Re: [Emc-users] tripodkins & others
Yes, there it is in the config files... there is none for any others. So what happened to them. No Hexypod. nada. I could go back, but HAL has changed and they probably wouldn't run. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] tripodkins & all the others actually
Well I think you're right "bkt" somehow to simplify the xyz trikins install process all the other types of real time machines have been removed from the the compile process. I thought if I just rebuilt linux cnc from scratch I'd get them, but no... following the directions in "Building LinuxCNC", I just end up with the same thing! So frustrating because I remember when these were included! I'm not I very good linux programmer, so I don't know what to do to make this work. It must be statements in the config file that tell it not to make real time for what I need? The good thing is, my reading has discovered this computer called the "BeagleBone black", which if I could figure out how to use it would be perfect. Usb ony thu? what do with those? Anyway would anyone care to share what I need to do to make code in "linux-dev/src" compile a realtime hal for tripodkins? -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] Tripodkins
And the last question is if I compile this code on my fast computer, running under VMware Workstation, will I be able to transfer an iso file to another computer and install it or just use the resultant hal file? -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] Tripodkins
I guess what I could do is get on "github" and get the files and compile it using: ./configure --enable-run-in-place. (I didn't want to do all this work...) This would hopefully give me the hal files I want. (me wanting the softer way). This caused me to take a look at Machineket, which I don't understand, but which interests me especially since somehow buying the Beaglebone black computer for $35 as a separate piece to run the real time components. Also since Repetier Server will run across a network this could be ideal for 3d printers and milling machines too. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
[Emc-users] Tripopkins
What I did, was ran emc stepper_inch_parallel_port. Then edited the core_hal file like this: # core HAL config file for steppers # first load the core RT modules that will be needed # kinematics #I changed this- #load trivkins loadrt tripodkins setp tripodkins.Bx 25.1250 setp tripodkins.Cx 12.5625 setp tripodkins.Cy -36.000 What happened, when I ran EMC, it loaded and when I jogged the x-axis the x-motor ran, but not the y-motor. I would expect they would both run together. Same with the y-axis, just the y-motor. I don't have the z-motor yet. So I studied the Hal Manual, but I don't know what to do to make the changes necessary to the hal file for this to work. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] tripodkins
I can't get the hal file right to run a stepper tripod. If someone could share one that runs on wheezy I would be most appreciative. I was thinking I could build a 3d printer with this. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] adding and compiling a new file
Thanks guys, John's method works; I'll try the others too. If anyone wants these files, I'll happily send. c brauer On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 11:31 AM, Jeff Epler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Jun 02, 2008 at 06:13:05PM +0200, jros wrote: I think a different aproach is sudo comp --install your_kin.c from EMC 2.1.7 and above. It compiles and installs in place (I think) (sudo) comp --install should work for both run-installed and run-in-place versions. The sudo will be necessary for run-installed systems, because typically root owns the directory containing the emc modules. sudo is usually not necessary for run-in-place, because the user probably owns the module directory. I recommend comp --install over modifying emc2's makefiles if all you are doing is adding new components. However, if you do prefer to integrate the new module with the emc source tree, you can do that too. For .comp files, just place the file in src/hal/components or src/hal/drivers as appropriate. For other modules, you have to write several lines in the top-level Makefile, similar to these for trivkins: obj-m += trivkins.o trivkins-objs := emc/kinematics/trivkins.o # ... many lines later ... ../rtlib/trivkins$(MODULE_EXT): $(addprefix objects/rt,$(trivkins-objs)) Jeff - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Emc-users] adding and compiling a new file
Hi all- I am trying to compile and build the dipod, so I placed the functions mentioned in the 'kematics document' keeping the file looking like tripod.c. Now what? How do I get emc to compile it? Is there a step-by-step proceedure for adding new files and getting emc to comile them? Thanks. c brauer - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
