I do, but didn't realize the jog-count data needed to be massaged down to /1000th of a red hair. I set scale to one, which meant machine units according to the manpage for motion, whereas I thought it was the scale for that axis from the ini file. If I leave the math alone, then scale becomes .000038933 for X and .000045894 for Z. I fed both inputs an enable signal, and set both scales for x to 1, and it ran to the mechanical crash point and sat there banging on it till the timeout expired. Poking the esc key was useless. Re-reading man 9 motion tells me its machine units which is inches, whereas with my prior math, the scale, if I leave all the previous math alone, s/b the recipricol (SP? my spell checker sucks dead toads thru soda straws, default debian big_en) of the axis scale setting. The number I developed was for the number of microsteps. to move .0002" as the slowest step, and thats several inches by the motion definition. Duh. Dumbassed old man even. I can get rid of some math if I leave it at 1, and just feed motion the same data being displayed in my post-gui-hal pyvcp panel stuffs. And the pi will thank me. That will take me about as long to excise that as it did to write it. :( Tomorrow maybe...
