd like to just replace it with some drivers that are not pololu based.

Any suggestions?

Much appreciated.

Yep - that is the one to use.

Hmm, I've got these too, what settings do you recommend?

try in lasercad 25.000 for X and Y then make a square of 50mm cut it then measure the real numbers and put them in this should take care.
the driver setting I would start with the setting of 8 on the dipswitches

cool, cheers, I must have a wire in the wrong position or something as I have it set to those, and it still is like a spider on a hot plate. jittery all over when you try to do a box.

Hi
I just remembered that I had a guy who did use the wrongconnection instead of X-Y he used the U-Z on the dsp
check this.
did you connect the driver like the schedule shows??

Have you tried changing the Pulse Edge on the Manufacture's Settings?

[twosoc]

no I'm just about to change it for the setting s Walt posted elsewhere. May have messed up the user parameters, anyone got a screenshot of how they should be for the moshi upgrade? Failing that is there a way to reset to default?


Just to double check is the "range" the maximum table size? I.e. 300 x 300.

Cheers, tim.
