This is a simple driver written in comp for the Advantech pcl720 ISA card as a result of a query on the forums. The card is in use in a gang-router recently converted to EMC2. It seems sensible to make it available to anyone else who might have the same card, even if it is a bit ancient. It is quit

Re: [Emc-developers] [PATCH 1/3] Add Support for the Mesa Hostmot2 Buffered SPI function.

2011-08-09 Thread Andy Pugh
This patch adds support for the Mesa 7i64 octuple servo driver, and also generic support for other SPI devices. It introduces a way for a sub-driver written in comp to interact with the core Hostmot2 functions other than via pins for situations where greater control and complexity is required. I

We had someone in irc asking as well, I suggested he create something like the plasma tool height comp but to compensate wear as he needed. But it gets complicated at bends etc as the offset vector depends where the material is. not trivial Dave Caroline On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 3:57 PM, andy pugh

[Emc-developers] Tool offsets

2011-08-09 Thread andy pugh
Where in the grand scheme of things are tool offsets applied? There have been two enquiries on the forum recently about adapting for tool wear in real-time. One, I think, was using a die-grinder in a milling style of machining, so needed adaptive tool-radius compensation (Or, at least, he thought
