Fireball V90 EMC2 Configuration Files
I am making my configuration files available to help anyone trying to get their Fireball V90 machine working with EMC2. The configuration is for inches, 1/4 microstepping and the HobbyCNC Pro board.
To use these files you will first need to perform the latency test and work out the base period for your PC. Open the Stepconf wizard and choose to update this configuration. Put the latency test results into the Stepconf wizard. Then you must double-check the pin configurations for your board if you are not using the same one I am. These changes are easy to make. I recommend 1/4 microstepping as it gives smooth operation without much reduction in power and speed.
Note that Stepconf will tell you that the INI file has changed since the configuration was generated. I changed the DEFAULT_VELOCITY to 0.9 so the default jogging speed is a bit faster.
Download Fireball V90 EMC2 Configuration Files.
Update: Now with Stepconf generated config files.

Configuring EMC2 For Three Axis Stepper Motor Control
about 16 years ago - 2 comments
There are many ways to configure EMC2, suiting many different uses. But perhaps the most common is control of three stepper motors. This post describes the process I went through to configure EMC2 for my CNC machine, which is a Fireball CNC V90. These steps may not match exactly your needs, but perhaps it will…
First Steps With EMC2 and AXIS
about 16 years ago - Comments Off on First Steps With EMC2 and AXIS
This post describes the first steps after running EMC2 with the AXIS interface for the first time. To start choose AXIS -> Sim from the menu after starting EMC2. Starting the attached CNC machine (in this case a simulation) requires two steps. First the emergency stop (e-stop) must be turned off. Then power must be…

Hi, Andy. I’m getting a 404 file not found error on your zip file. Could you take a look?
Thanks->

Should be fixed now.

Don’t belive you have all the files needed, when I try and use it terminates wih an error. Also when using the wizard it creates a config file above the Dir with an ext of *.stepconf which is needed to edit the file. I don’t see this file in down load either. Thanks, Joe…

Updated to use Stepconf files. The previous files were generated before Stepconf was available.
