BOXFORD 125 TLC Tool changer LINUXCNC

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Firstly you are not saying how many axis you have (a lathe normally has two) but can have more.

It would help if you downloaded the hal and ini files. This line (/Lathe_Orac.hal:87: parameter or pin ‘stepgen.3.positio-scale’ not found) is telling you to look in the hal file at line 87.

setp stepgen.3.position-scale [AXIS_3]SCALE This bit [AXIS_3]SCALE is asking the ini file what the scales is ie. look in the ini file to see if you have this part in there.

Have you changed the AXIS No. in the ini file? ie. from two to three or three to four etc.

"I don’t understand this part:

### must unlink these 2 to access stepgen.3.position-cmd
### and prevent continual following errors if motor-pos-fb left linked
#net apos-cmd axis.3.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.3.position-cmd
#net apos-fb stepgen.3.position-fb => axis.3.motor-pos-fb"

The # signs just means that those lines are not being used. ie commented out.


I see that you have posted this up on the linuxcnc forum. I think you might get better answers over there.
