configuring lathe problem stepconfig

Many thanks you have been more than helpful

I will have a play with the code and see what happens.

Regarding the 10 revs back I was seeing if reversing the chuck (by hand) would reverse the Z, but I did not know if it should do that (I do have B set up)

So I don't know if B pulse is working yet as it should.

I will try a tapping cycle as that should reverse it.

Would I be better off with a 100 slot disc (mine is 64 slot)?

You might well be.

I have a 120 hole disc on mine, which was the limit of the number of 3mm holes with 3mm spacing I could get on the disc.
I prevoiusly had a 60 hole version and this is much smoother.

I just have an A and a Z, no B. I don't want to do rigid tapping and as all threading is done in the same direction, B was no advantage.

Ok I will cut a 100 slot and test it out.

I have read some ware "The advantages of using both A and B are increased noise immunity and increased resolution"

thanks Clive

That is true, but the disadvantage to me was having to fit another reading head and wire it in

You are using master if you have U or V in a stepconf config.
But I just pushed fixes to that problem.

I have never used the git and don't really understand the master. I had used the 2.6 hybrid cd iso and then updated from the apt get thing within Linux which seemed to bring it to 2.7 ish

But at least a bug was found. Thank you for your help. ..Clive


Edit as of the 3/4/15 I have redone an update and the u - v bug has been cleared
