EMC2 Configuration

[cobra18t]

Has anyone setup the Romaxx HS-1 for use with Linux EMC2?

There seems to be a discrepancy between the "Romaxx pin settings.txt" file and the Mach3 xml file on pin settings. Also, the pin settings txt file does not contain all the necessary information for configuration.

Does anyone have any of this information (see attached images)?

Motor pinouts which changed a while back are:

X axis Step 2 Dir 6
Y axis Step 3 Dir 7
Z axis Step 4 Dir 8
A axis Step 5 Dir 9

On the HS the motor tuning is as follows

X And Y axis are 714 steps

Z axis is 10,000

Depending on the age of the machine and what breakout board you have, this may also be the motor pinouts

X axis Step 2 Dir 3
Y axis Step 4 Dir 5
Z axis Step 6 Dir 7
A axis Step 8 Dir 9

It's one or the other, we used no other combination's.

I read that the stepper drivers are Geckodrive 201's. Is this true?

[romaxxcnc]

Yes, that is true. We actually use the Gecko G201X drives now. Better drive, more reliable.
