This configuration step is intended for basic stepper machines.
|
|
You can have either standard pinout (LinuxCNC style) or xylotex pinout, by including either one of those 2 .hal files. Certainly you could make a new one which would suit your own custom cabling.

|
|
There are 3 ini files, one for inch setups (stepper_in.ini) and one for metric setups (stepper_mm.ini). Additionally there is one (sim_inch.ini) which doesn't output steps to the parport but to the PC speaker. That way you can "hear" if it's running OK.

|
|
|
* ini files
|
|
|
|
-- stepper_inch.ini - inch setup for a stepper machine
|
|
|
|
-- stepper_mm.ini - metric setup for a stepper machine
|
|
|
|
-- sim_inch.ini - inch setup with steps routed to the PC speaker instead of parport
|
|
|
|
* nml files
|
|
|
|
-- it uses a default nml file (found in configs/common/linuxcnc.nml)
|
|
|
|
* hal files
|
|
|
|
-- it uses a default stepper hal file (configs/common/core_stepper.hal)
|
|
|
|
-- standard_pinout.hal - include this from the ini to get you a standard pinout
|
|
|
|
-- xylotex_pinout.hal - include this from the ini to get you a xylotex pinout (e.g. step/dir are inverted)
|
|
|
|
-- sim_pinout.hal - include this in your ini to route step/dir signals to the PC speaker not parport
