On Monday, April 02, 2012 09:24:27 AM Mark Wendt did opine: I'd also like to add my thanks to all those who worked on this and delivered! Mark I'll 2nd those thoughts although I haven't yet tried 2.5.0. I have been on master-rt, the 2.6.0-hashnumber builds for about 4 months now, which means I get a fresh build almost every day. I think it is more stable than these atom machines. The last one I bought doesn't seem to be as stable as the first one, and quitting a major app without having to power cycle it is occurring often enough that I am not pointing any fingers at LinuxCNC. Quitting any app can lock it up, and will about 10% of the time.

[Emc-users] glitches in several sim configurations
Gentle persons: I grabbed the LinuxCNC 2.5 iso last night and tried it via a LiveUSB stick out this morning. Looks very clean. My thanks again. However, there's glitches in several sim sample configurations that I think have actually been around for several releases. A. For sim/axis/axis and sim/axis/gantry 1) start LinuxCNC 2) in the LinuxCNC Configuration Selector, pick sim/axis/axis or sim/axis/gantry from Sample Configurations 3) start LinuxCNC and follow the usual drill---toggle emergency stop, toggle machine power, home all, begin executing 4) up comes an error window Program exceeds machine limits...on axis Z 5) choose to run anyway 6) no go---Axis shows the message Linear move in line 9 would exceed joint 2's positive limit punctuated by its lovely white cross in a big red circle These problems have percolated into other branches of the sim configurations such as the sim/gladevcp/gladevcp_panel demo but I haven't had time to try them all. B. LinuxCNC terminates with an error and a window full of diagnostic info while loading the sim/axis/profile_axis configuration I realize this is pretty trivial stuff but it would be discouraging to a noobie who uses the simulated configurations to assess LinuxCNC.

Chris and I discussed this, and it is actually intentional.

The way to machine this in any real situation would be to touch off the tool to the top of the work, setting 0 as the top of work, and giving yourself the room you need to traverse above the work.

Re: [Emc-users] glitches in several sim configurations
On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 11:36 AM, Sebastian Kuzminsky s...@highlab.com wrote: First of all, note that if you read the gcode in the bottom part of the Axis window, it starts with a comment telling you how to get it to run. The way to machine this in any real situation would be to touch off the tool to the top of the work, setting 0 as the top of work, and giving yourself the room you need to traverse above the work. This is the work flow that the gcode comments suggests. sim/axis shows this behavior but axis_9axis and axis_mm runs right off the bat. In sin/axis, the comment suggests touching off, but doesn't say explicitly that you have to home first. There's an error message that says that MDI commands require homing but that's cryptic to a novice. May I suggest the following text in axis.ngc: ( AXIS splash g-code Not intended for actual milling ) ( To run this code anyway you might have to Touch Off the Z axis after the mill has been homed) ( depending on your setup. As if you had some material in your mill... ) ( Hint: jog the Z axis down a bit by clicking '-' then click touch off---this will shift the coordinate system ) ( to track the actual top surface of your material. ) ( Also press the Toggle Skip Lines with / to see that part ) ( If the program is too big or small for your machine, change the scale by adjusting parameter #3 below) -- Better than sec?

Re: [Emc-users] RELEASED: LinuxCNC 2.5.0
Steve, It's nice to know that the modified manual toolchange macro works with 2.5! I was a little hesitant to upgrade because of that, but now I think I'll upgrade tonight. And of course, thanks to all who were involved with the 2.5 release. All your hard work is greatly appreciated.

The upgrade should just work no matter what you have had installed, unless you've used packages from master/2.6 (in which case 2.5.0 is a downgrade you need to do manually). The only thing you have to do is move your configurations in your home directory from ~/emc2 to ~/linuxcnc (just rename that directory). It does indeed just work, and surprisingly so does the original modified manual toolchange macro. Mine still has the nml stuff in and I have done no editing of the layout that some people seem to have had to do and it works fine with 2.5 :) Thanks guys. Steve Blackmore -- -- Better than sec?

[Emc-users] database Q?
In documenting all the wiring around linuxcnc for the lathe, I had started a libreoffice-base session and had about half of the C1G wiring all laid out so it would be in a format I could easily use to complete the .hal file configuration. But of course in starting and stopping linuxcnc so many times while I verified that what I wrote was correct, the ^)*%#@ system went away on me and I had to hit the hdwe reset to reboot it. The latest version of LO-Base had been running for perhaps 1.5 hours at that point, so if it did do an automatic save, it had yonks to do it in and I should have been able to do a full recovery as I hadn't made a new entry in 45 minutes or more due to chasing down a broken wire that stopped the Z motor steps from getting through. Which it did attempt, but the only thing it could recover was the filename.odt. About 3kb of mostly binary that did not even include the column heading text. Not even the empty form view could be recovered when it tried, and no errors were reported when it tried so I had assumed it was successful until I tried to view it drew a blank. This is pure BS. Needless to say, I won't appreciate ringing all that stuff out again, but I will do it so I can trace it 6 months down the log when something quits working. Does this so-called database program have an auto-save and I didn't have it turned on because on is not the default? Shame on LO-Base in that event. If I do this on a pad stick there is a lot higher chance for mistakes as my hand writing needs a translator most of the time. If the LO-Base can't do this, can the OO-Base do it? Or should I just fire up vim see if I can build my own table of wiring? Vim does lousy gfx for row/column marking in case no one has noticed. So, what do I use that doesn't stick me in an infinite loop of losing it all when this POS crashes again, which it will, exactly like cement? Are the BIOS defaults less than optimum for this board perhaps? I had a feeling I was in trouble when Jameco sent me the wrong parts for the 2nd time. When I called, and said these solder cup connectors were worthless to me, I asked them to find me somebody who, like me, could tell the diff between an IDC connector for ribbon cable, and a solder cup connector from at least 40 feet away. I think they found the right one this 3rd time, maybe its a charm? But I will not be convinced till they get here again and are correct, he did ask what size the wire was that I was crimping. Has anyone seen a ribbon cable that wasn't 28 gage? Sigh, me neither... Cheers, Gene -- There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
