Touch Off not Zeroing Display on A and B axis was created by schmidtmotorworks
I am trying again to set up the 4th and 5th axis on my MVJR 3 (would be) 5-axis CNC.
I am having very little success at getting controlled motion out of the rotary axis.
I have had a little slow responding motion (P was very low) from the a axis, then a sudden jump of 30 degrees.
But for the most part, when I turn the servos on, I get a high pitched whine and within about 20 seconds the servo drive will error out.
Turning the dial for the A axis changes the pitch of the whine sometimes a little motion, mostly the servo drive just errors out.
I noticed one clue that I hope will lead to something setup incorrectly.
When I do the Touch-off to zero the A or B axis, the number doesn't change.
It does change for X,Y and Z axis.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause the Touch-off not to work, only on some axis?
Thanks
JTS

Thanks for asking, here are the ini and hal files.
The X Y and Z axis work reasonably well. Not quite as smooth as OEM, but good enough to use.
The A and B, I have never been able to get them working properly.
Best Regards

I made some progress today.
I think the mistake I made was that I reduced the acceleration to a very low number (less than 1) thinking that it would be safer as I was having some unexpected jumps that were a consequence of a reversed input scale.
So I increased the acceleration and now I have some motion.
I don't know if there is a connection, but the Touch Off started working after changing that.
Now I have some motion but it is quite slugish on the A and B axis.
I know it is capable of very fast motion because of the jumps that occurred previously.
Those happened with the P probably around 10, I don't remember for sure but that is probably where I would start considering that all the other axis have a P between 50 and 125.
When I try to raise P above 1 for either of the rotary axis I get growling and vibration. I don't recall having this situation with the other axis.
So I am trying to figure out what else could be causing the growling besides the P?
Now that I am home I am thinking that perhaps I should have tried loosening the dead band from 0.00001 to something like 0.001.
And then trying to raise the P.
Any suggestions appreciated.

You have set your velocity for the rotational axis to 1. That is 1 degree per second and that is sluggish.
I have set mine to
MAX_VELOCITY = 120.0
MAX_ACCELERATION = 800.0
