U axis configuration

Ok I had tried that and came up with an errors page and thought I needed 2.5 so I have done it again and this is the errors file

Now I don't have a "gantry-hs.hal" file only a file "gantry.hal"

thanks again

"gantry-hs" Is a gantry home switch configuration. I managed to open gantry once but the second and subsequent times it comes up with EMC2 Errors " could not open command file 'gantry.hal' 1720"

Thanks again

Ok Captain Chaos now has a Kernel Panic

I am not sure, that was on 2.4.3 I am now setting up on 2.4.6

Ok got another Kernal Panic-Not Syncing:Attempted to kill Init! Serious stuff I then murdered the computer trying to reboot. The long and short of it was the alt key was stuck down, cleaned the keyboard and away we went. I now have it loaded as gantry.ini in EMC2.4.6 and will now go on to configure it to my machine and if I can get around that I will have a go at gantry-hs.ini. Thanks a lot for all the help.

Thanks for all the help Andy I seem to have it pretty much squared around now, and thanks to you to John for pointing me to those gantry files. I have configured the files now to operate my machine and got the drive directions and scales worked out and both drives on the X operating as I want so I can now go ahead and complete my rebuild. When I next get a chance I will publish the hal and ini files for my machine for those who might be interested.

Ok this is crazy I can't search back more than one page. I have finally completed my rebuild, got the homing working nicely in joint mode and using a hard wired switch (DPDT) to switch between combined home and limit switches for their respective output pins as suggested by Czerech back in June but can't now find the page.
I now have a new problem, I get a joint 0 and 3 following error when I switch to world mode and try to jog any of the axes. I can, without jogging run a program, but I can't jog to a touch off. I can jog in joint mode no problem, but pretty pointless as i can only jog X and A 10 mm at a time. I've checked the HAL and INI and both 0 and 3 or X and A are configured the same I tried changing the MIN_FERROR from .25 which I got from stepconfig for Gecko 520 to 0.010 as in the manual and still get the same error and have swapped steppers between X and Y all to no avail. Where is the best place to go looking for a solution?
