Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems

 Yabut...  How well do those routers play with FIOS?

You must retain the router that Verizon gave you as the CE (Customer
Edge) device, otherwise you can't stream on demand video and the like.
However, you can disable its wireless port and install a WRT54G (about
half the cost of an RPi on eBay) with OpenWRT as your AP.  You probably
want to configure the WRT with a static IP address.  Then, running it in
AP mode, you simply connect one of its LAN ports via ethernet to the CE
router.

 G33 manual says it can sync X, Y, Z axes with spindle. What if I want to

 I think that you would have to map the rotary axis position to one of
 the X Y or Z axis commands.
 What is the application? I can think of only one reason to synch the
 spindle to a rotary (gear hobbing) and that is more readily done in
 other ways.
 Yes, my client wants to hob worm gears. Now I need to check capability
 writing G33 together with A.
Have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhICrb0Tbn4

The implication is that the capability is already in LinuxCNC.  I am new to
this whole business, but I'm not gonna be satisfied until I can do this on
a tabletop ;-)

Re: [Emc-users] I'm going to build something small, need a cheap stepper driver.

 Bought someone's failed hot wire foam cutter project (it used full extension,

 Got the motors off, going to put the drawer slides on the yard sale tomorrow.

 Any reccomends on a really inexpensive way to drive these 6 wire motors?
I am *very* happy with my TinyG:
https://www.synthetos.com/what-is-tinyg-and-why/

Currently using it to drive a Sherline lathe.  I am using 8-wire steppers
(Applied Motion HT23-597D) wired as bi-polar parallel (4-wire).
 I have a bunch of 40/40 T-slot extrusion ($2.49 foot at a surplus company) 
 with connectors that fit into the ends *and* inside corner brackets so it'll 
 make a very rigid frame.

 I am thinking about a 3D printer, but I'll want the thing built very rigid. I 
 recently saw a Solidoodle 3 in action. Not much impressed! The build platform 
 is only supported on one side and I could see it wiggle, which appeared to 
 harmonically combine with the motor motion to produce a visible waviness to 
 the edges of every layer.
The next step up from the TinyG is something like the machinekit
that Charles Steinkuehler has built:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK_OYoNOBDQ
http://bb-lcnc.blogspot.com/p/machinekit_16.html

This provides you with high power FETs to control heaters, etc.
but is about double the cost (when you factor in the BBB) and needs
two power supplies (assuming you want to drive you motors with
something  12V).

   You probably want at least 750W motors, geared to suit any
   difference in nominal motor speed.
   
   My small knee mill seems pretty reasonable with 750W

   Though I suspect that I am limited by software commutation

 The Servo Dynamics SDF1525-12 is rated at 120 volts so I assume the motors 
 never saw 140 volts. Still nearly 700 Watts.
Divide watts by 746 to get hp.

Under the heading you get what you pay for, have you looked at the Teknic

They are available in a variety of stack lengths and windings, and sold

[Emc-users] MachineKit wired network disconnected

2013-08-23 Thread Kerry Lynn
[cross posted to the BeagleBone Google Group]

Greetings,

I am a BBB newbie and trying to set it up as linuxcnc per:
http://bb-lcnc.blogspot.com/p/machinekit_16.html.  Base distro is
Debian Wheezy.

My host console is ubuntu 12.04 LTS running as a VM in OS X.

After booting the BBB from the SD card, connecting it to the VM,
and running ifconfig eth1 192.168.7.1 I am able to ping 192.168.7.2
and ssh as either the root or linux user.

However, shortly thereafter ubuntu displays Wired network Disconnected,
the ssh session is frozen, and eth1 no longer shows inet addr:192.168.7.2.
The message keeps appearing periodically.

I have added udev rules via mkudevrule.sh but no joy.

Any ideas?  This behavior does not occur when I boot the default image
from eMMC (and I do not have to manually add 192.168.7.1 either).

Thanks, -K-
