Re: [Emc-developers] Utilizing FPGAs for CNC controller

I ran your code on the 2.4 sim and after did a G53 G0 X0 Z0 and got what I expected DRO read X0 Z0. Next I did G0 Z1 and got Z0.0394 and sure enough I was still in G21 so I did G20 then G0 Z1 and got what I expected the DRO read X0 Z1 John andy pugh wrote: > I have found a rather odd behaviour

I used axis lathe sim and there no tool offsets for 3 or 4. I loaded some random offsets for X and Z on tool 3 and 4 and ran the file again. I switched the view to mm and did G0 Z1 and that is where it went. John andy pugh wrote: > On 16 June 2011 13:05, John Thornton wrote: > > >> Next I d

[Emc-developers] EMC and RT-Preempt

2011-06-16 Thread Michael Abel
Hello Folks, a few days ago I promised to set up a site with my work on the RT_Preempt version of EMC together with patches. The patch has the RT_Preempt patch from Michael Büsch and Jeff Eppler already included. I also added and (hopefully) improved some things. I had even less time on th
