  Has anyone tried to use and RC controller with EMC to run a RC brushless
  motor

Hi!
I try to use it.
Work still in progress, but control part is almost done.
please read more here

 They take a pwm control signal from 1ms to 2ms or around there but haven't
 tried
 It sound like the have to have a signal on the input when there powered up
 or the go into disable mode possibly

 How does your current drawbar work?
 I can imagine thet it might be possible to use the exisiting drawbar
 actuator for the new spindle. Part of the solution might be to hold
 the high-speed spindle in place with the 4 tapped holes in the face
 rather than with the drawbar.

 I have an electric draw bar like this one:
 http://home.insightbb.com/~joevicar3/cheap_drawbar.htm

 It's not very subtle and would make short work of a 20 taper collet.

 There are laminations available with a decent-sized central hole that
 would allow a through-bore motor to be made.

 65mmstator I think an ISO10 holder could be made to fit at least
 partly up inside that, and you could probably still get at the face
 mounting bolts.
 However I have not found a drawing which shows them.

 http://www.schaublin.ch/catalogues/PO039-042.pdf

 Usually outrunners are wound to get low RPM. I would most likely need as
 much speed as possible. Many of the laminations I have seen have odd numbers
 of poles so would not work. I do see the above stator has a number of poles
 that evenly divides by three, so would work if I wind six poles in a row. So
 let's see, 60 RPS = 3600 RPM. Common VFD's go up to 400 Hz to give around
 24,000 RPM. That would do nicely. This would be a slam dunk if I didn't want
 the draw bar and went with ER collets, hmmm.

 An Inrunner might package more easily.

 Rather than a brushless motor, I wonder if gearing up the existing
 spindle is an option. I have seen a centrifugal supercharger drive
 which used friction drive to achieve a large speed increase using only
 a slightly resilient outer drive ring, and slightly-floating-mounted
 planets. These are almost ready-made for the planet job:

 extra_field_filter=1

 I found this:

 I suppose a smooth belt from the main spindle to an offset idler axle then
 a belt back to an on-axis secondary spindle would work, but then there would
 be no fancy high-tech electronics involved.

Re: [Emc-users] emcrsh: server part locks up

Hi friends!
Thank you for answers. Please let me continue discussion on EMC web forum, 
where 
my initial post was. I answer on web forum, not here in mailing list, for not 
to 
make fork in discussion.

Thanks! :-)

 Hi!
 I found some troubles using Emcrsh program.
 The detailed description is here
 http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/cati
 d,38/id,13940/lang,english/
 In addition, my Emc software version was initially not latest 2.4.6, but
 version
 packed into liveCD image. I then update it to 2.4.6 but no difference. I
 can't
 test version 2.4.7, because mentioned in announce 'Debian packages are
 availble
 from the regular package servers' i can't find anywhere. When i build from
 source, i see Emcrch binary, but don't see Emc main executable (probably due
 to
 i don't have real-time developement libs). I try to substitute Emcrsh 2.4.7
 binary into existing Emc2 2.4.6 instalation, but still no success.
 I also notice that increase Base_period from 10 to 50 mostly solves
 this
 problem (but not completely solves), but software stepgens not work anymore
 with it.
 I disable all i found relevant to problem in my BIOS setup (USB, sound, CPU
 features, etc.) but no difference.
 Jitter is: 3100 ns when idle, and up to 6700 ns when i abuse computer
 (glxgears
 etc). (these values taken after i moderately modify BIOS settings). No
 jitter
 peaks i notice. I have Intel Celeron E14 06FD 2.0GHz CPU and Gigabyte
 GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard. Onboard videocard used.
 I use cheap parallel port step drivers. I have 4 axis. My initial setup was
 standard liveCD EMC2 which work out-of-box, and i am able to mill without
 any
 problem, when not use Emcrsh.
 I am very novice in EMC, RTAI and machining at all.

 Thank you very much!
