[Emc-users] Workshop / EMC fest
Is there any news to report on a new venue to replace to CNC Workshop and/or EMC fest? I'd like to see a replacement for the full range of the CNC Workshop, but if we are only going to have an EMC Fest, I'd like to attend that. If the CNC Workshop doesn't happen, then I'm going to attend the NAMES show for sure. Have to start planning, it is only 6 weeks away!

Nobody is going to be able to make a full Workshop replacement this year because there's no longer time. I also haven't heard any talk of anyone wanting to do it. So I propose we narrow our goals to something EMC-specific. That's my interest anyway. We've had several offers of venues for an EMC meeting. I think Stuart's is the most appealing because of interesting ongoing projects there. So that's my preference.

I live in the Toledo area and certainly wouldn't mind seeing it held in this neck of the woods. A² is only a 45 min drive from Toledo. I don't have any space to offer (here or in A²) for a gathering (or time to commit to planning, etc.) but would like to attend some CNC workshop/EMC fest sessions, etc. I will be attending NAMES as well Jon. I have a couple ideas for a workshop/fest location that I could work on softening up for next year.

I'm planning on going to NAMES, too, and I think Steve Stallings is also going there. So, maybe we need a breather between April 17 and the EMC fest. Probably June would be fine, though, if people were already reserving some time that month. As for projects, I will have my commutation converter for Panasonic brushless motors, and hopefully it can be adapted to other motors, too. Also, I'd like to work on a low-pass filter on the D term of the PID, to try to get rid of the 1/2 F sampling jitter. (Yes, a surprisingly sparse offering for a whole year) Jon -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
