OK, I have everything set up to do what I want, now I need to connect to my
machine.
How do I change the parallel port pin-out for XZA instead of XYZ? The .ini
file is set up for 4 axis so the A will work properly. I know I'll probably
need to add a parallel port.
And I noticed something odd. The A axis move very slowly when a G00 is
commanded, but will move very quickly if the G00 is combined with either
the X or Z axis.
In terms of stepper drives, am I better to use the existing Compumotor Zeta
drives or change to something like the Gecko? I need the stepper to receive
5,000 steps/rev and 5 rev/inch so 25,000 steps/inch. My target is 10 inches
per second so I need 250,000 steps/sec.
Thanks.
