Re: [Emc-users] Non EMC: Advice from Cold Climates
Like others have said the pipe is too near the surface. There also maybe a leak from the pipe or surrounding environment allowing thermal transfer. To cure look for those clues between the dwelling and the supply leave any taps open and heat the ground with a roofers torch burner quite cheap from machine mart.

Gentlemen, I have the drives all working. I cannot get joint_2 to move. The control will not send any commands to the axis drive. I have looked for changes/errors. I did not change anything regarding joint_2 while working with the non-functioning drives. I have swapped drives between joint_1 and joint_2 with the result of joint_1 functioning and joint_2 non-functioning before and after the swaps. I did a 'git pull' and saw the update did not get the genserkins.c. I then realized I lost the joint_2 functionality after a prior git pull. I think the problem may involve the generskins modification that was made during the initial configuration. What was the reason for the change? Was it because the carried arm (forearm) does not change orientation to the base during motion of the carrying arm (upper arm). I will be comparing genserkins.c files to try to figure this out. A gentle nudge in the direction of a solution will be greatly appreciated. :) thanks Stuart -- dos centavos -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Re: [Emc-users] american robot
(Sorry for the top posting - I don't know how to tell my phone to do it right :) ) The change Chris made basically compensated joint 2 for the rotation of joint 1. This was necessary because the lower arm doesn't rotate when the upper arm does, which is what genserkins expects. Regardless of whether that change is there, you should still get motion on both arms. The updates to genserkins.[ch] allow you to unrotate a joint (relative to the previous joint) by setting a new HAL parameter (unrotate) to +-1 (other values are also possible, but are far less likely to be useful). As for a solution - have you used halscope to be sure that there are no commands being output from motion? They may be getting lost somewhere in HAL, not going to the right output, etc. - Steve Stuart Stevenson stus...@gmail.com wrote: Gentlemen, I have the drives all working.

When checking joint_2 drive you really need to swap joint_2 with joint_1 instead of joint_0 with joint_1. Hal config showed no glaring problems but realizing the count starts at the bottom right instead of the bottom left caused me to recognize I was swapping a good drive on a working axis with a good drive on a working axis and then checking the non-working axis again (and again - and again - ad nauseum). a smoked fuse in the non-working drive should be a simple fix.

[Emc-users] Rotary axis in EMC2
