[Emc-users] Datron Pulsed Ethanol Mist
I stumbled on some Datron videos and noticed quit a few interesting features on their machines. One is the pulsed mist shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csfIUFsfe-0 at 5:00 and 6:05. My mist tip drips fluid after the mist turns off. I have been thinking I should make a tiny check valve for the nozzle, so that when my mist turns on, I get fluid instantly, instead of after a few seconds. Has anyone tried this? Another feature they claim is a cleaner work area. It doesn't seem to me that the mist will handle this, so there must be other air nozzles? If so, these machines must go through big bunches of air. Using an Ethanol based mist, must have a lot of hazard, corrosion and HR issues? I couldn't help but bob my head to the music, I hope no one could see.

[Emc-users] WITS (Wichita Industrial Trade Show)
Gentlemen, Look at this website - http://witshow.org/ Is there any interest in preparing a machine or three for this show? There would be a need for machine preparation. There would be a need for booth population. Provided there is enough interest I will provide the booth at the show and cover show expenses. I would need volunteers to assist in the machine prep and booth population. The booth is 10 feet X 10 feet so it would be easy to overfill. The MVJr would be a good candidate. It has a tool changer and could do rigid tapping and is a recognized brand. The Dahlih would be a good candidate. It would clean up and show well. I would try to have a B/P cnc to retrofit. This would show a stepper machine. I could see a Max 5 axis running demos. I could see a small gantry running demos. I could see a small plastic framed mill running demos. Other small machines (lathes and mills) would show well also. A robot handing out literature would be nice. We would have video of other machines running. This would be fun and I believe would generate an unbelievable amount of interest. We may even make the local TV news. :) Primetime here we come :) Stuart -- you can lead a person to knowledge but you cannot make him think -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Do I make a new hal.io file for my machine and that will override the pinout that is listed for P3 in the SVST8_4IM2.bit file? I would then call this new .io file from the .ini file?

HostMot2 is different from the original HostMot configuration in that all FPGA I/O pins are GPIO unless special functions (like encoders or PWM generators) are enabled. The original HostMot had only 4 axis of PWM and encoder signals on P2, leaving P3 and P4 as GPIO only. The SVST8_4IM2 HostMot2 configuration follows the same pinout for encoder and PWM connections as the original HostMot but adds the capability of 4 more encoders and PWM generator on P3. It also adds and index mask inputs and 4 hardware step generators on P4. Because these special functions are only enabled if requested, P3 can be left as GPIO just like the original HostMot configuration. For example if you invoke the HostMot2 driver with : loadrt hm2_pci config=firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4IM2.BIT num_encoders=4 num_pwmgens=4 num_stepgens=0 You will get a configuration that matches the pinout of the old HostMot firmware, (encoders and PWM generators 0 through 3 enabled on P2, but P3 and P4 left as GPIO) Note the there are further HAL file changes needed as the old HostMot driver hardwired the GPIO pins as 8 out and 16 in on P3 and P4 to match the 7I37 pinout.

Re: [Emc-users] Mesa-Hm2
Terry, The new m5i20 and Mesa drivers in general are much more flexible than the old m5i20 driver. If you look at configs/hm2-servos/5i20.ini, you will see the following at the beginning of the file: DRIVER=hm2_pci BOARD=5i20 CONFIG=firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=3 num_stepgens=0 This maps through to hm2-servo.hal, specifically the line: loadrt [HOSTMOT2](DRIVER) config=[HOSTMOT2](CONFIG) The first two lines are obvious. The third line is specifying how many of each component type to allocate. The P2 and P3 connectors are basically the same except for the channel number, because both can be interfaced with boards such as the m7i33 for encoders and analog reference signals for the servo amplifiers. Thus up to 8 motors and encoders can be handled by a single m5i20 if you have a configuration needing that many channels. If you have fewer, then the pins corresponding to the unused channels may be used as general purpose I/O. The sample configuration only uses 3 pwm generators and encoders, thus 6 pins are available on the P2 connector for gpio (25, 27, 33, 37, 41, 45) and all 24 pins on P3 are available for gpio. Each gpio may be configured as either input or output. After loading a configuration, do dmesg to see the actual pin assignments and pin names. Regards, Eric As I was looking through the SVST8_4IM2.pin file I saw that the connections for P2 are almost the same but P3 is alot different than the origional mi520.

The HostMot2 driver needs to have the pin directions setup to suit the daughtercard/application Note also that the actual GPIO numbers will change. Since the hm2 firmware allows all pins to be used as GPIO, the first connector (P2 I think) is GPIO 0-23, then 24-47 on P3, then 48-71 on P4. The GPIO number for a particular pin doesn't change when you enable or disable advanced functions, so the first I/O on P3 is gpio.24. Another artifact is that the inputs and outputs share the same set of numbers (ie, GPIO.24 is the first one on P3, regardless of whether it's set for input or output). I'm working on a converter to turn 5i20 configs into hm2_5i20 configs, but it's going pretty slowly. I'm not sure when (or if) it will be done. - Steve I would then call this new .io file from the .ini file?
