[Emc-users] Unified Build/ new RTOS work: general availability for testing
We're happy to announce the Unified Build branch for general testing. This branch has been in limited preview for a while, and numerous positive reports have come in, so we think it is good to go for wider evaluation. We consider this a merge candidate for the 2.6 release. In a nutshell: what it does: = build LinuxCNC such that it runs unchanged on any kernel found on the build platform (even multiple versions): RTAI, Xenomai, RT-Preempt, or vanilla - only reboot into new kernel required. No configuration changes to existing configs should be necessary. Runs on x86, amd64, and ARM platforms (beaglebone and Raspberry tested). what it contains: = This branch contains all of master as of yesterday, and the unified binary support code which has been in development over the last year. does it move metal: === positively yes. how to try it === we do not have packages as of yet - you need to build from source. Whatever kernel you happen to be running is fine if you have the linux-headers pkg installed. Follow the steps outlined in section 3 to build: http://static.mah.priv.at/public/html/common/UnifiedBuild.html#_installation , then run your configuration as usual. I dont want to read this darn documentation, just try it cd src ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make setuid . ../scripts/rip-environment linuxcnc how to report problems == please get yourself a github account if you dont have one, and create new issues here, or comment on existing ones: https://github.com/zultron/linuxcnc/issues?state=open more information about this branch: === The documentation contains sections on the history, intent and principles of operation: http://static.mah.priv.at/public/html/common/UnifiedBuild.html We would like to thank all testers and contributors who have been suffering through the early stages of this effort, and have provided valuable feedback. for the authors, - Michael -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Not easily, these are quite exotic taper-roller bearings. (Hand-engraved serial numbers on both halves). Then I'd just run it full of the oil by adding a spring loaded lid oil cup just below the top bearing And it doesn't run full of oil, it has an internal bevel drive and the oil level mark is only a couple of inches from the bottom. You can see the oil sight-glass here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vcfDADDvrMLWErEmrEnm69MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Probably much like a Centec vertical head in design. That had similar - hand engraved matched bearings, grease for top and bottom bearings and oil for bevel gears, oil for that was Vitrea 41. They were designed as a slow total loss system as were many old machines. My Centec would run a couple of days before the oil level dropped too low. The casting had an internal dam that the oil was behind and only a small amount splashed onto the spindle and dripped out. In practice it worked well - if it's working - leave it alone, the odd splash of oil is part of the experience.

I think you envision the o-ring riding the OD of the spindle, I wasn't. I was imagining a plate, possible bolted to the existing retainer plate by drilling and tapping in between the bolt holes it now has, with a groove for the o-ring in the top face of the seal carrier plate, possibly using the seals OD as the ID wall of the groove, such that you were compressing the o-ring against the bottom face of the bearing retainer. No sliding contact involved. If because the OD of the seal puts it on the retainers bolt circle, then make the seal plate enough bigger so that the o-ring could be located outside the bolt circle. But thats assuming cap screws buried in the bearing retainer, which may not be the case. That just serves to make the seal holders machining more complex and maybe thicker if you have to machine another bolt head clearance groove too. The seal would be a normal lip type seal sized to fit the spindles OD. A 6 pack of 3mm bolts should hold it till the universe runs down. And would be easily removed should access to the bearing be needed many years from now. Total loss is a balancing act, because of the potential for carrying contaminants in as you add what should be clean oil always exists. Throwing oil on the wood is not nice at all. You can't put a finish on it as every drop is an 'eye' the finish runs away from. Sometimes you can wash it clean enough with acetone, but if the oil has any silicon content, the piece is campfire wood. Putting 5 to 10 buck a bd ft cherry or maple in the fire isn't good use of the resource. :) Cheers, Gene -- There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

It said this 3 times for each axis Can you jog the Z axis at all? You probably need to touch-off the Z axis tom somewhere inside the machine bounds. If you are using the Axis GUI you can see the machine bounding-box in the graphical display as red dotted lines. And, also, if you are in the Axis GUI you have a touch off button that lets you tell the machine where is is. The problem is that it thinks that Z is at -278, so a move to +10 or even -10 involves a 300mm move, which I am guessing may be longer than your axes. Tell it that it is already at 0, then the G0 Z10 is only a 10mm move. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Yes, that is the problem. It might even want to home some axes you don't even know you have. Add an entry in the INI for every [AXIS_N] up to 8 with HOME_SEQUENCE 0, HOME_SEARCH_VELOCITY_0 , USE_INDEX = NO Then all the dummy axes will home too. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Re: [Emc-users] lineardeltakins and 'World mode' problem..
2013/9/3 Bob Weiss bweiss0...@gmail.com I tried to switch to World mode and it gives me an error saying all joints must be hommed before going into teleop mode. I then hommed all axis and 0, 1 2 all went to 0 on the MDI with a * next to them all. It still said the same error message when I tried again. It seems like it wants axis(joint) 3 to be hommed also since that one still shows -0.00 with no * next to it. That is the extruder and there is no home for this axis. How can I get around this? I have the search_vel and latch_vel lines for all 3 axis's #out (commented) so technically no home or limits on machine. Axis 3 doesn't have this either. In your ini file be sure to add HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 (it can be 0 as well, does not really matter) for AXIS_3. Be sure that home search and latch velocities are 0. That way it will home extruder, where it is. -- Viesturs -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
