Hi everyone, I am new to this list but am running out of options for help elsewhere! I am fairly new to CNC, but have gotten pretty far along on my own. Have a great 25"x25" router table running great under EMC2 and am trying to finish up the last bit of config for my scratch design plasma table.
Seem to have run out of suggestions on all the forums I have posted on, and haven't gotten any replies from the developers list, so am hoping someone can help me answer this question. The short version of the question is this: Is there anyway a HAL command can cause EMC to ignore the MAX VELOCITY setting found in the .ini file? Because this is exactly what is happening. Everyone I have talked to on all the forums or in person seems to think that this is impossible and that it should always obey the .ini file. Can someone tell me if I am missing something? I am sure I can debug this myself if I can learn what (if any) are possibilities of overriding that setting. It obeys it during gcode execution, homing, and jogging, just not the probe. More details about my problem and things I have tried can be found here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,10/id,9070/lang,english/ (and many thanks to BigJohnT for all his help thus far) I am using the THC300 sample config as a starting point, and in this config there is a "probe" loop that causes the Z axis to find the top of the material (using the float switch) before turning on the torch. During the downward (and upward) probe part, the Z axis is completely ignoring the MAX VELOCITY setting in the ini file and slamming down at a rate much faster than it's even capable of. Any suggestions appreciated. I have read almost every document that comes with EMC cover to cover and can't seem to find anything that indicates that you can override that ini setting or what might be causing this...
