Here's the initial description: http://softsolder.com/2010/10/23/logitech-gamepad-as-emc2-pendant-eagle-schematics-for-the-joggy-thing/ It gives direct four-axis control: XY on the left, ZA on the right. The buttons along the top provide full-speed rapids and the joysticks go down to crawling speeds. The HAL circuitry detects which joystick axis starts moving and locks out all the others, which prevents inadvertent motion along an axis that you've already lined up against an edge. The buttons don't have that lockout, so you can slew diagonally at high speed when that's appropriate. More HAL wiring uses two of the four buttons on the cable side as an E-stop button: you must push both buttons to trigger the stop. Agreed, software should be in the E-stop loop, but this is a Sherline... and I haven't ever used those buttons, come to think of it, because shutting off the power to the motor driver box works even better. How practical are USB joysticks for use as pendants on a milling machine? Probably not very, at least on a real milling machine that's spraying coolants and hot chips and piles of swarf all over.

The slicing software adjusts the extrusion speed to match the XY speed, so the printer lays down a consistent amount of plastic no matter what speed you choose. That's the theory. In practice (and for my setup), higher speeds produce worse results. I think part of the problem is that the extruder must paste the current molten thread onto the previous layer, which requires enough dwell time to melt them firmly together; higher speeds work against that, so things don't stick nearly as well. On the other hand, faster non-printing moves reduce the amount of time the printer spends *not* printing, which is generally a Good Thing... until something shakes loose. -- Ed softsolder.com -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with 2% overhead.

Re: [Emc-users] Set axis zero without homing
Bruce Klawiter wrote: As well as running EMC2 I can us my mill manually. When using the mill manually I use the DRO in EMC2, how do I set each axis to zero without having to home the machine first. I get an error telling me It needs to be homed first. You can set it to home where it is, then home each axis aligned with a visible mark. But, automatic homing, even to simple switches is really helpful. It allows you to set the machine limits of travel, then when you load a G-code program, it immediately tells you that the program exceeds some axis at line # so and so. This allows you to reposition the part so it won't run out of travel in the middle of the job. Saved me time and materials a couple times when I had the part too close to the edge.

Re: [Emc-users] Pendant recommendations
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm hesitant to do a USB interface with an MPG wheel so I think I will stick to an LPT port interface for this machine and give that a go. That should be simple and reliable. I ordered one of the CNC4PC like units off of Ebay. $92 including shipping.

Someone on the forum has one largely working with hal_input, but there is as-yet no way to use the LCD. I asked one of the manufacturers if they wanted to lend me one to write a HAL driver, but they weren't interested. The JogIt! is plug-and-play because it works entirely by keypress emulation. This also means that you might not always be able to rely on the key-up signal arriving when you expect. My preference would be for an all-realtime pendant. The Mesa 7i73 is the ideal thing for the interfacing, but is just a bare PCB so isn't what the OP was after. It shouldn't be particularly difficult to put one in one of these though: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261182593565 -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with 2% overhead.
