General Mach Discussion / HOLD machine via LPT pin?

« on: October 22, 2009, 12:13:37 PM »

Hi!
Tried to do search, but many possibilities to write the question gives none results.

So, in my design, tool is not always ready to do it's job. I know when it is ready or not and I have a swtich output (OC, relay doesn't matter in this case). How I can hold the machine in exactly current position until the tool be ready? I mean, not before next line, just right now. This should be done via input LPT pin. eStop doesn't suits of course.

Something ready for use?

General Mach Discussion / Rotary axis, motor tuning calculation

« on: September 03, 2009, 11:45:57 AM »

Hi!
Again a question about my A-axis. In motor tuning configuration screen I can add only steps per mm/inch (depends of the native units). So, I need pure degrees for A-axis. I have 1600 steps per revolution in current case. What should be the digit?
By some tests I find something like 0.55, but this is not precise. Also I want to use all 1600 steps in 360 degrees motion. With another words, 0.225 of degree should be selectable.

Please support me with correct calculation, which covers these needs.
