Hi, I am new to the mailing list, but have been using EMC for a while now. I just completed a small lathe and have it pretty well working with EMC2 version 2.4.6 on ubuntu 10.04. I would like to add a C-Axis. (I already have it built and attached). Basically, when wanting to do live tooling work, the C-Axis stepper motor engages on the spindle driving the spindle instead of the spindle motor. When the lathe is turning parts the C-Axis motor disengages. There is an encoder attached to the spindle so I can keep track of its location.
My ultimate goal would to be able to do C-X-Z moves to create flats, milled grooves and so forth on the parts. However, right now I have a need to just index the spindle 30 degrees and drill a hole - (which is a pure X move). i have not been able to find much information on this. Does anyone have any ideas or at least a direction I can start moving in?
