Hi - I got an old CNC router (phoenix) from a school district auction and am very eager to get it going. The old interface is using a serial cable and I need figure out how to connect this to EMC. The electronics part is where I am a bit rusty - sorry if I ask obvious questions.
Here is the low down: Drivers: IB106 (see http://www.forsalesticker.com/drivers.jpg) Steppers: 1.8 deg - Eastern Air Devices LA34BJK-P500 How do I know what numbers to put on the driver timing settings on the first screen of stepConf? (see http://www.forsalesticker.com/StepConf1.png) How do I determine the following on the axis configuration: (see http://www.forsalesticker.com/StepConf1.png) 'Motor steps per revolution' 'Driver microstepping' 'leadscrew pitch' (do I just count the number of threads per inch?) I am guessing that I bypass this board completely (see http://www.forsalesticker.com/bboard.jpg) Any advice will be much appriciated.
