Sounds like it might have been a reasonable application for a HAL-only setup. It is worth noting that the hal stepgen has built in velocity and acell limits, if you don't need coordinated motion in more than one axis at a time then sending positions to the stepgens from pyVCP or GladeVCP widgets works perfectly well. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
