It appears that is what the index does, it resets the X and Y counters. I am realizing that this isn't as simple as I assumed going into it. I assumed that "somehow" I would convert the counter data into pulses then feed that to EMC2. My next guess is that I should figure out how the EMC2 position counters work and see if I can amputate them at a strategic point and insert my hardware counter, moua ha ha ha. But I'll need to have an index enable pin to control the HWcounters index? I need to do some reading. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
