Hi Donnie, Thanks for the compliment. It took me a year or so to do the research and collect the parts for my conversion. I had some problems such as false triggering of my limit inputs, which I solved with a debounce software hal component. In all cases, the forum members here helped me understand and solve the problem, usually within hours. Peter W. from Mesa was very, very helpful. No one can hand you an ini or hal file that will work perfectly the first time you turn on your machine, since all machines are different. I encourage you to stick with your 5i23 and work with the community by supplying them with error messages and good descriptions of the problem. I will be happy to post my hal and ini files as soon as I can document the configuration that I am using it for. Have you visited Anders Wallins site http://www.anderswallin.net/tag/cnc/ yet? If you explore his site, you will find his hal and ini files some of which I copied in my spindle speed setup. I had to do my Emc2 conversion under a lot of time pressure do to the fact that my old controller broke down in the middle of a job I was doing for a paying customer. The fact that I was able to resume making the same parts very accurately (more accurate actually) after the conversion was remarkable. I will be finished with it in a week, and I will put up a web page or blog with info related to my conversion at that time and alert the community accordingly. good luck, Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
