[Emc-users] Lathe update

Greetings, I am trying to add a 4th axis to my USC from Pico Systems. My set of config files is at: I defined the new axis as W and set it up the way the other axes are setup as far as I can tell. I didn’t set up the limit switches because I wasn’t sur

Re: [Emc-users] SCARA Kinematics WTF!?

Hi, First of all, thanks for your reply andy. I know of the ja-branch, but unfortunately it isnt in master. But I am willing to help. JA also needs documentation, I only found a few wiki-pages. In the meantime I did some more tinkering and made some progress. In HAL the joints0-3 now map to axis.

I had to cut down a stepper motor shaft from 1/2" to a little less than 3/8" to fit an encoder. The motor had 1/2" shafts on both ends. The motor was a nema 34 with flying leads. I taped the leads to the body of the motor. I chucked the 1/2" shaft I did not want to machine in the 3 jaw chuck. I
