Linux Newb

Hi Ya'll, apologies if this question is answered somewhere, I just don't know what to search. I have been using linuxcnc for a couple years and I'm super comfortable with the interface and day to day type things. What I don't know how to modify are the "calibration" files as I would call them.

I am looking to increase my max feed rates for X axis at the moment, I know I can run quicker but don't know how to adjust it in the files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Its always a good idea to post your config files ie hal and ini and give what the version of linuxcnc is.

Ok gotcha. I'll look around and see if I can find those! Is there just 2?

They are the main ones. You should find them in the config folder

/home/user_mane/linuxcnc/configs/name_of_your_config
there are two files with the same name as the folder, one with .hal and one with .ini
You will have to open that INI file and edit it with a text editor (NOT with word processors like libreoffice), change the values of the max_velocity for the axis/joints and save.

Thank you all for the replies. Sorry I don't know linux at all, I only use it to run the machine. Is this what you're looking for? I don't see a .ini file
