Okay, well I guess that's just how I'll have to do it. > You can use digital outputs from the motion controller to enable/disable the step outputs. Don't try disabling the stepgens, those have to think they're moving the joints or you'll get a following error.
You would need to use AND2 components to combine the motion controller digital outputs with the step outputs of the stepgens (this assumes that you are using software stepgen, it won't work with hardware step generation or systems with real feedback). I don't remember the exact G-codes to control those outputs, I think it's M64 or M65 or near there. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
