Re: 6-axis how can i get them working?


Tero,
your Robot has six axes, so i assume you have written a transformation that makes the controller have control of six axes. Are there already 6 axes visible in your Yemc? It is configurable in the ini-file and not every user-interface is able to show all axes.
This is the Parallel-Port-Pin-assignment that works at my machine
Pin 1: Motor 4 DIR
Pin 2: Motor 0 DIR
Pin 3: Motor 0 STEP
Pin 4: Motor 1 DIR
Pin 5: Motor 1 STEP
Pin 6: Motor 2 DIR
Pin 7: Motor 2 STEP
Pin 8: Motor 3 DIR
Pin 9: Motor 3 STEP
Pin 10: (unused)
Pin 11: (unused)
Pin 12: ALL Motors REFERENCE SWITCH
Pin 13: ALL Motors NEG. LIMIT SWITCH
Pin 14: Motor 4 STEP
Pin 15: ALL Motors POS. LIMIT SWITCH
Pin 16: Motor 5 DIR
Pin 17: Motor 5 STEP
Pin 18-Pin 25: GND

in emcmot.c you will be able to find some lines that send out the pulses to the apropriate i/o-adresses.

Hi,     I'm using EMC for my robot arm. I have been able to get 3-axes working. I use these 3-axes via parallel port(stepper). What do i have to do to get rest 3-axes to work?. Do I have to edit some source code?     Tero Kaarlela
