Re: EMC running at last!

Okay, I tried it again, got it to work, and documented what I did:

edit emc.ini with the particular machine that you have in mind:

TASK = minimilltask (for Fred's mini stepper mill)

EMCMOT = steppermod.o (for a stepper system)

Look down past the AXIS ini info for the minimill stuff again:

EMCIO= minimillio

Edit all three axis' to disable the limit switch settings

[AXIS_0].... (axis_1 and axis_2 are going to be edited too)

MIN_LIMIT_SWITCH_POLARITY= 0
MAX_LIMIT_SWITCH_POLARITY=0
