I have managed pretty well converting 3 machines to EMC2 - two using the
parallel port and one using Mesa 5i20 and 7i29 cards. However, now I am
looking at using a 5i20+7i33 setup to drive analogue servo drivers that need
two inputs, AN+ and AN- 10V (and GND?). It is not clear to me how this is to

The problem is that a lot of functionality in EMC2 and Axis needs to
know the current position of the slides relative to the machine's limits
of travel. For instance, Axis displays the machine's limits on the

Years ago when with my first homemade CNC that used leadscrews I found that I
could get better results if after cutting the circle I then cut it again but in
the opposite direction. You may get much better results because the cutting
forces in the opposite direction will be opposite for each

Any suggestions?
I think very few machines can make a good round circular pocket with
an end mill. If the ballscrews, lube, gibs, (and if servos, tuning)

Why are you trying to compile it? Python will run the file in
interpreter mode just fine usually.

Interesting---how do you mount the endmill? I take it you have a shank with
a receptacle for the endmill that's at an angle to the spindle

Hi all,
I am experiencing some odd direction changes on a home-brew CNC
machine that I have on loan.
The machine was apparently purchased off ebay, and all the settings I
dug out from data sheets for the driver chips and motors.
X and Y are working well, but Z (which has a similarly spec'ed

It will maintain it's course in that direction, but when releasing the
