Hello, all. I'm having a little trouble integrating a Sherline 5400 CNC-ready mill, a Gecko G540 drive controller, and the MINI interface. I've worked past a problem or two on the Gecko side, and I'm just =this= close to getting things working right.
My problem is that the JOG buttons on the MINI screen won't move the steppers. I receive the message "command (EMC_AXIS_JOG) cannot be executed until the machine is out of e-stop and turned on". Unlike the standard Sherline CNC rig, mine has a hardware e-stop. It is wired to the Gecko 540 connector pin 1, which comes in as parallel port pin 10. That part is actually very happy, as the e-stop button on the screen changes from (greeen "estop reset") to (gray "estopped") depending on the position of the physical button. How do do the "turn on" thing? One more interesting factoid: Jog -does- work perfectly if I run the AXIS interface, with NO other changes to wiring or INI files. (Estop works fine in AXIS also.) So I'm hoping that there is a simple configuration issue involved here. TIA for any suggestions! - Marty Sherline 5400 Gecko G540 EMC2 over Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
