Brother TC-225 / TC-229 adventure!

One thing the would help a bit is plotting the commanded velocity and the encoder velocity

The commanded velocity would show the TPs motion better than position does

The encoder (feedback) velocity might shed some light on source of the high frequency oscillation

ok, ill do that in the morning. (I went home )

thanks.

on a mechanical note, I checked the tc229 and it has zero backlash in all axes. I need a spindle drive for that guy!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationso, I noticed these are well priced...


and then noticed they are being used with linuxcnc by some people. thinking that maybe we use this for the tc229, I already have a full beckhoff kit with IO, relays, and other nifty bits and bobs.

how mature is the ethercat in linuxcnc? would it be easy to set up and get running well? keep in mind this is me, and uh... I usually need hand holding

well, I did nothing since Friday. had a dental issue, much pain. haha. hopefully I can get back to it tonight, otherwise ill get those hal scope plots tomorrow night.

Yow!
Take it easy
