Hi all; I just ran thru stepconfig and tired to set up for a lathe, but without anything hooked to the parport.
When it was time to exercise the axis, it couldn't, broken pipe errors. So I just ran the rest of the way thru it & saved it. Then, when I ran it from the created icon, all the limits were wrong, no move possible and I had to fix those in the .ini with gvim. Looking good, with the z running from -.01 on the left to 12" on the right, and the diameter/radius looking good too, I loaded up the pawn file from examples. It is displayed as if zero is on the right limit, and the diameter is all above a radius of zero. If I rotated axis 180 degrees, or better yet, changed the sign of all the values in that file, then it looks as if it fits my vision of how this should look. If I rotate axis 180, then the arrow keys are backwards. Call this newbie to a lathe in axis confused... So which is correct? Thanks.
