If there is no particular and very strong reason for it, i would avoid using the pictured axis designations, it will cause constant headaches with any CAM software you might use.

I am sure you have also had to deal with the type of people that look at you and go " Oh you look fine,
say can you ( add requested favor here ) for me"? I have had to deal with that a lot. It don't matter how
tired you are, how much you just gut out life's aches and pains. they are utterly convinced you exist
to make other people's whims a reality. 
Sorry went on a bit of a rant there. And no it's no one from  the linuxcnc forum.

I'm not really sure exactly what is does, but this is where it is used in my hal file.
It looks like it is set to -10800 because 5400 to -5400 is -10800.

thanks for the reply I did not get a notice you had replied sorry for the delay in my reply.
I will give that a try in the morning. I am using all single motors for the axis. My table config is that the Y is for the across table motion, which is used by some but others use that direction as the X. (: (:  Not having the Y to home will make it so I will not need a home/limit switch for the rotary and I can jut switch the motor signal cable from the controller to the Y or rotary servo.  (:  (:   
 

I find it odd that a computer cannot populate a memory location with a value entered.
Goes against 65 years of experience.

The Z0.511 error is actually disconcerting.
I tried increasing the precision value from 3 to 4, still strange results.
Note that the errors are either very small, or only arise when setting the Offsets.

Touch-Offs prior to program Run are good.
But, that means I cannot rely on the Offsets.

Hi everyone, I'm reading this post from the beginning because with the search function I didn't find what I need (I'm on page 66 now)to be able to do a firmware bck and then connect the j-link v8 segger and flash.
I have a nvem v5 with rt1052.

Unless I'm misreading your response, you might want to buy a single drive and test the IO response speed with the actual hardware you intend to use before committing to buying a complete machine.

The other thing to consider is that nobody outside Tormach knows exactly how they're doing stuff behind the scenes with PathPilot.  They've not released the ethercat version of PP to the opensource community (yet?), and what little I've dug in to the non-ethercat version of PP indicates it's really, really different from standard LCNC.  Lots of python-based stuff, not as much HAL/INI.

I'm pointing this out because you're not as likely to get much help from this forum if you're trying to modify a 1500MX, whereas if you stick with a standard LCNC installation and some ethercat drives you'd likely find some assistance here when things inevitably go sideways.

I am glad.
And i am fully aware of the pain and suffering those types of injuries incur, been over 30 years i messed my spine, still hurts more or less, over 20 years since i messed my knee still hurts daily, elbow, hand, left foot, etc etc.
I learned to live with the pain to the point of not noticing most of the time while working, but any strain reminds me. Luckily, it has not stopped me or even slowed down a bit...well maybe about 10% slow down in general.
