Re: [Emc-users] emc chess pawn part program run request
Rob I removed the % at the bottom of the program and it still acts like it is still loading something . How do you determine that? Once it's loaded there won't be anything different with AXIS, except you'll have the file in the preview. To run it, you just push the Run button on the top menu. It is running version 2.2 . Thanks Ron That should be ok. Did you make sure you are using a lathe config? Try the sample config sim/lathe.ini, and open with that. The display should only have XZ.

Hi ron what ray means if if u wrtie a file on windows say and save it from wordpad it will put very funny odd things on end of line (inviable to reader, but open it in a true text editor u will see the carriage returns and new line markers as they are called) but if u made it on EMC machine using Gedit or likes it should be pretty well safe to use and give no problems. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Emc-users] Realistic spindle encoder count for parallel port?
If this is just for threading then you could run in counter mode. That would effectively divide the pulse rate by 4. If you still have problems then a simple binary counter such as a 74HCT93 can be used to divide one channel (counter mode only uses one channel) by 2,4,8 or whatever. 74HC series logic chips only cost a few pence. If you want I can send you a circuit diagram of how to connect up a 74HCT93. It is dead simple and can even be made by simply soldering a few wires directly to the chip.

On Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:03:54 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: Can you use both encoders at once? High resolution for low speed and Low resolution for high speed? You could also do this with the high resolution encoder and a gizmo like the USdigital divider, only with 2 selectable divide ratios run from a single I/O bit, say 1/1 and 1/64. This is easily do-able in a $ 1.20 CPLD A divider would work well, but I'm no programmer and wouldn't know where to start. If I can't find a simple solution it looks like I'll have to get another encoder. Would you need the index at high speeds? My normal working range is 600-1200 rpm. Most of my threading is done at 600-1000 rpm, depending on pitch. Steve Blackmore -- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Yep - only for threading, but in counter mode can EMC still make corrections for spindle speed variations? If you want I can send you a circuit diagram of how to connect up a 74HCT93.
