Right now the head is mounted, but, I've not made the photograph. I'll try to put it in a couple of days The hexagon at the base is intended to put a table to fix the piece, but we have not still designed/made it.

Ohh, you may have to be "homed". Are you homing all your axes? If not, then EMC can't figure out whether you are within the software limits on the axes. (I'm not sure why it affects the touch-off function, as that doesn't involve motion, but I think there is a problem if you have not homed.)

I think it reinterprets the characters in the window after every change, not just when you click the enter button. So, when you are in the middle of wiping out an old number and putting in a new one, you could have something that has more than one decimal point, a space between digits, a minus sign in the middle, whatever, that can't be interpreted as a valid number. Glad that fixed it, Chris and Jeff write pretty bulletproof code, so I would have been surprised that a bad entry would actually kill Axis.

Re: [Emc-users] Touch Off
Jon, Bad entry didn't kill AXIS, I just closed the app and reopened it as a test. You are correct the text box appears to evaluate each entry so non numeric characters evaluate to an error. I noted tonight that if I typed in a space I got the error, I then typed a zero and the form evaluated the entry as a numeric of value zero. So I last night there must have been some character left in the text box which caused the error, I think that, as stated earlier, using the end key and backspace key is the way to clear things.

[Emc-users] User Interface
Hi, I have been playing around with the different user interfaces for EMC and have a couple of questions. I was initially interested in using the "MINI" interface but I would like to be able to backplot my code before actually running the machine - is this possible? My other question about the "MINI" interface is , can it be used for lathe work i.e threading??? If my understanding is correct, "AXIS" seems to be the only one that will allow lathe threading, but is there a way to edit the tool table via the user interface, or do you have to manually open the tool file and edit it there? Also with "AXIS" is there a way to set & store Work Offsets other than G54? Thanks again Andrew - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Mini does not have a preview plot feature. AXIS is the only GUI with this capability. > My other question about > the "MINI" interface is , can it be used for lathe work i.e threading??? Yes, the dialect of g-code is exactly the same no matter which GUI you use. > is there a way to edit the tool table > via the user interface, or do you have to manually open the tool file > and edit it there? AXIS doesn't have a tool-table editor built in. In the upcoming EMC 2.2 it will be possible to re-load the tool table and open an external tool editor (such as the gedit text editor) from the menu in AXIS. > Also with "AXIS" is there a way to set & store Work > Offsets other than G54? In the upcoming EMC 2.2 it will be possible to set any G5x coordinate system offset using Touch Off. In 2.1.7 and earlier, only the G54 coordinate system can be set this way.

I just ran into this last week when rerunning the same code with slightly different diameters entered in the tool table to correct for tool deflection, and it was just the slightest bit cumbersome. With TkEMC, you can always bring up the tool table from the GUI and at least verify the desired values have indeed been loaded into EMC. You can't do that with Axis - you can verify the desired values are in the FILE, but not loaded into EMC (or am I wrong?) > >>Also with "AXIS" is there a way to set & store Work >>Offsets other than G54? > > > In the upcoming EMC 2.2 it will be possible to set any G5x coordinate > system offset using Touch Off.

In EMC 2.2, you could also use G41.1/G42.1 for this kind of operation; it might be a bit more natural to edit the gcode instead of the tool table. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/main/index.html#563 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Emc-users] Mazak pulsecoder
Hi, My Mazak has the orginal pulsecoder like the one that came off the front panel of the Mazak at Galesburg. Since I have unused encoder channels on my STG I'm wondering what hoops I have to jump thru to get it to drive jogging? I did take a quick look at the wiki but since my setup will be different than the Galesburg one it really cannot be used for an example; at least by me. :-( Dave - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Emc-users] Install to a USB Key (Peter Todd)
How about using UnionFS (http://www.filesystems.org/project-unionfs.html) for this purpose? This would allow for a RO root system with some directories in a ramdisk, as well as a /home directory on the USB drive. Check out Slax, Morphix or even Knoppix (I believe) for an example of this. This way, we can probably build a reliable and fairly speedy system at the cost of a $25 stick. Just my EUR. 0.02, Marc. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Jogging specifically is hooked up to the motioncontroller in EMC, but some other things you might want to do from a hardware front panel require halui.
