Hi,

I'm sure Chris will be along and sort you out with pncconf. I've only tried it a couple of times when Chris was first writing it so much has changed since then and I know enough to just hand code my configuration based on a sample configuration. Did you know you can test/tune your servos in Axis?

I do know if your running an installed version the firmware is somewhere in the root directory structure. Open up the Synaptic Package Manager and search for linuxcnc and it should bring up the installed files.

i would really like to know whats wrong with my hal file because if the pid tuning would work in axis im halfway there

i read about spaces some where in the wrong place but everytime i try something emc wont load This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.

try change the word alias to setp

that caused emc to fail to load line 20 of hal file (the first instance of the changed alias for setp)

arh the word pin is not needed either

i.e setp pid.0.Pgain pid.x.Pgain
