You can control much of emc with the keyboard, in this case you want to hit an F1, followed by an F2, and you should be ready to try a jog, with the mouse, or from the keyboard. The left-right arrows on the keyboard are the X axis, the up-down arrows are the Y axis, and the pageup-pagedown keys are the Z axis. Theeres more, but this will get you going I think. >Greetz, > >Koen > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > I tryed it that way with the the F1 and F2 key and it didn't work, I still get the same error. Can anyone tell me how I have to connect an Estop to my single parallel port and how I have to connect my stepper drivers, or where I can find the information. Has anyone the same setup and can mail me his .ini files? Greetz, Koen |
