    Today I had another chance to do more testing.
    As I mentioned before, I’m coming from LinuxCNC and I noticed that the same gcode jobs produce with TinyG considerably more jerking at junctions, in fact it even sounds like knocking. To show a comparison, I loaded the same simple job in both TinyG and LinuxCNC.

    This is the video showing the job in TinyG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSALMDGnIkc
    Note the knocking sounds at junctions.

    This is the video showing the job in LinuxCNC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xmq2YDumqE
    No knocking sounds.

    On smaller holes the knocking sound (and vibration) is even worse. And lowering ‘Jerk maximum’ makes no difference to this effect, although the jobs runs much slower. Changing ‘Junction deviation’ in either direction also makes no difference to this effect.

    The gcode I used and TinyG settings are below. I hope I just missed something and it can be fixed with a configuration change.

    This is the the gcode I used:

    how are you sending the files to TinyG?

    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
    Could it be a hardware fault in the TinyG board?

    Let me take a look at this this week. I am traveling now but will be home mid-week to try it.

    Hi alden,

    Did you look at it? What are your thoughts about the jerking?

    I have had a chance to run them. There is definitely a “grunch” in the tinyg 380.08 code for the Gcode file you provided. Thanks for posting it. We have been working on another rev that eliminates this (and dome a number of other things). I will post a couple of videos on Flickr or Youtube that show the difference. I’ll either amend this message or post a new one once they are up.

    …there appears to be something really wrong with trying to embed URLs in the page. So try this. Put the pieces together. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    It seem to sound better but I need to test it myself to compare to my LinuxCNC. Is this firmware version ready for general use?

    I don’t think I’d run 406.03 just yet. It’s in the dev branch, which is pretty rough. I’d at least wait until (or some later version, more likely) is pushed to edge.

    Also, bear in mind that Linux CNC is a venerable code base that can do many. many things that TinyG cannot. There are also things that TinyG does that Linux CNC doesn’t – they are not equivalent.

    Are you using NURBS in LinuxCNC to round corners? In TinyG I’d recommend playing with the junction deviation (xjd, yjd) and see what results you get.

    This turns out to be the same problem I was having. I thought it was a particular geared stepper motor. But I have seen the same clunking with my other motors.

    That is exactly the problem I’ve been having. My motors kept missing steps at the end of arcs, and I’ve had to be really careful to cut useful pieces. I’m really looking forward to the update as my machine is not very fun to use at the moment.
    It’s nice to see the problem replicated on your machine alden 😉
