Hi all;
I have just received a Sherline rotary table that I intend to connect
to my KX1.
I have added the wires, but have not physically connected the unit yet.
Ok - I'm trying to add it in. I see the rotary axis in the view
screen; and the machine seems to home correctly, except when I try and
touch off the X, Y or Z axis; I get the "Can't issue MDI command when
not homed" error message.
Here is my hand-edited ini file - any silly/obvious mistakes here? I'm
a relative newbie with this stuff, and thought I had it figured out.
Thanks for any pointers.
John A. Stewart.
