[Emc-users] Stepconf is correct but EMC2/Axis gives 1/2 travel

Gents, I upgraded my PC to latest EMC2 (the 10.10 CD) and reconfigured with Stepconf (this is a step/dir servo based machine). If I test the config in Stepconf the axis is moving correct distance, but when I start EMC2/Axis for real the travel is only the half! When I physically measure 100 mm of

[Emc-users] Scary movement with burnt line driver

This is the story for you guys who thinks that safety features are not necessary. My pretty heavy and strong steel router went bananas the other day, all of a sudden the X-axis ran at full speed to the stop and it crunched everything that was in the new not-so-very-wanted path. I found out that the

I must say Wow! The screenshots are so much more complex than last time i checked FreeCAD. I'm working a lot in Rhino/MadCAM and unfortunately Rhino doesn't work in an *x-OS, so this looks like a good candidate for my workshop PC's! 2011/10/24 andy pugh > On 24 October 2011 21:52, Sebastian Ku

Re: [Emc-users] OT: Cheap VFD

I have one of these in production. It works well and I can't complain about anything, it actually is very sturdy and accelerates/deccelerates smoothly. I haven't set it up with a modbus, I run it at full speed as default and then I adjust the RPM with a potentiometer at runtime. At the same time,

Re: [Emc-users] pendant

There's an alternative that is very simple to setup. I have a pendant made out of a slaughtered USB Joypad. It requires 5 minutes of configuration. Everything is in the Wiki. The only thing I miss is the "rotational jog", but with a "step option" up I can live without it. Regards, Sven 2011/10/2
