Font size in Axis code window

In the TRAJ section try changing the MAX_Linear_Velocity

[TRAJ]
AXES = 3
COORDINATES = X Y Z
LINEAR_UNITS = inch
ANGULAR_UNITS = degree
CYCLE_TIME = 0.010
DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 0.10
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 2.00

You can set the minimum also...

EMC V2.4 Integrator Manual
Chapter 4. INI File
MIN_VELOCITY = .01 The approximate lowest value the jog slider.
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 1.0 The maximum velocity for linear jogs, in machine units per sec-
ond.

Thanks.

In the interim, I did a bunch of trial and error and found this same line.

Spent a couple of hours trying different figures, and was astonished to find that with my new D510MO motherboard, emc2 supports rapids of about 320 ipm on my computer setup. I backed it down to about 275 ipm.

Wrote a short gcode program to run it the length of the movement (18" on X) repeatedly. This is the computer only, not trying to move the steppers yet.

If it can really move a 500 lb table that fast, I'll really be astonished. Will run a similar program to move the table at a fast speed in one direction almost the full travel, then rapid back to the starting point at the other end of travel, against a dial indicator. Will be pleasantly surprised if it can actually move the table at that speed without missing any steps.

Don't get your hopes up, it won't. The limit is almost never the software but the hardware. Typically how fast the available voltage can "charge" and "discharge" the motor winding inductance.
Or, with that mass of load, how fast the available torque can accellerate the load. Perhaps you could do 500ipm, but it might take 100 feet to get there…

Didn't really think the hardware was up to it. And the rapids aren't generally that important on a Bridgeport. Would like to have a small router with real fast rapids and rapid acceleration.

But that's another project for the future.

Ref changing font in the G Code window

Dewey's method worked in 2.6.0~pre once I found the exact syntax

In your ~/.axisrc file put the line

root_window.tk.call(".pane.bottom.t.text", "configure", "-font", "Helvetica 20")

and it will produce the commanded font.

It doesn't matter if you used my earlier hack, this overrides the value I changed in the widget initialisation.
