If i look at this piece of Toma code :
Code:
net StepZ stepgen.2.step => parport.0.pin-06-out
net DirZ stepgen.2.dir => parport.0.pin-07-out
The Toma architecture is based on stepgen. This is stepper motor control.
Maybe there is a trick to make from stepgen a servo controlled z axis. A sort of conversion step will do the work.
But this step is outside the Toma code !!!!
The working solution can be looking like this :
Code:
net Conversion_StepZ_in stepgen.2.step => Servo_Z_step_in
net Conversion_DirZ_in stepgen.2.dir => Servo_Z_dir_in
//So here in the middle the conversion step from stepper to servo will take place.
//It's a component that will do the work.
net Conversion_StepZ_out Servo_Z_step_out => stepgen.2.step
net Conversion_DirZ_out Servo_Z_step_out => stepgen.2.dir
A more usefull code design :
Code:
net 1 stepgen.2.step => servo_Z_step_in
net 2 stepgen.2.dir => servo_Z_dir_in
net 3 servo_Z_step_out => stepgen.2.step
net 4 servo_Z_step_out => stepgen.2.dir
The second code design, is a conversion from stepper to servo signal.
Maybe PCW knows a solution.
I can help to write a short component, because my time is limited.
