Re: Help with EMC.ini for camtronics 5 amp controllers

ben:

I suspect many will offer, but I'd gladly send my *.ini files if they
might help. I have EMC running on a PIII using steppermod and freqmod.
I'd suggest you get steppermod going before tackling freqmod. freqmod
has many more tunable parameters.

Mine are not heavily commented but may be of some help. :-)

Let me know if you'd like these. I can attach to an e-mail off list.
They aren't here but could send this evening.
