Hi everyone; Thank you all for the help and guidance. Each email recieved was interesting and to the point, and I learnt something from each one.
FWIW; here's the issues I had: 1) The microstepping setup; default to 2 in stepconf; G540 does 10; I thought of microstepping as "fractions", but it turns out that, of course, they are not. 2) Home location, Home Switch Location, now figured out; 3) Axis direction, positive, negative; although easy, I had spent time googling for axis direction before and came up blank; 4) Velocity and Acceleration values. It is all pretty obvious in hindsight, but that's hindsight, right? I do a lot with lower layers of OpenGL (including writing programs that run on GPUs) and X,Y, and Z have a bit of a different slant on things; so of course I had some pre-conceived notions there, even though I knew they would be different. I'm sure there'll be more tweaking, and of course G code programming to ensure that I really have it down pat, but it all looks good to go from here. Thank you all; JohnS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
