New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

Am I doing my maths correct?
8*200 steps *20 (revolutions in 1m) * 2 pulses per step=64000 pulses/metre
I want 10/min it would be 64000*10=640000khz then divide by 60 == 10666.66 khz per axis

20 revs = 50mm pitch surely not.??

Khz = (steps per unit * velocity in units per minute) / 60

So Break it down into mm units not meters. So lets work on 10mm pitch with 1600 micro steps.

1600/10=160 steps per mm

160 x 10,000 mm/min= 1600000 /60 = 26.666Khz

Life is like a box of chocolates, some bastards been in it before you and ate all the good ones leaving you the strawberry creams lol ;)


Hmmm I have a PS3 pad kicking around wonder if I can get it to work over bluetooth.

Cool!

Cool!

You can do the same thing in Mach 3, not as good as an MPG of course but if you have a pad kicking round better than nothing for free.

Any linux (Or windows if using Mach 3) compatible gamepad will work.

I will try it , I have a wireless one from Logitech laying around!
