lathe with 3 stepper one for each axis Solved

Please send an archive with your configuration

this is the config file I used in xyza config who is able to move 3 stepper axis but I can't upload working code, hope is this file

the open cables without a enclosure and cabinet is quite risky to use and cable length does effect on critical timing

Ok.
First.
You must write the code by hand. You have to learn hal for it.
Positive is you can use your config as base. Or find a parport config for a lathe in the examples (i'm only in mills, but sureley sombody can give you a hint witch to use)

Second
Your spindle is not an axis.
The puls output is not coming from a stepgen but you need to use siggen in square mode for that. linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/siggen.9.html

Direction and speed is coming from motion. linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/motion.9.html
Direction can go direct to the output pin
Speed must be transformed via siggen into pulses

Yes this will be a bit of a programing job but after you finished you will be proud of yourself.

After a lot of working now linuxcnc I recomend not use raspberry pi is better a core duo.
The pc with debian seems good added a wifi samba server a usb parport replaced with a 6$ fake parport from amazon and them added a parport from moschip,
When replyed I though only .hal file is needed for configuration but there is a lot of config files.
today I mix a xyza mill with the lathe conf , removed "y" and have two rotary, 1 spindle and 2 an "a" in axis_2 now it's time to link spindle rpm with axis_2 stepgen.2 steps. and stepper position with encoder.signal.
Stepgen.2 from "a" axis_2. has rotary move with gradians.
But needs work I can't solve this throuble please help
