Re: [Emc-users] writing a new device driver

2007-03-11 Thread Manfredi Leto

The first is how to make a new configuration file visible when first
starting the emc script (./emc) in the configuration browser.  I copied the
standard stepper files (under the configs/stepper directory) into a new
directory configs/myConfig, but they are not visible.


if you copy a configuration file in the /home/../emc2/configs it will be 
available in the configuration browser without changing other things. EMC2.1 
should ask if you want to copy a sample configuration file in your home 
directory in order to be able to modify it.
If you want it in your own directory, you can add the directoryt in the path 
that you find in the emc script. But, for my experience, when you modify the 
script, it will be changed every time you make an upgrade for a new release 
of emc2, so it is a bit annoying to re-modify it every time.

regards,

Manfredi

 What all does the G-rex do?

There is no emc driver for the g-rex, so exactly what it does is
immaterial.

 The second question is how to compile a new driver.  For example if I
copy
 the hal_parport.c under src/hal/drivers directory into a new file called
 myDevice.c, how do I compile it and make it visible to the system.

The easiest way is with 'comp':
   comp --install mydevice.c

if you want to make it a part of the emc source tree, you add lines for
it in src/Makefile -- just look for the existing lines about
hal_parport.

[Emc-users] EMC 2.1.2 released

2007-03-11 Thread Chris Radek
Tonight EMC 2.1.2 is released with the following changes:

 * change axis.N.homing from HAL parameter to pin, to allow external logic
 * add russian translation of AXIS
 * fix problem with tolerance mode and angular moves
 * fix g28 and g30 to go to the saved position (which is saved in native
   machine units) regardless of the currently-active gcode units
 * fix unreliable reading of encoders and digital inputs on pluto-servo board
 * fix intermittent error IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
   'sim.var'
 * fix a pinout problem in the stepper-xyza sample configuration
 * a few minor documentation updates
 * in AXIS, entries on the File menu were enabled/disabled incorrectly.
   Now when a program is running, Exit is disabled but Properties is enabled.
 * several fixes to tool compensation related to single-arc entry moves,
   relative (G91) mode, exit moves, use of sticky words from previous lines
 * fix problem with MACHINE ON which was left active on shutdown
 * fix circular move task issue debug output
 * allow configuration of the max linear jog speed in AXIS with
   [TRAJ]MAX_LINEAR_JOG_SPEED - especially useful for mixed linear+rotary
 * fix interactions between jogwheel, keyboard jogging, and homing
 * add jogwheel support to 'max' 4-axis sample configuration

Ubuntu users can upgrade using the update manager as usual; CVS
users can get this release by checking out the RELEASE_2_1_2 tag.

Your faithful release manager,
Chris
