well, i don't think it's that old if i'm not wrong, then it's this one: # MD5 checksums generated by MD5summer (http://www.md5summer.org) # Generated 10.07.2008 13:26:39 d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c *ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
i've downloaded the newest ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj07-i386.iso but cannot install. my controller has 256MB but the installer still denies with a memory error... I've been thinking on trying the emc2.2.2-1-ubuntu6.06-desktop-i386.iso as a alternative. could it be that my z-axis is too slow for a certain movement? i think the errors happen on g0 commands after about 40mm of movement. if there is a time constraint, the software could trap into a timeout and answer with a following error - but, to be hounest, this sounds ridiculous to me... on the other hand, can some high interrupt latency cause the problem? i know i have one with that epia-v motherboard - but as long as i don't move any windows... i've a new (old) vga card ready, this will be my next test for the latency problem tomorrow. rgs andy ----Ursprüngliche Nachricht---- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: 07.08.2008 23:35 An: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"<[email protected]> Betreff: Re: [Emc-users] Following error joint 2 I could be wrong, but I think the BDI is a REALLY old version of emc. I would try to download the newest version and go through the stepconf wizard to set up your pins on the parport, and then try running the g code again.
