Hi Gads
Thanks for helping. I understand the principle of charge pumps and how to wire up my controller board given a charge-pump input. What I can't find is anything specific to EMC. Suppose I have set up (say) parallel pin 1 as the charge-pump output pin in EMC, then what appears at pin 1? Is it 15 kHz, 12kHz? And what amplitude? Or must I also tell EMC what signal to send to the pin? The documentation doesn't seem to provide the answer.
I was looking for something like the following, found in "Setting up a basic three axis milling machine", in the Mach3 documentation:
About halfway down there is a signal called Charge Pump. Put a 1 in the Port # and the Pin # to which the circuit is connected, in this example pin #1. Then make sure the function is enabled (a green checkmark in the Enabled column). Check that no other output signals are enabled. Now, when ever Mach3 is running AND is not in E-stop mode there will be 12.5kHz square wave on pin 1 of the parallel port.
Any clues?
Regards
