DIY CNC Milling Machine From Scratch

[totts]

Disable jogging and fix the stalling issues first. You must be able to run rapids repeatedly without stalling. Once you can do that then you can start checking for the rest of the problems.

I set up the machine and had no problems with short code but long code I found I had missed steps (after machining that part) so I then ran code in rapid

G00X10Y10Z10
G00X0Y0Z0

Repeated this about 1000 times and it went back to 0

After running a few test in jog mode the motor stalls as per video.

I'm hooking up a new computer tonight to determine weather it's the pc or the Bob.

So you have no stalling at full speed? Run this a 1000 times:

G00X(maximum X)
G00X(minimum X)

...to check X and likewise for Y and Z separately to check stalling. Running as short as to 10 units (inches or mm?) can be too short to test for stalling, but it is enough if missing/extra steps are needed to be checked. Also it is better to separately test the axes because running all three at the same time may result in less speed per axis than the maximum.
