Chips is supposed to run on approximately 4 x 4 inch block which is
too big for a sherline based machine.
I got it to run on a 2.5 by 2.5 inch block by using stepper_mm.ini
and changing the input scale on all the axes from 200 to 50.
I tried changing the output scale from 1 to other values but it
didn't seem to have any effect!!!
I couldn't figure out how to scale it using the units in the
trajectory section.
The older versions of EMC used a numeric value for units ( .0397xxxxx
or 1) in the trajectory section of the .ini. I could just change the
value and presto! new scale!!
The new version doesn't have a numerical value... just mm, inch, or
cm. I assume that the terms are defined somewhere in numerical
values. But it won't be the first time I made a wrong assumption.
Could it be that the trajectory units don't do anything and the input
scale on each axis determines how much the axis really moves??
If I wanted to rescale a part on one or more axes without messing
with the G-code is the input scale in the ini the way to go or is
there a better way?
