Stepper motor speeds
Guys, I have a pretty good handle on sizing stepper motors with respect to required torque, but I haven't heard any discussions about speed ranges and how they're controlled. I'm in the

Re: emc pinout
On TurboCNC you can change the pinouts easily - in the setup which is saved in the ini file. EMC and DANCAD don't have that feature, as near as I can tell. You would have to get a 'breakout box'

Re: Pre-wired drive unit
I know you said "off list", but I think a lot of folks would be interested in the general price range for systems like this. Can you give us an approximate idea of what something like this would

Re: emc pinout
You can not change the pinout without modifying the source code and recompiling. Not for the Linux beginner. The backlash works as well as backlash can. No EMC does not read a tach (just wonder what

That was one of the prime reasons for me to get a subscription. I was interested in the "Heavy Metal" milling machine project. I even bought a few back copies to get all the articles, a few months

Re: Polar Coordinate based CNC
As it happens, my SHARNOA CNC Vmill uses Polar coords for rapids (G10), linear feeds (G11), and circular interpolation (G12 & G13). The Polar mode allows geometrically pure ellipses, too. Also, makes

Re: Polar Coordinate based CNC
Since Y=rsin(theta) and X=rcos(theta) it is a very simple conversion. If you want to go the other way it becomes: r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) and theta=arctan(y/x). Should be a simple conversion. The problem

Re: Polar Coordinate based CNC
Hi Lee, Sounds like this would be similar to a Rho-Theta arm. Yes, the controller would have to know how to convert rectangular to polar coordinates. I'm wondering if EMC can already do this? That
