Re: It's ALIVE!!!!!

Clint,

You set all of these parameters in the .ini file that is specified in your
run file.

I am going from memory here, but I think these are the correct parameters to
change. I am giving you the section that you will find the parameter in and
then the specific parameter. In the AXIS sections you need to change the
parameters for each axis individually even though I am showing AXIS0:

> 1. Where do I change the polarity for the direction the axis moves? Z

[AXIS_0]
INPUT_SCALE = (Change to a negitive value to reverse)
JOGGING_POLARITY = (This affects which direction the axis moves when
jogging. It is 0 or 1)

> 2. Where do I set the maximum speed? Z axis stalls and quivers with a

[TRAJ]
MAX_VELOCITY =
you may also want to play with
DEFAULT_ACCELERATION =

[AXIS_0]
INPUT_SCALE =

[TRAJ]
DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 1.0

Start using it and asking questions.
