Re: One More Setup ????? EMC

Terry

Glad that you got it working. The answer is to edit a line in the ini
(I'll quote a bit of it here)

; Name of motion control program
; EMCMOT = steppermod.o
EMCMOT = freqmod.o
; If using freqmod, make sure INPUT_SCALE and OUTPUT_SCALE are
; the same for all AXIS_x below.

Change line three above to read

EMCMOT = smdromod.o

This motion control program acts like freqmod so you will need to work on
input and output scale as indicated. You will also need to work on some
of the tuning parameters in order to get smooth motion.

I'd also allow a bit more velocity in the [TRAJ] section than in any
single axis section so that smdromod.o can catch up with lost steps or
steps deferred during acceleration.
