[Emc-users] endoscope camera mount?
Greetings all; I finally managed to cobble up an EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = camview-emc -C camview.cfg -g togle-caa.ui -H campins.hal -w {XID} That actually works if I use the original halio.c, and I don't even have to patch /usr/bin/axis to get it to run. So except for the lack of a background for the DRO display in camview, its looking good enough to make me think about making a mount for the camera. I go out and stare at the right side of the spindle casting, and the camera, in search of a vision as to how to mount it both rigidly AND adjustable for alignment. And I'm fresh out of visions, must have used up my allotment for this year. Or something along those lines... So I would be interested in how someone else has mounted one of the endoscope cameras on his mill, allowing for suitable methods of tweaking alignment. PM's with attached pix would be fine if someone has the time to send them. Thanks all. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

How about a magnetic dial indicator base? Unscrew the rod from the magnetic base and tap a hole into the spindle casting to screw it in there instead. It would give you fine adjustability anyway.

Works good. I guess you could use one of the Chinese dial indicator bases, but it wouldn't be the same -- Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.

And could still get knocked out of whack by a passing wrench while changing tools. So that thought faded till you mentioned it. :) But thanks, it proves that other minds may think like mine. ;-) > On Nov 22, 2013, at 11:32 AM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > Greetings all; > > > > I finally managed to cobble up an > > EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = camview-emc -C camview.cfg -g togle-caa.ui -H > > campins.hal -w {XID} > > > > That actually works if I use the original halio.c, and I don't even > > have to patch /usr/bin/axis to get it to run.
