LinuxCNC setup to drive 4AX_40V_425_DB

[Marlo Swedzinski]

Hello All:

I am finishing up building the Dave Gatton CNC. 

With the 4AX_40V_425_DB electrically hooked up but sitting on the bench, I am only getting 1/2 turn when I do a 1" test in LinuxCNC.

Linux asks for the following 4 pieces of information:

Hello Jeff:

Thanks, Okay so I believe I have the pins set right but do not understand where I get the following that Linux asks for:

Step Time
Step Space
Direction Hold
Direction Setup

Has anyone setup these and know what they should be set too or why I only get a 1/2 turn for one inch when I should get 2.

Can you help me out?

Hi,

  Those number don't have anything to do with the steps per unit (i.e. inch).
  Take a look at the INI file manual for linuxcnc

http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/config/ini_config.html
 
  to see what the parameters are for

  If you are using the setup wizard, look here:
