Another series of questions. As a newcomer to CNC world I have a lot
of those.
Looking at stepper based CNC kits, I eventually separated 2 leaders in
my prospective of retrofitting to Sherline Mill -
Xylotex 4 axis kit - http://www.xylotex.com/4AxSysKit.htm
and
Keling Inc 4 axis kit - http://

hi folks
i'm new to this...
new to cnc
new to emc2
new to linux
since i've almost finished a conversion of a desktop micro mill, i tried
some of the example g-code files installed from the bdi.
i use brushed dc motors together with whale2 drivers in
step/dir mode.
so far so good - but sometimes
I could be wrong, but I think the BDI is a REALLY old version of emc. I
would try to download the newest version and go through the stepconf wizard
to set up your pins on the parport, and then try running the g code again.

When emc shows the "following error on joint" message for a
step&direction system, that means the system is misconfigured. There
are two main causes for this error:
Cause 1: Insufficient "headroom" for acceleration and/or velocity.
Emc2 defines velocity and acceleration limits in both the trajec
well, i don't think it's that old

i've downloaded the newest ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj07-i386.is
I use the Xylotex 3-axis kit http://www.xylotex.com/3AxWPS.htm with my
small router and I'm satisfied.
However, I don't run with very high current -- the motors are rated 2A
which is already fairly low but I've found that running them at under
1.5A doesn't actually reduce top speeds but does make

aboat how i could make that kind of programming possible, and was not
aware that someone already has been working with someting like that.
