I have now converted three machines to EMC2 using parallel port for the two
small machines (a lathe and a mill) and 5i20+7i37 cards for the bigger
milling machine. The next two (lathes) are a bit more complicated in that
they have servo motors with encoders driving the spindles.
Whereas the

Whereas the stepgen component has velocity-command output, the
hostmot2.stepgen component seems to lack this kind of output (it seems to
have position-command only). Is it possible to generate a variable frequency

You can get a variable frequency pulse train out of a hostmot2 stepgen by
switching it to velocity mode. Look at the control-type and velocity-cmd

Many thanks for the pointer to the correct docs.
I was looking at the integrators manual (pdf). It fails to mention the pins
velocity-cmd and control-type. It has other errors also.
I new the answer would be something like this - I am still learning where to
find good docs on
