It is clear enough now what you are talking about.

While I don't agree so much with having delete available in the load program
dialog, I see nothing wrong with a delete file option in the GUI.

If I had a production machine that showed the cnc screen full screen, I think
I would find it annoying to minimize the screen and use the file manager.

In fact I could understand cases where I would not want the operator to use
anything but the cnc screen.

But, on the other hand, it is very useful.  I use these features on a regular

I'm not terribly interested if it is an 'abominaton' if it helps me get the job 
done.

Do you have either the mist or flood outputs free?  You could use

[Emc-users] Esc key

[Brian May]

I use the esc key alot to stop programs  or turn off the spindle - almost like 
a reset key.  Is there a pin where i can bring this into classic ladder?  I 
have a live tooling motor that i turn on with a custom m-code (m103).  I would 
like it to turn off when i press the esc key.  I currently use another m-code 
to turn it off.  Which i want to keep - but would also like the esc to work.

In ms office in windows, you can in fact rename/move/delete
files in the file OPEN dialog box.  It is an abomination.

I for one cannot grasp why the OP wants to delete the file.  Doesn't he 
want to ever make another copy of that part?  What if he had a power 
failure in the middle of that part?  He would be totally screwed and have 
to redesign it before he could make another.

Boggles what mind I have left.

Re: [Emc-users] Final user of EMC2.

[John Kasunich]

Why do you expect EMC to be different than any other program?

Do you delete word processor files from the "file open" menu
of the word processor?  Do you delete spreadsheets from the
"file open" menu of the spreadsheet program?  NO.  You delete
files using your computer's file manager application (or the
command line).

G-code files are no different than spreadsheets or word
processor documents.  They are just files, and you can copy,
delete, or rename them using the operating system just like
any other file.  It would be stupid to duplicate that
functionality in EMC, when the operating system does it better,
and in a standard and well-known way that doesn't require any
extra learning curve.

[Emc-users] seiberco stepper drive

[Terry Christophersen]

A friend of mine is having trouble with his OMAX waterjet.I looked at the drives
and can find no infromation on them.They are model  AIMAX 260-70-X.
This is a mid 90s machine and the computer has failed.He asked me if LinuxCNC
would run it,and I told him I was pretty sure it would.
OMAX wants $5000 for a new computer and if you want tech help with putting
it in that will be an extra 5000. They must only want to sell new waterjets not
have anybody fix old ones.
Anyway has anybody ever used these drives?
 
Thanks

I think problem again here.
I am not talking about UBUNTU.
I am talking about EMC2 2.2.5 and problem in DELETE file -program name- 
from icon on EMC2 where one load new program.
When load file/program into EMC2 --EMC2 2.2.5 in my particular 
case---DELETE those file name.
Is is clear now what i am talking about?

Hi
Eventually with the help of other point made clear.
Point that file, from icon where pick a program, process of DELETE 
/remove of it need to be simple.
Like –click on file—DELETE ---result file not there any more.
That will be significant help to –“diligent in policing their files”.
EMC2 is a diamond (rough or no) but in constant process of cut to make 
it better and convenient to use for “Final User”.
Question is will it ever happen?

The Nano is a decent little scope. Very handy and can be easily dropped in your 
gear bag or used on your bench as an extra scope to supplement your bench unit. 

Far better than no scope, although I would recommend having something bigger if 
possible. I've also got one of the DS1052E scopes and it is pretty good for the 
money. It's also quite portable, compared to my old boatanchor scopes.

Hi,

I have tried multiple different browser and on different days, but when I
submit my info to register to forum, the page just refreshes and clears
everything.

I want to register a username Chendy

..and maybe a simple mid-way-solution can be a relay in parallel with
the brake, so that you'll have a signal when the current phisically goes
to the brake (assuming you're using a normally engaged brake
(no-current)..)

W/o feedback its open loop.  Just like a stepper motor.  Lots of
applications are fine w/ those.

Re: [Emc-users] How to unlock a linear axis

[Stuart Stevenson]

Guys

let's look at this a little bit

You want to keep the slide from attempting to move while the brake is
engaged.

Is that the desired machine action?

If you do not physically mount a switch to the brake how does the control
know the brake is engaged or not?

Even if you find a software solution to the control problem the control
will still not 'KNOW' if the brake is engaged or not.

With a switch mounted on the brake the speed of the engage/disengage cycle
is not important to the machine/control loop.

just my 2 cents

thanks
Stuart

If I understand correctly, then if joint with LOCKING_INDEXER = 1 is
being moved, then all the other joints have to stand still, so there
is no interpolation between this particular joint and the other
joints.
In that case You can easily set that joint to be "rotary joint". It
does not matter that it actually is linear joint. If all the scale
values, angular velocities and accelerations etc are set correctly,
then it will move You to right position at right speed and
acceleration.
And with "rotary joint" You will have all the required pins created
and You will not need to hack feedback position or ferror parameters.

I went the other way from Gene.  I have a Tek 7623 with a bunch of
plugins, and a TM504 with calibration plugins, power supply plugins,
two SC504 scope plugins, an SC503 scope plugin and an SC502 scope
plugin.

One can never have too many scopes...

Re: [Emc-users] How to unlock a linear axis

[Andrea Buono]

Thankyou, the first solution is not praticable becouse of the PID, after
unlock the motor it try to regain the error with a error proportional
velocity, the second I will try.

A very crude solution would be to increase the f-error limits so that
the tracking error is ignored.
Even cruder would be to net motor-pos-fb to motor-pos-cmd so that
LinuxCNC never sees the tracking error.

Re: [Emc-users] How to unlock a linear axis

[Andrea Buono]

Hi,

Thankyou for your test, you have save me much time, but I'm a little
disappointed becouse I think that I'm stupid becouse I can't find a way to
do the job ... is it impossible that in all the time that linuxcnc exist no
one had my same problem.
Well, a way illustrated from Kirk Wallace seems good but I'm not sure on
how implement the trik, I don't know how to force the commanded position
from the motion part to be at a fixed point even if it have a jog or G
command, I have made some test with the axis.N.motor-pos-fb but the
tracking error remain.
I hope in a miracleor someone much clever than me.
