well i have worked out how to compile the new carousel component i found something on the forum that andy had told someone else and copied it
now i have it setup in counts mode. and also have a step gen running to control a step direction servo motor i can trigger jog on the carousel component and the motor moves so thats a start and all my wiring ect just worked. but the motor just runs away and out of control first question is how should i configure the step gen? and should i use closed loop stepper signals that pnconf pumps out or just the step gen set to position mode? and what is the basic stuff required to run. i am changing my config from a carousel motor in index mode to one in counts mode regards Andrew On Mon, Sep 30, 2024 at 7:01 AM andrew beck <andrewbeck0...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Andy just getting back to this carousel component. > > Using 2.8 and want to try get the latest version of the carousel > component. > > I just need the step direction option > > Just need a bit of hand holding on how to compile it etc > > On Sat, 27 Jul 2024, 09:02 andy pugh, <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Fri, 26 Jul 2024 at 21:05, andrew beck <andrewbeck0...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> > I have used the carousel component on another machine and it kept over >> > shooting as I needed to know before I hit the pocket sensors that it was >> > time to stop.
