Gentlemen,
I have the preview showing the tool like I want to see. The A and B
axis tilt in the direction I want. The motion for the A axis is what I
want but the motion for the B axis is still tilted opposite what I
want.
I cannot see where to make the change. I am thinking it is in

But, in velocity mode, will it keep up with the encoder counts
up to the max velocity? That might be what I should be using,
then. I will try it!

Hi Jon. Thanks for your response. I hope this helps:
The Puma560 has 6 joints all having 40v dc brushed motors. The 3 lower joints
are rated at 160W and the final 3 at 80W.
The encoders are sin/cos types with differential outputs and an index output. I
can convert this to A/B square waves if

That is exactly how my Anilam control works, if you spin the dial fast the
machine
will go the proper distance but not as fast as you can turn the dial... so it
keeps

The slower it can move the longer it takes to catch up to you spinning the
MPG...
I bet if you move the MPG at 50% of the speed that works at the jog setting of
100%
it will behave the same at a 50% jog setting.

If you want a graduated wheel then you have to turn it slow enough that
the machine can keep up. There isn't any real way round this. Even
expensive industrial machines have this limit. However with their very

problem. One way rou

I think it would be better to consider a jog wheel and MPG (manual pulse

Do I need to do a 'make clean'?

While I can't give you specific help there is some examples on the wiki site.
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?EmcKnowledgeBase
look in videos
Also there is a puma config you can look at after you install EMC2.

I'm running EMC 2.2.6 on 3 systems. I use Axis on all setups. The
