Thanks Peter. I am sorry, I maint PMD, not PID in my statements above. I tried to calibrate running HAL, but the analogue output is being clipped at 1 V. There is probably a setting such as MAX_OUTPUT that I have not set yet. The OUTPUT_SCALE and OUTPUT_OFFSET settings in the .ini file is

[Emc-users] Point-to-point machining center retrofit?

2010-03-31 Thread Greg Bernard
Just wondering if anyone out there has had experience retrofitting a point-to-point woodworking machining center to run on EMC2? I'm thinking of a machine such as the Biesse Rover which would typically have 1 or 2 router spindles, vertical and horizontal boring heads, and grooving saw. Having

Gentlemen, I just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9fJDgHmuNsfeature=related Is this a copy/version of the machine you are thinking about? If it is then EMC2 will control it. It is just a three axis mill with multiple heads. You will be able to control them easily. Programming
