I have EMC2 installed on an old Compaq iPaq desktop running Ubuntu 6.06 from
the EMC2 install CD, driving a HobbyCNC controller and gantry with Kirk lead screws. When I use the sample stepper_inch config it works, but I need to tweak the configuration some to change the stepping (thread pitch, etc) but when I try to generate my own using the config tool in Axis, it just doesn't work. Suggestions? I figure this is probably something dumb I am doing, and I am willing to RTFM, I just need some direction. With the sample config, it is jogging back and forth OK, but it is not set for the right threads per inch for the lead screws. Once I get this working, next comes home and limit switches and a hardware emergency switch. The latency test runs, but if I do try to use the computer, sometimes the numbers go out of sight. 'Normally' it runs about 15000. When it goes 'crazy' It reads over a million. My 500MHz celeron may be to slow, but it is what I am playing with for now. Thanks. ...
