Crusader II retrofit

also, i just looked at your ini file above . you may want to change your setting a little for each axis:

MIN_LIMIT = -0.001
MAX_LIMIT = 8.0

to

MIN_LIMIT = -10
MAX_LIMIT = 10

you may limit out before anything happens.

Just went back to the shop and checked the wiring on the westamps.,.., it was wrong. Now with the main control powered up, when I push the linuxcnc power on button the drive motors start to growl and the hand wheels can not be turned.

How ever it still doesn't respond to input thru the jog button on X or Y axis....ummmm

Jim

how about z axis?

also, does it still kick out a "joint 0 following error" error?

With the changes to the ini and hal files suggested by you and PCW it now has no joint errors and when linuxcnc is turned on the motors engage. I have left Z axis alone for now as those crashes come quick

Jim

At this point , I would choose an axis and carefully trace your wiring between the amp and the 7i77. Make certain that portion is wired correctly.
The fact that the drives enable and lock you servos in my opinion is a good indicator that it is setup correctly. It must be a setting in linuxCNC that is holding things up.

Maybe set pid settings and ff settings all to zero. Only do this on maybe X axis first.
