Xenable isn't a HAL pin, so I assume that it is a signal that is created in your HAL file. You probably want to connect it to axis.0.amp-enable-out. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html > My setup is a 3 axis, 2 wire connection.

I thought that the step sequence required each phase to be completely off some of the time. There are 4 patterns, and you have 4 codes, so it should be possible to make it work. Looking at (for example) pattern 8 http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/rtcomps.html#sec:Stepgen Does show the phases you describe, I can't decide if that will drive a unipolar motor, or if is is designed as a differential drive to a driver. > The attached BillsMill.hal shows how I have configured the pins ie by just > omitting configurations for A & D, I don't know how this will work. You may need to choose pattern 6 or 8 (the actual phase excitation will be the same with either in your situation). These are the patterns that output the full 4 combinations on just two pins. > 3.

How does LinuxCNC fail to read them? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
