Re:pncconf - feature requests

here is a sample config with just random settings:
You may need to edit the mesa load config to get it to run
on 2.4. (the 3pwmgen line)

Is "numof_3pwmgen" ever a valid modparam? I thought it was "num_3pwmgens".

In either case, it will cause the drivers to not load and emc2 to fail to start with 2.4. On reflection I am not sure that that is the most logical behaviour. Perhaps it should carry on regardless?

Chris,

attached the current configuration of the machine.

No spindle control. I need to think through the safety interlocks as the spindle has a pneumatic collet. I have to investigate the spindle speed monitor and interlock the air solenoid ( which is presently push button activated ) so that an auto tool changer functionality can be implemented.

So a basic XYZ METRIC machine.
Leadscrews are 5 mm pitch.
Servo motors are directly coupled to the screws.
Linear scale has a basic resolution of 20 micron but in quadrature mode the resolution is 5 micron.
The reader head on the scale outputs an Index pulse for homing as well as an end of travel flag ( a single flag for both positive and negative limits).

and the third part of the trilogy ( thank goodnes its not in four parts)




Sorry about this

and the planned interface electronics


EDIT..file too large

Ok smaller size file...

couldn't load this last one...

Chris,

Apologies...

This is a more complete drawing

Ought we move this to a separatetopic?
