wow... I have been working on this for 3 months (not joking about that) trying to learn and not just "make it work" This is fantastic... it's working beautifully now!! I guess I can get busy cutting all the Gcode files I have generated over the last several months now just waiting for a working table!
Mr. Radek, I genuinely appreciate your assistance! I can't believe I hadn't caught that earlier, but as I said, I was under the impression that axis' obeyed the .ini regardless, didn't realize that you had to explicitly add the .ini fields to the hal. That just adds to my amazement of what a flexible and fantastic piece of software this is!! Many thanks to all that make EMC such a valuable resource to us all! Now.. off to all my other forums to post the answer in an attempt to help the next guy.. -James On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 4:52 PM, Chris Radek <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, May 06, 2011 at 03:06:02PM -0600, James Cizek wrote: > > > > So to answer your question, I guess the lightbulb just turned back on in > my > > head that you have to reference in your hal config anything you want to > > follow back in the .ini for the limits to take place.
