Thank you once again! I will try scale and harmonic_scale and see what happens. Which .ini file should I make the change in?
I am having some trouble with the stepper motor. It will turn in one direction but not the other. I am not yet sure why. If it becomes necessary to check or change, how do you verify the assignment of output 3 to step and output 4 to direction? Where are these values assigned?
Unless you want it to apply to all mill configs you would do the one that's specific to your will . example tormach_440_specific.ini and add the config items you want to override the base config tormach_mill_base.ini
the motor config for the pins would be in the hal file.
look for a line like this in the spefic.ini file for which hal file
[HAL]
HALFILE = tormach_mill_mesa_440.hal << you would edit this one
So I searched for the hal file and found it. I’m unfamiliar with Linux so I still don’t know in which directory it exists. When I look at the file, there’s a section that describes the 5i25 pin outs. It shows A step and A direction both on channel 3. That would explain the weird behavior I’m seeing. So I have no idea how to change A direction to channel 4. I believe that’s what I need to do. I could change it here in the hal file but I believe the # sign means it’s just comments so that shouldn’t fix anything by changing it here.
They are normally in your home folder, linuxcnc,configs,in a folder of the machine name. You can copy and name it hal.bak, for backup before experimenting
