Gmax-CNCtoolkit script & EMC2
Im planing to use this combination and was wondering if anyone else is using this combination, and if so how is it working out for you?
|
I haven't used gmax, but emc2 works well.

Thanks Jeff,
How easy to set up is it and are you running a VFD and spindle of it? |
No, I use a router. By all accounts it's more difficult to set up than Mach, but it's very flexible.
I had zero previous experience with motion control before installing this, but I use it in its most rudimentary way. Lots of people are using EMC2 for spindle control, z-plates and touch probing, but it's not plug and play. Gmax suggests that you intend to use a 4th axis? |
Gmax from what I can gather will handle extra axis which i eventually want to do but another good thing for me is it runs off the 3d max interface and it's also free.
Thanks for the advice on e=mc2 as you say it's not plug and play but the ability to use it for different applications is an atraction for me. I like these open source programs as they are a bit like the mechmate experience. |
