>>battled with other "popular and cheap" software for many years (of frustration)
I was waiting on lathe threading with Brand M software for a couple of years. Many are still waiting. But when version 4 of Brand M software comes out, the earth will quake, biblical revelations will occur, and all cnc problems will be solved..... someday.... In the mean time, the EMC2 software actually works! Plus no hype, as the software is free....there is no reason for hype. Wanna use it, fine. Don't wanna use it, fine.... EMC2 is truly refreshing in its honesty. Kudos to the developers! :-) Dave On 2/17/2010 1:04 AM, Rudy du Preez wrote: > Andy > > Thanks very much for the info on setup for lathe threading, and for the link > to a lot more info on the subject. > > I got the setup going within a few minutes after reading your proposals. > The only extra thing I did was to put the input pin from my one-pulse-per- > rev sensor on both the phase-A and phase-Z pins of the encoder.
