I'd say the contra-torque statement says that one of the gears is split
'horizontally' (seen when it lays on the table)
and the main motor drives the one while an auxiliary applies a constant
torque on the other in oposite direction.
And so: no backlash.
For direction change the motors change roles

That offhand mention of "contra-torque" backlash elimination is kinda
interesting, but perhaps it's not that different from a loaded ballnut

Hi all,
I am trying to put o-word subroutines in a different folder from nc_files.
In the ini file (I tried testing on sim/axis.ini and sim/tkemc.ini) I have:
PROGRAM_PREFIX = /home/emcuser/emc2/nc_files
So under [RS274NGC] I entered:
SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/emcuser/emc2/subroutines
And call it

No, 5i25 is different from other Mesa pci cards, the firmware is
loaded and stored right in the card. When I purchased my 5

Is your PC now finding the 5i25 card when you do lspci ??
If not, you will never get anything to load onto the card since the PC
doesn't recognize that the card exists.
If lspci doesn't show the card you should probably try the card in a
different PC and see if the OS recognizes the card.

no, that's the TCP destination port, nothing todo with the slave
A TCP connection is defined by {sourceip-address,some source port,
destip-address,destination port}
once established, it's just a bidirectional stream of bytes with no
interpretation, just like a serial connection over /dev/ttySome
I think you need to re-read this...
2) remove the "firmware = [path/to/firmware/file]" part of the "config ="
line, keep any commands for loading stepgens, pwmgens or encoder
modules, if they are needed for Your machine.
I read that as...
DRIVER=hm2_pci

OARD=5i23

We use modbus & modbus/ip in our products here. For IP, you need both an
ip addr/port AND the modbus slave address. Each device can have
240-something addresses. Think of an IP to RS485 bridge (moxa and others
