    And leave out the wiggly shot of the Mach 3 screen! Unless the video is about Mach 3 itself of course. If there is a point for showing the screen, at least tell us what we should be looking at.

    I'll have to leave that to someone else. If no one chimes in, you can google on Galil as an example of a manufacturer that makes motion controllers. Yaskawa also has them. As do others.

    But first you need to make a spring loaded chuck key to keep you from taking photos of such a flagrant safety violation! :nono:

    Relax, I'm not really a safety nazi.

    I have searched some more, and it does look do-able. Unfortunately, EMC2 requires a great deal more of my time to learn just how to do it. It's a simple menu selection in Mach 3.

  12. Can EMC2 control lathe spindle with Step/Direction Drive?

    I have seen where Mach3 can control a lathe's step/direction servo or stepper spindle drive. I have not seen that EMC2 is set up to do it. I know, I know about running a velocity mode drive with an...

    Look for any F codes in the G-Code file you are trying to run. For example, F10.0 used in the code will set the feedrate to 10.0 units per min. If you have set up for metric it will mean 10.0 mm per...

    I thought the code was pretty clear in the SGDA manual I referenced in your other thread. No idea if it is settable, but readable yes.

    Well, well, well. I did a little searching and found your motor codes mentioned. I'm not sure how this works for sure, so I'll leave that to those interested. It does say it is for monitoring but?
