[Emc-users] Hal Implementation of a different enable

2007-03-05 Thread Jack Ensor
The implementation of the enable in the stepper example, causes it to come on
when the machine is turned on. I need an enable only while a position is being
commanded and then subsequently removed.

My stepper motor driver which uses a quadrature input, needs a special enable
signal.  The driver itself implements a holding current when the quadrature
input stops changing.  This is triggered about 5 seconds after the enable is
removed. 

So the question is how can this type of enable be generated by hal. (Starts with
motion command and ends subsequently).

2007-03-05 Thread Alex Joni
there is a motion.in-position which you might want to use.
That pin is true while the machine is not moving.

Re: [Emc-users] Lap Top IBM R51 with EMC2

2007-03-05 Thread Jeff Epler

Parallel port no longer works in EMC 2.0.1 or later (emc starts but
motors don't turn) Some users have reported that in EMC 2.0.1, EMC
appears to start, but no signals ever appear on the parallel port (the
motors don't turn).

To fix this problem, upgrade to EMC 2.0.3 or newer. Then, add the
command

 loadrt probe_parport

before the line loading hal_parport in your hal file.

In EMC 2.0.1, the Linux parallel port driver must be completely disabled
for EMC's hal_parport driver to load. However, as we learned after the
release of 2.0.1, this disabled certain parallel ports that are "PNP"
(plug and play) devices. The new probe_parport realtime module performs
the probing for one type of PNP port. If probe_parport doesn't allow
your card to work, please contact the EMC developers.

Re: [Emc-users] Lap Top IBM R51 with EMC2

2007-03-05 Thread John Prentice
Have you checked the port address? My R51 did not use 0x378 by default.

Be interesting to see how you get on then. I had problems with Mach3 on R51 as 
the power control features under Windows were much too clever.  EMC2 might go 
well as it is a nice laptop.
