    Question How run pluto step on emc2 ?

    Hi,

    I don't understand which is the procedure to install pluto-step in emc2. The examples of emc2 with pluto-servo functions, but I want to use pluto-step. And I don't understand the procedure to include pluto-step in emc2.
    Can somebody explain me the procedure?

    Thanks,

    Stephane

    and

    make sure to take note of 'speedrange' you need to set it for what range will work with your machine. The limited space in the pluto required this trade-off

    you can read a bit about the history of it here

    Talking

    Thank you very much sam !

    I am a newbie with emc2. And it's not very easy at the beginning...

    Yes, I read the limitations of the pluto-step. But I think that must go with my machine.

    Thanks again
