I started converting my EMC2 mill from parport to the Mesa 5i20 hostmot2 stepper and got stuck with a problem.
The parport configuration works fine but the hm2_stepper config is having problems. I keep getting "joint xxx following errors". I checked the docs but cannot explain this: ferror, min_ferror, max_velocity and mac_acceleration are the same in both cases and - although not necessary - I added the base_period to the hostmot2 configs. A second problem (maybe related ?) is seen during a manual jog. When an axis stops it keeps humming and the digital readout flips between the current position (e.g 2.001) and adjacent positions (e.g. 2.002). This was all done on 2.3.0~beta2 with the hm2_stepper config files from that release. Any ideas? All config files are available at http://www.myvoice.nl/freesmachine/configs/ Regards, Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
