UPDATE VFD TO NEMA

[paolozampini1973]

I would like to have THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VFD SPINDLE WITH A STEPPING MOTOR (NEMA) HOW SHOULD I CONFIGURE DUET 2 WIFI ?

@paolozampini1973 short answer is you can't.

[paolozampini1973]

@jay_s_uk
why is it not possible on the lathe is it possible instead for milling is it not possible ?

[Falcounet]

@paolozampini1973 Because the torque over speed relationship for stepper make them not really suitable for such application.

@paolozampini1973 what @Falcounet said. And the firmware doesn't support continuous rotational axis. And you can't move an axis that isn't in sync with others

Isn't there a way to define the stepper-spindle as extruder? That way it's in sync with motion system and has infinite rotation
Don't ask me how to configure e-steps etc. , but I read it in a remark from @dc42 lately

But as mentioned before: it's not the same as a spindle, but it should work for thread cutting and positional drilling
