There is probably a post processor setting for X axis direction to accommodate the variation out there. -- Ralph From: andy pugh [bodge...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2022 10:10 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users]

Horizontals typically follow the same right-hand rule as any other machine, it's just that the coordinates are turned normal to the spindle direction (z axis) Phil T. The Feral Engineer Check out my LinuxCNC tutorials, machine builds and other antics at www.youtube.com/c/theferalengineer Help

[Emc-users] Coordinate systems for horizontal spindles

2022-04-11 Thread andy pugh
I realised last night that the coordinate system on my mill is incorrect when I run the horizontal spindle. Curiously nearly every diagram that I can find online also seems to be incorrect. Or, at least, ambiguous. https://images.app.goo.gl/XuzUowMJyK3ffabD9 = Ambiguous

It's a DE9. DB is the 25 pin size used for the large serial port, parallel ports, and old Macintosh SCSI. A is 15 pin, used mainly for PC gameports and old Macintosh monitors. C is 37 pin, most commonly used for old PC external floppy drives. D is a three row 50 pin connector, uncommonly used

OK, I tried putty with 2 & 3 tied together and it loops back and shows keystrokes while tied.  So the NUC's RS232 port IS functional. I found an FTDI USB RS232 but it ends in female pins, I need male. Found a knockoff PL2303 USB-to-DB9 cable, I hope it's RS232 level, it does end in a DB9.  No
