Hi, I'm still struggling to understand HAL and how I can make this stepper free-run, preferably at a commanded speed and I don't seem to be getting very far on. One thing which I have realised and can't find any mention of in the literature I have found so far, is that I don't know how the starting and stopping of the stepper and specifying its velocity would be handled in AXIS. While the literature says that stepgen will run in velocity mode and says how the pins etc. should be connected, I can't find any descriptions or examples of its use in .INI files and don't see how it would appear in AXIS or be commanded from a G-code file. John refers to using G62 - G65 but, while I can see these in a FANUC description, the only reference I have found to them in EMC is one saying that they are not implemented. Would I perhaps have to make a special button/slider or whatever in AXIS to control the velocity? Does anyone have any experience of this please...?
