Hey everybody- Thanks, Jon et al for setting me straight concerning the whole G54 offset thing. The wiki page was very helpful. I had no idea that offsets like this would persist from instance to instance of EMC2...
On to the next question! I'd kind of like to be able to use M3,4 / M5 to turn the spindle off via a solid state relay. I have a couple of spare output pins on my parallel port interface card (like, say pin 14) and my first shot at HALing it up didn't quite do it. Here's what I added to core_stepper.hal: newsig spindle_on bit linksp spindle_on <= motion.spindle-on linksp spindle_on => parport.0.pin-14-out which, unfortunately, isn't working. I've been through the HAL docs a few times, and a lot of it makes sense but I guess not enough (so far) to get this done. If anyone could suggest a modification that would help me out I would appreciate it. [btw, someday I would really like to meet some of the brains behind this whole operation...when and where do you guys get together? I would definitely be up for buying a few rounds in honor of all the hard work that obviously goes into EMC etc.] tnx, Pat =================== Patrick Ferrick Town of Webb School Main Street Old Forge, NY 13420 (315) 369-3222 (315) 369-6216 (fax) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
