Re: [Emc-users] Touchy -- changing the nc_files suffic from .ngc to .tap?
You are correct, however when I installed 2.4~pre the touchy python scripts all had a .pyc extension which as I understand it means they have been compiled. I am new to python and have not learned as much of it as I would like to.

Re: [Emc-users] Touchy -- changing the nc_files suffic from .ngc to .tap?
Hi John, >>the touchy python scripts all had a .pyc extension Are you sure about that?? I have 2.5_pre loaded and I searched and all that is on this version is touchy.py, no touchy.pyc file. If you have .pyc files only in 2.4_pre, you could do another git clone to a different directory. The git clone will default to the master "checkout", which I believe is still the 2.5_pre version.Just search through the newly created directory for touchy.py and it should pop right up. I've been learning Python, and so far I really like it... consistent, powerful, and compact."Neat freaks" must love this language with the required indentation etc.. There is a lot of Python info on the web, but I checked a book out of the local library that is really good."Learning Python", written by Mark Lutz. It is a well organized book.

[Emc-users] touchy question
Gentlemen, Where would I change the spindle increment amount of the increase/decrease buttons? The G&L has 4 speeds with max speeds of 60, 150, 375, 970. The 100 rpm change per button push would be nicer if it was 10 rpm. I have looked for 100 in all the files in the touchy directory. I found none that looked related. thanks Stuart -- dos centavos -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Emc-users] Touchy -- changing the nc_files suffic from .ngc to .tap?
John, That doesn't sound like the correct location of touchy files for an EMC2 installation. There are at least two different ways to "install EMC2". You can install it as a regularly installed program similar to how other programs are installed, or you can install them as a run-in-place application which means that they run within a specified directory. (Someone jump in here if I am wrong about something.. ) In order to get the development "master" version of EMC2 which is the 2.5_pre version ( as of a couple of days ago at least ... ), you need to use Git to download the EMC2 source code and install the software, preferably as a run in place installation which will keep everything in one specified directory. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#Getting_the_source_with_git Line 2.2 The Wiki has good instructions on how to do this. After you install Git, you run the Git Clone command to pull the Git repository off the EMC2 server and put an cloned copy of it on your hard drive in the specified user directory.. emc2-dev per the instructions.. Note that after you do the Git Clone, the master version 2.5_pre is already exposed in your emc2-dev directory.No need to change branches etc.Compile it according to the instructions. Make sure to set the environment also..Note that this is the current development master and it can have bugs in it.. more so typically than the released versions like 2.3.5.But 2.3.5 does not have Touchy in it.

Re: [Emc-users] touchy question
The "100" value is hardcoded in emc/motion/command.c. FWIW I disagree
with the comments and think that the value should probably come all the
way from NML, not from HAL. But either way, you can get what you want by
changing the hard-coded 100 to a different value.
1500 case EMCMOT_SPINDLE_INCREASE:
1501 rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_DBG, "SPINDLE_INCREASE");
1502 if (emcmotStatus->spindle.speed > 0) {
1503 emcmotStatus->spindle.speed += 100; //FIXME - make the
step a HAL parameter
1504 } else if (emcmotStatus->spindle.speed < 0) {
1505 emcmotStatus->spindle.speed -= 100;
1506 }
1507 break;
1508
1509 case EMCMOT_SPINDLE_DECREASE:
1510 rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_DBG, "SPINDLE_DECREASE");
1511 if (emcmotStatus->spindle.speed > 100) {
1512 emcmotStatus->spindle.speed -= 100; //FIXME - make the
step a HAL parameter
1513 } else if (emcmotStatus->spindle.speed < -100) {

1516 break;
