ErgoFocus

 

NOTE: ErgoFocus will only work on Windows 10/11. Windows 7 or 8 will not install correct drivers!

 

 

The ErgoFocus controller communicates via a USB port (virtual serial port).

 

This is automatically identified (from the unique VID/PID).

Steps/mm

The Steps/mm parameter must be set to correct Z scaling.

It is calculated as: motor[steps/rev] / Spindle[mm/rev].

Example: Stepper motor has 200[steps/rev], and spindle pitch is 0.25[mm/rev], this makes the Steps/mm parameter = 200 / 0.25 = 800.

 

Ramp Up/Down

This sets the start/stop acceleration ramp.

The bigger number, the slower acceleration. A value of 0 means 'instant' start/stop.

 

Swap Direction

Reverses the motor direction

 

Swap host direction

Reverses the sign of the position readout

 

Limit switch Normally Open

The polarity of the limit switches can be set. The default is "Normally Open".

 

Standby- and Running current

For ErgoFocus firmware ≥ v3.1.3 there is an option to adjust the standby- and running-current.

Adjusting the current requires great care and diligence.

DeltaPix can provide instructions on how to do this. Please contact [email protected].
