Hi Gene I building a DIY desktop mill (moving table) 420x300mm bed 3 axis
I have minebea 17PM-M201-02 6wire HYbrid stepper motors driven by ULN2003a 2 wire drivers unipolar. I am using a HY-JK02-m breakout board My Computer is a HP thinkcentre Pentium iv Running Linux 10.04 only. The machine has been built for a year but I have been trying to sort out the computer side ever since (Except for four months touring the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and cruising around New Zealand, I live at Deception Bay in Australia.) I've had enough of Arduino. Thankyou for your quick reply Regards Bill -------Original Message------- From: Gene Heskett Date: 03/07/14 11:03:08 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Linuxcnc stepper mill configuration On Thursday 06 March 2014 19:54:11 Bill did opine: > Hi Everyone > My Name is Bill, I'm an aged pensioner and new to cnc > > When I open the linuxcnc configuration wizard and click "modify a > Configuration" I am sent to a "Modify Existing configuration" window. > > I select the machine I wish to use and click "open" but nothing happens. > > What am I doing wrong. > > Regards Bill First, welcome Bill, its a great hobby for the later years, been retired close to 12 years myself. Second, it sounds as if you ran the servo configurator rather than the stepgen config generator, so lets start by asking you to describe your machine. Mill, lathe, some other critter? what kind of motors? what kind of motor drivers? general description of the driving computer?
