I completed building my 4 axis hotwire foam cutter this weekend and am trying to get EMC2 to work with it.
I checked out emc2-head yesterday and managed to get it to compile (run in place) and it seems to run ok with the default "stepper_mm" configuration. So i decided to use this as a base to configure it for foam cutting, but I am getting some errors. Here is what I did. made a copy of stepper_mm.ini (foam.ini) changed foam.ini "core_stepper.hal" to "core_foam_stepper.hal" changed foam.ini "standard_pinout.hal" to "foam_pinout.hal" copied core_stepper.hal to core_foam_stepper.hal copied standard_pinout.hal to foam_pinout.hal in core_foam_stepper.hal changed loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0,0 to 0,0,0,0 changed all Z references to U added V axis as axis.3 and stepgen.3 etc in foam_pinout.hal changed all references to Z axis to U added Vstep as pin 9 and Vdir as pin 8 changed spindle out to pin 1 in the Traj section of foam.ini changed axes to 4 changed COORDINATES to X Y U V created [AXIS_3] section as a copy of [AXIS_2] When I run EMC get this error. But I am not sure what to do about it? HAL: ERROR: pin 'axis.3.motor-pos-cmd' not found HAL:31: link failed HAL config file ../configs/stepper/core_foam_stepper.hal failed. I assume i am supposed to be using a different kin/mot module or something but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
