Re: [Emc-users] GOTO
I'm not sure how you do this in Mini, but both TkEmc and AXIS have a run from line feature. In AXIS: Select the line you want, and in the menu Machine-set run from line (or similar, writing from memory here). in TkEmc there's also an entry in the menu called set run line number or such. I'm sure that MINI has something similar..

Re: [Emc-users] GOTO
It has been a while since I've played with Mini but I believe that if you press the abort button while in auto mode, a set of restart buttons shows up alongside the display of the gcode file. You should see a red background on the line executing when the abort was pressed. If you press the forward or back button you will see a blue background on the line to be restarted from.

Re: [Emc-users] Driver for Winbond W83627hf GPIO?
Thomas Powderly wrote on 01/07/2007 22:13: Sven, you may want to boot the live cd and try the latency tests before going further. If the on board video can be defeated, try a pci video cardf and re-run the tests. Best of luck! let us know how it works, Last weekend, we finally got around to try and get everything working (and failed as far as EMC is concerned, but I will come back to that later - it just seems to be a configuration issue). The latency tests however looked quite fine. No overruns, no delays over 2ns (which is fine since we don't aim for BASE_PERIOD below 5). So at least it seems we don't need to replace the on-board video, which is good news. regards, Sven - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

It is a misconfiguration (possibly an undetected one) if the min limit is larger than the max limit. I agree with Chris - having a min limit that is higher than your max limit is simply bad configuration. EMC should probably complain about that. Regarding the jog reversal: I bet it reverses only continuous jogs (the normal jog while the key is pressed jogs), but not incremental jogs. That is because continuous jogs are implemented as jog toward the respective limit, and stop when the key is released. If the limit is on the wrong end of the axis, it will jog the wrong way. I bet you haven't homed your machine yet. With the limits backwards, your machine will always be outside of the limits, since you can't be above min and below max if max is less than min. Prior to homing soft limits are disabled, but as soon as you home the machine and the limits are activated, you will get a soft limit error. Fix your limit values ;-) Regards, John Kasunich - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

I agree with Chris - having a min limit that is higher than your max limit is simply bad configuration. EMC should probably complain about that. Yes, certainly bad configuration. I had unintentionally set the sign wrong, but was surprised at the change of direction nevertheless. I was pondering whether anything bad could arise from that. I guess not, unless you happened to have your jog rate set high.

That is because continuous jogs are implemented as jog toward the respective limit, and stop when the key is released. If the limit is on the wrong end of the axis, it will jog the wrong way. I bet you haven't homed your machine yet. Correct. In fact you can't home, it will head off in the wrong direction and hit the hard limit. With the limits backwards, your machine will always be outside of the limits, since you can't be above min and below max if max is less than min. Prior to homing soft limits are disabled, but as soon as you home the machine and the limits are activated, you will get a soft limit error.
