Slowly working on my Supermax Anilam Crusader M conversion and digging into some of the details. I have a few questions that I don't know the answers to and could use some help. This is the first of a few questions I have.
Quick background: I'm using a Mesa 5i25/7i77 and GS2 VFD, of which I have the GS2 Component bench-tested and communicating between LInuxCNC and the GS2. I have traced the Crusader M electrical 'pretty well,' w/ the exception of needing to spend a few minutes on the servo signals, but that will come later and looks fairly straight fwd. The link I found from JThornton to Sector67 on the forum helped as well. Those guys at sector67 did a helluva write-up. Question: I had overlooked the high/low gearing of the spindle and found the Hal gearchange component. Is gearchange the appropriate Hal component to use? Seems perfect. I don't know the gear ratio (sorry - dumb question, I know) between low and high. I figured someone would know it w/ out looking... I assume the low is 1:1 and the high is 2.5:1, but that's a guess from the gearchange page here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/gearchange.9.html? My parameter value for the gear change comp would then be (if gearing is 2.5:1): *gearchange.**N**.scale2 = 2.5.* Also, I believe low and high change direction: *gearchange.**N**.reverse = 1* Thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
