Hi Dave; I am trying to configure a servo lathe using the Motenc light interface, loaded with the EMC 2.3 Live Disk. With features CSS, Threading, and Home at the index after Limit/Home Switch positioning.
My information so far has been the Integrator Manual and examples files. This is a difficult task with no examples of this equipment configuration: and a very important "motenc.0.enc-0x-index-enable" pin missing from the Integrator Manual. I am now informed that there is indeed a "motenc.0.enc-0x-index-enable" pin in the hal_motenc. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
