4th Axis rotation angle limit problem

I am away from home this weekend, and I think I need a linuxcnc machine to work this out on.

It might be best to use a limit2 HAL function on the velocity command rather than rely on the stepgen built-in limits. Then we only need to check one value for non-zero before switching to velocity mode, or out of velocity mode.

Hi Andy
Do you have any news for me? where you able to verify on a linuxcnc pc?
thanks for sharing your knowledge

Sorry, I find myself rather over committed. To the extent that I am thinking about taking a couple of days of work to get on with all the stuff I have promised people I will do for them.

Try this:
For extra fun set the velocity stepgen accel rate really low in the iNI and see how feed is inhibited as it slows down.

Hi Andy, thank you so much!
It works like a charm... pretty awesome.
I'll post a video next week, now I have to figure out how to do the toolpaths correctly.
Cheers,

Hi Andypugh!
It has been a few months since I tried this configuration successfully, even if I never used it. Now that I've decided to finally make it work, I need to convert it to adapt to a Mesa 6i25 card. I have many doubts because I don't know if the HAL mux component should work only with base-thread or with servo-thread. The most complicated point is which pins are the correct ones for the mux, since I get an error when linking the stepgens. Here I attach the configuration of my cnc router to ask you to please give it a look and advice me on how to correct the mux function. I've been trying to do it myself without success. Thanks in advance.
