hey do you mind sharing your config? I have a similar lathe

I could re invent the wheel but might as well check out what you did.

regards

Andrew

No problem, I'm next to the machine tomorrow, so I'll post the configuration files here.
Hello

That would be awesome.

I have never used linuxcnc on a lathe before and would to see the rest of your set up to if possible. If you have time for a chat can you Email me please.

You can find my email at carbidecutters.co.nz. Regards

Hello Andrew
I access my cnc lathe files they are a bit messy but they work so if you can help someone i will be glad
Greeting

awesome

I think most of it makes sense

hey because you send me the whole config I saw all andys lathe macros.

I have not dived into glade or pyvcp much yet

if I changed all the hal connections to suit my hardware how hard do you think it would be to get the lathe conversational stuff working just on a sim? I can handle the hal connections fine I think and the ladder logic makes sense

regards

Andrew

Yes it is a complete configuration so it should work if you change it.
What hardware do you use?
greeting

I use a mesa 6i25 and 7i77 - 7i84 combo

i am pretty confortable changing mesa pin names etc. its just the pyvcp stuff that I get stuck with.

I have three weeks off over christmas and all my servos just turned up so I will attack this then and hopefully we can all work it out.

I would like to use a stock standard linuxcnc if I can rather than pathpilot

but will just see how good axis can be with the modifications

regards

Andrew
