That won't work.The Slave is currently unavailable in the current configuration.I will have to set it manually.

Upon reflection, do what thy will.

I have been tuning some steppers using the stepdir plugin and the quadencoder plugins as feedback. The tuning hasn't been working too well and I'm curious if it is possible to set the Stepgen into velocity mode? Thankyou!

sets csp mode.

No, I haven't changed anything.
Those are the servo's default settings.
I need to see where I can switch the servo from speed to position mode.

Why do you want to set a speed? Normally you set a position.

Addendum:
Something is wrong.
In the current configuration of the servos (factory settings), it is not possible to set a speed.
Is anyone else using the 6M60-400H2A1-M17?

Does the amplifier actually fault and if so do you actually know why it is faulting?

Sitting in the coffee shop having nothing else to do than posting rubbish half knowledge

I think my problem is usually not the missing updates, but the forgotten details, due to lack of documentation. So maybe just update the documentation is already good.

I never connect my cnc machines to the internet (what for?).
I would leave the existing system completely untouched and create an independent newer backup system. (Takes time pressure away)

The hours you have to invest in the backup system is probably the same as fixing things once it stopped working. (bad wheather? unplug! )
I bought parallelport cards for cheap, they worked on newer, but still old hardware. (6-7 year old 2nd hand PC)

I would only update if there is a particular function that I want or need.
Never change running system.

OK, thx, ce mode m'avait échappé.

you could use a PushButton (under the linuxcnc-HAL heading)

It makes a hal pin.
Don't forget to set the property:
pin_name and pin_type

My Latest config still having issue with joint 0 fail. 

Do I start from scratch? do you mind giving a example how to configure this . Took me awhile just to try to get this far.

Thanks

Tommy,
Thanks for the reminder about the on-machine simulation, that works fine.

I was hoping I had missed something in Camotics or NCViewer, or there was another product available that I could run at the design stage away from the machine.

Well, this shows I need to install LinuxCNC Simulator on my desktop.

If your desktop is a Windows machine, you can use Virtualbox to host linuxcnc on.
