need Configuration for micromill 3000 - any help?

I have a new MicroProto system Micromill 3000 and want to use EMC2 instead of Mach3. I am having trouble getting all the xyz configuration and port pins assigned correctly. Has anyone configured one of these machines to work with EMC and can anyone supply the correct configuration?

MPS DSLS 3000 Micromill.

Thanks for taking notice of my request! I can get a fair way along the EmC configuration process but get stuck in a few places. Re basic driver info - I have a Lambda Series 1000 DK driver but cannot find the step time, step space, direction hold or direction setup details anywhere so they can be entered. I can enter most of the parallel port pin assignments but don't know which to select for Mill to PC inputs. The mill parallel port pin 10 is EMO (don't know what this stands for?), pin 11 is x , pin 12 is y in and 13 is Z in. I'm unsure what to select from the EMC drop down box for these. Pin 1 is called 'select' out in the micromill config. I apologise for being a bit of a novice. Mach 3/ MPS3000 has a config file that takes care of all the configs (Mach3mill.xml) Hope you can help, I'd really like to use EMC and get away from windows! -many thanks Ed Pillinger

Do you have it up and running with Mach? If so you can find the info you want on the set up pages of Mach. If you want help on finding the info in Mach let me know.

Thanks for all that - I'll give your suggestions a go!

Thanks for the advice. I do have mach running on an XP computer. I'll see if I can find the relevent info. I have run through all the stuff that is there when you run the programme but cannot find info on pin assignment or driver setup stepper timing etc. There is an .xml file supplied by MPS which takes care of everything automatically so you don't get to enter info manually which would be a better learning curve.

Start Mach. Click on configuration. There will be tabs there for motors, spindle etc. You should find a window that shows the current settings and allows you to edit the setings.
