[Emc-users] Can gladevcp apps be run without AXIS, relying only on HAL ?
Hi, I wonder if gladevcp application can be started up just from a HAL session, as an standalone application not depending on AXIS or other interface, but just on a developer's choice of hal components?.

Javier - I'm a bit unclear what you mean by starting from just a HAL session - do you mean without interpreter and task executor? If this is what you're referring to: I would guess that would be a HAL-only application without any of NML-based components like UI, task, interpreter, iocontrol without testing it I would think that would amount to: - modifying the emc shell script to not start milltask, the UI, and iocontrol - modify it to start your gladevcp app I would think it is possible to run just HAL, yes - I'd need to check if there are any references in the HAL widgets to the emc and gcode Python modules which assume task and interpreter -Michael -- Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention Research study explores the data loss prevention market.

It looks like you are missing some build dependencies (the configure script is complaining specifically about TkImg in the error message you helpfully included above). These are supplied by packages, and easy to install: cd emc2-dev/debian ./configure -a cd .. dpkg-checkbuilddeps Then apt-get install each of the missing build dependencies, and your configure should work (the configure script in src this time, not in the debian directory). But there's an easier way if you just want to run the 2.5 branch: install the pre-built debs from the buildbot.

Re: [Emc-users] XYZA home all?
Niels, You can home all the joints with Home all buttons, even if there is no homing switch for one of the joints. I did that for the welding robot - the rotary head did not (AFAIK it still does not) homing switch, but it homed together with all the other joints, which had homing switches. In the robot INI file for that joint without homing switch I had: HOME = xxx HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 All the remaining homing-related lines are commented out. I will disagree with Andy on the advice to delete HOME-SEQUENCE line. EMC Integrators' Manual, page 24: If HOME_SEQUENCE is -1 or not specified then this joint will not be homed by the HOME ALL sequence. If You cannot make it work, send me the part of INI file, which specifies all the joint parameters. I will take a look. Viesturs 2011/7/19 Niels Jalling ni...@jalling.dk: Thanks.

Re: [Emc-users] Remote desktop

BTW this one has 2 independent THC sensors working together. Since that machine is 3 hours of driving from me, which is pretty far for me, client asked me that they would like me to be able to remotely to the PC with EMC as a means for support in case something goes wrong. For example, they need to reinstall OS and restore all the settings or something else. They can arrange the internet connection with fixed IP for that PC. The question is - what would be the best way to do that? The client with a welding robot also expressed such an idea, but I talked them out of it. But now I start to think that it might be worth trying to implement it as a part of my customer service. I am aware of VNC, but maybe there are some built-in tools in Lucid? What I need is the ability to connect to that PC so that I see the desktop and, if I cannot take over the control of mouse and keyboard, then at least I need some window, where I can paste instructions, based on what I see in the screen.

You can SSH into the machine. Open-gl either doesn't run across an X connection, or is so slow as to be unusable. I think if you use Axis, you need to immediately set it to the non-3D preview window. Otherwise, I think you can run Axis, and I know you can run Touchy or TKEMC remotely through X. The update rate will be noticeably slowed by the net, but it works. Of course, you can do all sorts of other maintenance work through ssh and sftp as long as the main parts of the OS are running. You might arrange that the net cable be unplugged for security when you don't need access. This doesn't give you the ability to look over the operator's shoulder like VNC, but does allow you to test the machine remotely. VNC works quite well on most Linux systems.

[Emc-users] Problem: Tool length compensation not compensating?
I recently converted my mill to EMC from Mach, and until now have been using it only with subroutines. Tonight I tried running a program produced by BobCAD v23, which I have used successfully with Mach, and ran into a problem with tool length compensation. Basically, I could not get the offsets to stick through a tool change. Here is what my tool table file looks like *: T1 P1 D0.125000 Z+2.269462 ;1/8 end mill T2 P2 D0.062500 Z+2.478416 ;1/16 end mill T3 P3 D0.201000 Z+1.273000 ;#7 tap drill T9 P9 Z+0.10 ;big tool number I also have the same PC set up to run my lathe, and I have run that with three pre-set tools for a few months now with no problem. When I swap tools, I issue a command like M6 T2 G43, and the tool display in Axis changes and the DROs re-set to reflect the tool X/Z offset, and it's all good. But, on my mill, if I enter the same command, the Z value does not change. I touched both tools off and checked the tool table, it matched the values I had set manually by measuring the tools offline, but no matter what I did, it didn't seem to want to apply my offsets properly. Here is the beginning of a program that is giving me trouble. Prior to running this program, I had T1 in (based on the values above). I then ran this program below. It prompted me for tool #2, I put it in, clicked OK (I am using the manual tool change dialog), but it proceeded to behave as though the Z offset for tool 1 was active. At least that's what it looked like as things were off by about .25 which is about the difference between the two tools. /(BEGIN PREDATOR NC HEADER) /(MACH_FILE=3XVMILL.MCH) /(MTOOL T2 S1 D.25 C0. A0. H3.) /(SBOX X0. Y0. Z-1. L4.3 W2. H1.) /(END PREDATOR NC HEADER) N1 ( C2_0718_B.NC) N2 ( EMC2 ) N3 ( TUE. 07/19/2011 10:08PM) N4 G17 G20 G40 G49 N5 G80 G90 N6 (PROFILE) N7 (MSG,LOAD.25 ENDMILL ROUGH) N8 T2 M06 N9 S3000 M3 N10 G0 G54 X-.3657 Y. N11 G43 H2 Z1. N12 M8 N13 G1 Z-.05 F2. Is there anything obviously wrong here? Do I need to share my HAL or other config files? I thought I had this figured out after getting my lathe running so nicely, but this one kind of has me stumped. Thanks in advance, -cwk. * An aside about the tool table: I initially set this up by hand (using the Axis UI), and had this set with only two tools, a .250 center drill and a .250 endmill. I then went back and re-set both tools by using the touch-off, and every time I do that, it adds the #7 tap drill and the T9 tool, and changes the diameters for T1 and T2. My CAM puts out tool centerline code, so I don't have a pressing problem there, but still, it didn't seem right... -- 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.

Re: [Emc-users] XYZA home all?
2011/7/19 Niels Jalling ni...@jalling.dk: Hi Viesturs Thank you for the tip. It worked. Before made by Stepconf for the a-axis: ... MAX_LIMIT = .0 HOME_OFFSET = 0.0 eof inifile I added to my inifile ... MAX_LIMIT = .0 HOME_OFFSET = 0.0 HOME_SEQUENCE = 0 -- eof inifile So it finally works? Good to hear! But I am wondering about that home_offset. I had only home value, and all the remaining commented out, but if it works for You as it is, then lets leave it in a way that is working :) Viesturs -- 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
