The X stepgen is show as 5 in the tab, and as hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.05.counts in the test window, and it is changing while I press the movement button > That should open a halmeter window, and you can check that LinuxCNC > thinks that step pulses are being sent (you can select to look at > different stepgens if necessary) I don't understand why the first connector is show as 5 !? > If the "counts" pin isn't moving then it is probably a scaling > problem, perhaps you need to move a whole inch (mm?) to create a > single step pulse. I have done math for the scaling, not any magic, just motors have 200 steps/rev, in the drive microstepping setup at 800 microsteps, pitch is 5mm/rev, scale is 160 microsteps/mm. > If it is moving only slightly, then check that the motor isn't moving > imperceptibly.

Why the first connector pin is not displayed as number 0 ? ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
