Contributed by - slomo More information by - cradek You can make your Xylotex board work with EMC1 by making a hardware or software change. To fix in software, edit emc/src/emcmot/emcmot.c and change #undef XYLOTEX to #define XYLOTEX, then rebuild. Otherwise, you have to rewire EMC's output to match the Xylotex: Emc expects step/dir pins as follows: pin 2 X direction pin 3 X step pin 4 Y direction pin 5 Y step pin 6 Z direction pin 7 Z step The xylotex expects the following: pin 2 X step pin 3 X direction pin 4 Y step pin 5 Y direction pin 6 Z step pin 7 Z direction Radio shack part # rs-232 serial jumper box from Radio Shack, part number 276-1403A This will allow you to switch the pins around so the xylotex will work with the EMC software Solder the input side to the corrosponding output pin: input / output - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - solder 1 to 1 solder 2 to 3 solder 3 to 2 solder 4 to 5 solder 5 to 4 solder 6 to 7 solder 7 to 6 The remaining are soldered straight thru. |
