Re: [Emc-users] Halscope Settings

By default halscope saves a hidden file ".scope.cfg" in the current directory. The next time you run halscope from that directory it loads the settings (well most of them at least) from that file. On Sun, 14 Oct 2007, Kirk Wallace wrote: > Is there a way to save Halscope channel settings and

[Emc-users] HNC Lathe Spindle Sync Motion

Last week I made my first thread on my lathe. It didn't take long to get good threads, but I wasn't happy with the PID tuning, so I have been doing battle with that. After some improvement, I tried another thread and got a pronounced surge motion during the threading passes. This happened last week

Re: [Emc-users] Pluto Alternatives

The relationship between the FPGA pins, the parport, and the pin headers is documented in "pluto_servo.pin" in CVS. There are some one-transistor inverters for some of the parport signals. There's clock source (40MHz) and voltage regulation (there, you'd be better off following the datasheet than

Re: [Emc-users] Pluto Alternatives

the pluto-p does not look very complicated. you could probably reverse engineer one from the docs or with help from another pluto owner. then it would be a simple matter of making the circuit board and running emc as usual. On Sun, 14 Oct 2007, Sebastian Kuzminsky wrote: > Am I the only one

Re: [Emc-users] Pluto Alternatives

Hi Kirk. Mesa Electronics should be coming out with their 7I43 soon, which will be a reasonable alternative. It's listed as a USB-connected device, but it will be USB and/or parallel. Last I knew, Pete was working on getting it so you could use USB for power, and parallel for data (or USB fo
