  • 300W spindle motor OR MC3D extruder

Configuring

  • Place the file upload:jy5300.stepconf in the ~/linuxcnc/configs directory
  • Start LinuxCNC Stepconf wizard
    • Open the jy5300.stepconf file
    • change parallel port setting according your PC
    • Save settings
  • Replace the ~/linuxcnc/configs/jy5300/custom.hal with upload:custom.hal
  • Place the upload:mb2hal.ini file in ~/linuxcnc/configs/jy5300/
  • Change the serial port setting in the mb2hal.ini file according your PC.
  • compile and install the ilowpass2 HAL component
    • open a terminal window
    • go to the directory where upload:ilowpass2.comp is located
    • Give the command: sudo comp --install ilowpass2.comp
