homing speed as everything else is stored in your ini file
on a per axis basis ..see AXIS0 , AXIS 1 axis are in xyzabcuvw order starting at 0
see the homing section of the manual , is the machine running at correct speeds?

Orient is also covered in the manual , and the wiki , but we would need information , as to what is required
is the toolchanger it's self working or is that required also.if so how does it work , what connections have you made

do you want the whole machine configured and set up.
you seem to be having difficulty grasping what is required in general , so rather than drip feed every question
perhaps supply the information of the manual , and we can come up with a plan to accomplish a working machine
far quicker than question by question

as it can be a daunting task not only the hardware , but the configuration also

I looked thru the manual for spindle orientation, didn't find it. I need the spindle orientation to do a manual tool change, as well as an auto tool change. I have not torn into the tool changer yet, I am more then willing to deal with a manual change. The wy my tool changer works like the video.

Spindle stops and orients

Z goes to origin

Z raises apx 7.5 inches abouve the home position

Tool changer rotates to new tool

z axis comes down on tool and locks in.


I haven't found any thing about locking or unlocking the pull stud. I believe its done when the z axis rises by itself.

Spindle orient uses the orient component www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/orient.9.html
also as mentioned the wiki wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SpindleOrientation

depending on the type of pull stud operation it's either pneumatic or electrically operated solenoid

I read thru both of the spindle orient links and I am totally lost. It looks like the 2nd is for a vfd, and the 1st..... well ... I just don't understand it. Any help would be great. and thanks again to everyone here for dealing with someone so Linux and electrically inept.
