Of course you can. I have a machine set-up running like this now. But as some
others have already said, the speed of software step generation will be your
limiting factor. If I had to do it over I would have taken a different route
with my set-up, and used hardware step generation (probably w

Yes, absolutely.
In fact there are at least two ways to do it.
You can run open-loop, sending positi
Can the stepper motor 'step & direction' output from EMC2 be used to

I believe the Yaskawa Sigma II amps can run in this mode. My
thought was to build

Anything you can add will help others speed past this part of installing and

John,
I have run 3 of these on a mill without any major issues.the only
problem I have found is that some of the revixsion of the controller pcb
used opto isolators witha limiting resitor in series with led in the

I started a step and direction timing page on the wiki site. If anyone can add
to it
that would be great. I use the same format as the stepconf setup page so
newbee's
won't get confused nor will I...

Yes, you'd need a special HAL driver that takes a velocity input to send
to the drive, and produces a position output to send back to emc.
Looking at the pdf you linked to, you would have to arrange for emc to
produce a 16-bit velocity command to be written to register 0x30
("Velocity Word FIFO in
Of course, it would have been better if I had put parts 1, 2, and 3 in
the correct numerical order.
Please rearrange in your head ;)

I think the Hostmot2 files are on the Mesa website, but my understanding
was that they only work with the 5i22. I should look more closely at
the VHDL source I guess :)

I am starting work on my mill setup, which uses Sanyo BLDC motors and
Rutex drives. The Rutex drives have SPI and step/direction inputs.
Without thinking too much about it, I brought up the standard stepper
configuration in Axis and before I tried to command a move, I grabbed
the motor shaft and tu

Just make the INPUT_SCALE negative in the .ini.

Help please
I have successfully ungraded to EMC2 (Ubuntu) and things are running
smoothly with my Stepper motors using the standard set up files. I had
to add/adjusted the "step length" which now seems fine, but have changed
little else.
My only problem is, the axis are going the wrong ways!
