[Emc-users] My New D519MO Motherboard does not load EMC 10.04.
Hi All; The EMC Errors File is probably telling me what is wrong but I'm on too many shifts today to figure it out.

[Emc-users] EMC aborting on startup with Segmentation Fault
I've run into a problem that's driving me right over the edge!! I upgraded my desktop system to Ubuntu 10.04 (from 8.04). This is the system I use to prepare g-code for my CNC machine's control PC. I use only EMC2 simulation mode on my desktop to verify everything appears correct before I take the code down to the actual CNC machine. I used GIT to retrieve version 2.4.4 and compiled it with the simulation flag set. When I start EMC2 using SIM - AXIS, it aborts immediately with the following message: /home/user/emc2/scripts/emc: line 654: 9590 Segmentation fault $EMCDISPLAY -ini "$INIFILE" $EMCDISPLAYARGS $EXTRA_ARGS DMESG Output = [10400.374828] __ratelimit: 15 callbacks suppressed [10400.374832] axis[2680]: segfault at 4 ip 00c5def6 sp bf811490 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[bf8000+a7000] The problem appears to be related to display, most likely AXIS, since other modes appear to work fine (i.e. servo simulation). Don't know if this is relevant, but my system uses two displays driven by a Radeon VE card. I AM STUMPED!! I've searched the forums and found reference to errors very much like this, but didn't find the solution posted anywhere!! If anyone has any suggestions at all, I'd be most grateful!

Re: [Emc-users] iocontrol user-enable-out
Some more observations: Display mode of "Emergency button" is controlled by iocontrol.0.enable-in and nothing else. iocontrol.0.user-enable-out is controlled by pushing the GUI "Emergency button" in a (IMHO) backwards way, if enable-in is true pushing "Emergency button" brings enable-out false (well, OK on that) if enable-in is true pushing "Emergency button" again will not bring enable-out true (this is not logical to me) if enable-in is false pushing "Emergency button" brings enable-out true (this is not logical to me) Also this is not reflected in button grapic. I would like to have enable-out true if and only if enable-in is true and "GUI Emergency button" not pushed.

I have to agree with Igor here. Emc runs as well from a user account as it
does from root, permissions problems are, with all due respect, usually
caused by mucking about in the user account while root. We call that
PEBKAC.
AND the machine being on the internet has no apparent/detectable by me
effect on latency. I have had konversation going and logging the emc
channel, browsed the web (usually to the emc wiki pages for coding help)
and or edited gcode, all while my machine was busy carving something. And
its only an XP1400 runing at 1600 mhz, with half a gig of ram.

Re: [Emc-users] M101 - M199 problem
I would like to respectfully disagree.
I do not see why one needs to run as root just to solve basic
permissions or path issues.
And I also do not see why being on the internet is going to ruin latency.
Additionally, being on the internet would enable one to get system updates.

Hi
I think you are heading down the classic ladder path to achieve your
overall end, but I don't recall seeing your having solved the initial
problem of executing scripts etc from a M1XX command.
I had some problems getting hal commands to run within a bash script
called from M1xx, a while ago.
First off, unless your controller computer is permanently connected to
the internet, (why would you, hardly going to improve latency) just log
in as, install as and run everything as root.
Sorts out all the problems with permissions, ownership etc. The
'middle-man will get you' paranoids will argue against it, but for a
stand alone computer, I really do not see the problem.
Obviously ensure that M1xx file is in the path pointed to by
PROGRAM_PREFIX in your .ini file
If somehow you have 2 entries in your .ini file, EMC only reads the
first one.
Wonder how I found that out!
If you launch EMC as child process within a terminal (ie without the
trailing & ) you will get stderr etc from emc and any processes launched
from within it, eg bash or your C program.
It was seeing this and using debug outputs, that enabled me to discover
that EMC reads M101 P3 and then passes 3.00 instead of just 3, to my
M101 script!
As an example the below M101 script uses calls to halcmd to adjust the
scale and stepgen associated with my spindle, to account for pulley changes.

Re: [Emc-users] Parport questions
Kirk, I got the bash script working just in time to move on to using classic ladder... :) It turned out to be the parport.1.pin-2-out vs parport.1.pin-02-out 02 fixed it. I got a ladder program in but not working yet. I am not sure what is going on. I think it is something I am missing in the hal file. I am able to get my I/O pins assigned but I am having a weird result. If I go into hal meter I can locate the pins and in the case of the iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => classicladder.0.s32in-00 I am able to view the data change on both when I issue a T gcode as I expected. I am not having any luck getting the watch window to work however in CL. I believe I should be seeing the integer on %IW0 but when I enter that in the watch window I get nothing... I am thinking I have something wrong in in my assignment. I had to break away from it for a while and I won't be able to look at it again until this evening. I will let you know how I make out. The wsum method you described looks clean and to the point. I was originally hoping that was possible but did not see the wsum I will probably give that a try as well.
