Greetings; Yes, I suppose this should be a function of loading a full described tool.
I'm trying to visualize, with emc running without motor power, what the encoder wheel I am playing with will actually look like by making it use a path line in the backplot for the metal being cut away, so that the holes/slots for the opto stuff can be visually judged for the best duty cycle, preferably 50%, out of the opto stuff. Since the opto has a finite sized emitter/detector pair, claimed to be .060" in the pdf on these HOA2001's, and my milling bit is .0625 +- whatever bend as all cuts are dig cuts. it follows that the slot being cut s/b .090" or so wide in the direction of the slot travel. Is there a g-code I can add that will do a 1/16" wide paint line preferably only when z is below zero height? Next: This encoder disk, because of diameter restrictions by the headstock cover, will only have 45 slots which means at full 2500 rpms, there will be new data from the detector pair running in quadrature, every 133 microseconds, or every 2 degrees. My current .ini base_period values are in the 35-40 u- second range. Is there enough processing time on a 1400mhz athlon to process that w/o any skips? Or would this be a case where a longer base period would actually give it more time to keep up? Lastly, after bitching because ssh -Y didn't work for x stuffs like running emc from this machine, I tried it again tonight for the first time in several months and its working flawlessly. Other than an updated nvidia driver here, I have NDI what may have changed, but its certainly a nice Christmas present.
