[Emc-users] E-stop and machine on/off
Hi, I'm running EMC2 2.2.8 and I've got an external safety circuit. When I reset my external E-stop and I arm my electronics I want that Axis starts with machine ON. I connected the signal coming from my external circuit to the E-stop and I would like that also the machine starts. In the pinout.hal file I put the code below but I relized that the machine starts only sometimes very random, each 6/7 attempts the machine starts. # External E-Stop net estop-loop <= parport.0.pin-13-in-not net estop-loop => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in net estop-loop => halui.machine.on It's amazing because if I use the internal E-stop and I release the E-stop in Axis then it works correctly # Internal E-Stop net estop-loop <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out net estop-loop => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in net estop-loop => halui.machine.on What's the difference? Anyway I would like the machine starts when the external E-stop is released, is it possible.

[Emc-users] pin 'halui.mdi-command-10' does not exist
Hi, I'm running EMC 2.2.8 and I'm trying to call an external program using 'halui. mdi-command-xx' commands in the ini file but it seems that EMC had a limit of 10 halui.mdi-command-xx. If I use commands up to 09 they are ok but when I add an other command I get the error pin 'halui.mdi-command-10' does not exist. Beyond 09 commands it is forbidden!!!??? Part of my ini file is: [HALUI] #MDI_COMMAND 0 MDI_COMMAND = M102 #MDI_COMMAND 1 MDI_COMMAND = M100 #MDI_COMMAND 2 MDI_COMMAND = M115 #MDI_COMMAND 3 MDI_COMMAND = M116 #MDI_COMMAND 4 MDI_COMMAND = M103 #MDI_COMMAND 5 MDI_COMMAND = G0 X-135 #MDI_COMMAND 6 MDI_COMMAND = G0 Y210 #MDI_COMMAND 7 MDI_COMMAND = G0 X320 #MDI_COMMAND 8 MDI_COMMAND = G0 Y-168 #MDI_COMMAND 9 MDI_COMMAND = G0 Z0 #MDI_COMMAND 10 MDI_COMMAND = M119 Can you help me Thank you Luigi -- Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
[Emc-users] Help! Axis runs hidden
Hi guys, today I started my machine and EMC2 didn't start automatically as all the days (it is in the start-up section) so I tried to launch it manually and I got the error "ECMC2 is still runnnig. Restart it". So I realized that the process was still active. I killed the running processes and restarted EMC2 but nothing happened. The problem is that I cannot see Axis interface... Axis and EMC2 are listed in the processes list (sleeping) but I cannot see the grafic interface. I tried to stop the processes and restart them but nothing changed. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, EMC2 2.2.8 All the other application are running correctly, only Axis is hidden. What can I do?

Re: [Emc-users] HOMING OFFSET SPEED
So, isn't G0 the final speed in EMC2 2.2.8 during homing offset? I was wandering because my machine moved correctly in G0 instead during the homing offset I noticed an axis stalling. Speed too high! I there the possibility to set it? I cannot upgrade my EMC because I made a lot modifications.

[Emc-users] HOMING OFFSET SPEED
Hi guys, I'm using EMC2 2.2.8 and I'm having troubles with the homing offset because I don't know where to setup its speed. My homing sequence is correct: when the limit switch is engaged (with speed HOME_SEARCH_VEL) the movement inverts (with speed HOME_LATCH_VEL ) and then, when it is released, the machine moves to the HOME_OFFSET point with a very high speed that I cannot setup. My homing section is: ... HOME_OFFSET = -5.0 HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -3.0 HOMING_LATCH_VEL =2.0 ... Is there a parameter to setup the homing offset speed?

[Emc-users] R: Re: Axis "program redrawing"
Hi Jeff,
I'm currently using EMC 2.2.8.
As you said I'm using the parameter #5399 just to read the analog value. This
value sets the dimension of my workpiece. The tool path changes following the
new set value but the program keeps on displaying the same workpiece.
Is there any solution?
Since my workpiece is very easy (a parallelepiped) I tried also to insert in
Axis a cube but I need to retreive the right dimensions first. For this purpose
I tried to use python commands as you mentioned in the mail archivie:
import commands
float(commands.getoutput("halcmd getp motion.analog-in-00 "))
It doesn't work, but probably I don't use this code in the right point... Can
you suggest me where to create an object to be displayed?
Regards
Luigi

[Emc-users] Axis "program redrawing"
Hi, I put in my pyVCP panel a "scale" object that is read in my pyvcp.hal as a "motion.analog-in-00" In my g-code this analog value is read by a M66 E0 L0 Q1 instruction ad it is used to modify a position value. It works great except then in the visualization of the program in "Axis". I would like to see the program changing when I move the scale (reloading the program as well) instead I can see changing only the path. Even if I reload the program [Control-R] I cannot see any difference, Is there the possibility to modify Axis in some parts just to see the program changing with the related analog value as above?

Re: [Emc-users] halui commands in M100 while program is running
Hi guys, thank you for your answers. I've already tried to use the MDI_COMMAND in the ini file to launch the M100 bash script but since I'm performing a homing I got an error: I cannot do homing in MDI mode. Now, since I can launch correctly my M100 program from terminal (./M100) , I would like to know how to link a pin with a bash script. Can I do somethik like this? net ./basch_script_file <= parport.0.pin. ??? Thank you Luigi -- Come build with us!

[Emc-users] halui commands in M100 while program is running
Hello, I would like to perform some halui commands while the program is running but I get some errors. For instance I put a M100 program at the beginning of my g-code just to make some checks before starting with the production. Here there is the code of my M100 program that should home my system. The problem is that I gat an error: "Can't do that (EMC_AXIS_HOMING) in auto mode with the interpreter reading." Just for this reason I used halui.mode.manual and halui. program.stop but the error is still on. Am I mistaking something? Thank you Luigi #!/bin/sh #homing halcmd setp halui.mode.manual True halcmd setp halui.program.stop True halcmd setp halui.joint.0.select True homed=$(halcmd - s show pin halui.joint.0.is-homed|cut -c 17) echo $homed if [ $homed = "F" ]; then halcmd setp halui.joint.selected.home True fi halcmd setp halui.program. run True halcmd setp halui.mode.auto True exit 0 -- Come build with us!
