Most common are "step and direction". Here's the an

Good plan. Don't try to think that it will all come to you at once but
let it soak in a chunk at a time. The

Hi Dave.
Yes, for stepper motor machines, emc creates a pulse for each and every
incremental motion of the motors -- a typical machine might have 8000
pulses per inch, and that machine moving at 2 inches per second would
generate 16000 pulses per second.
After interpreting the gcode, the details
I'm new to EMC and CNC, and have been trying to get my head around what's
going on with EMC and a CNC machine.
I've gone through (read) the CNC setup process a couple of times, and I have
to admit that I'm still a bit confused.
What I'm not understanding, really, is just exactly _what_ EMC is d
