Re: [Emc-users] steppers with encoders in closed loop

Gene, Thanks for the response. The machine has been running great for years on those values but in position mode, not in velocity mode. I wouldn't think that any of the step-gen parameters would need to change when changing to velocity mode...? I suspect the PID parameters I am using,

[Emc-users] steppers with encoders in closed loop

I would like to attempt to get my machine with stepper motors running in velocity mode with feedback from the encoders. Below are the relevant parts of my Hal and Ini files for just the X-Axis. I figured I would do one axis at a time. Currently nothing happens when I try to jog the X axis

[Emc-users] more advice needed

Greetings all; I just about have my g33wrapper.ngc working again, but I see several problems because I used fixed values for some of the variables, derived by successive approximations. Not good for versatility should I want to carve some of Andy's threads. :) I want it to be universal, but

All machine move offs should be in the negative direction. I.e. I believe you have your scales backwards. There was an illustration pinned in the forum about this On Jun 25, 2017 9:28 AM, "dave" wrote: > > > On 06/25/2017 02:55 AM, andy pugh wrote: > >> On 25 June 2017 at
