The only difference is I us hardware estop force estop sense low, and when I release my estop button ,estop sense goes high and then I turn the machine on through the gui halui and off she goes ,I'm running EMC2.6.15 halui_halvcp configs My (standard pinout) file is below your response "Jon Els

Greetings; In the transition to emc2, I noticed that the directory emc/programs seems to have become deprecated. I found where they were relocated to, but the install script needs to edit stepper_inch.ini to add a trailing '/' to the PROGRAM_DEFAULT path, which was properly set to ~/user/emc2/

Hi all, After the success I've had with EMC2 and my minimill, I've decided to take a whack at converting a little Prazi 5x12 lathe I have. So far I've got it "steppered" and I have procured a PC on which I've installed EMC2 from the live CD. So far so good. On the minimill I'm using a PMDX

Do you get this behavior with one of the "sim" configurations (e.g., sim/axis.ini, sim/tkemc.ini)? What is the exact sequence of operations you do (key presses, button clicks, etc) to make this happen? If you are not running the newest version of emc2 (2.1.5), does the problem still occur after y

First off I have managed to get EMC2 Live loaded onto a computer and running. Lots of changes since the last time I looked at EMC, I really like the graphics in the AXIS interface, makes debugging programs a lot easier. I did translate a program that was running on a Fanuc control and got it t
