Re: [Emc-users] converting from mm to inches

The solution I am using is put G20 in RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE of the original ini file. Then each time I startup, I select inch in view. Much easier than recomputing all the velocity and acceleration values. On my other mill's I had always used Stepconf and selected Inches. This is the first

Re: [Emc-users] converting from mm to inches

This is not my only machine. I had adjusted the velocity and acceleration values to the same range as those in my old machines that were set up initially in inches. These values are 1/25 those of the values in the mm file. I think I will generate a sample file using Pncconf to double check.

Re: [Emc-users] converting from mm to inches

When you change the machine units to inches, you need to change all the velocity and accel parameters. They're just numbers, the unit is assumed, and changing from mm to inches makes that number 25.4x slower outright. Danny On 10/17/2016 10:05 PM, hubert wrote: > My machine was initially

[Emc-users] converting from mm to inches

My machine was initially setup by my vendor to mm. Personally I prefer inches. When I tried to adjust things in the .ini file it results in the machine crawling. Is there another place I need to make changes. I changed units from mm to in. Thanks Hubert
