I worked on this quite a while ago (before emc2) and using step &

encoder input. It worked then, and probabley is even better and easier
now. I don't know if that dro card schematic is still available.
Unfortunately my machine b
For emc2.1 systems with manual tool change, I recommend using
'hal_manualtoolchange'. This is demonstrated in the 'sim/axis'
configuration. When you issue a tool change g-code like 'M6 T1', the
machine goes to a location defined in the INI, then a dialog appears on
the screen with a button for yo
First post here, I hope I don't mess up :-)
I began using emc2 for my little PCB milling about a month ago. It's
great! It works very well, and best of all I can use networking of linux
to get files, as opposed to floppy and DOS with turbocnc.
I have a little question though. When comes time t

Dear All,
I have the current EMC2 2.1.0. and a Mesa 5i20 board. How can I
implement a
hardware FRO control? And while I'm asking questions, can I use the 4th
encoder inputs
for a Handwheel or MPG?
Thanks in advance,
can anyone recommend an open source program that converts a set of more
readable instructions to G-code?

Hi David,
I documented some of my jogwheel hardware and HAL code on
Exactly what do you want to do or make? 2 dimensional cut outs or
cutting surface patterns(often called 2 1/2D)? complex 3D object?
Translators are available from HPGL (HP's plotter language also used to
make printer graphics) for 2 1/2 D work.

Jon Elson has some C programs to generate G-code for simple operations:

I couldn't find an example emc setup in the EMC2 distribution that I could use
very readily for my particular setup.
What I have is a Bridgeport which has an old "Bandit" CNC. I intend to salvage
its stepper drivers which each require a quadrature input along with an enable
signal. Therefore, I
It's a bit hard to have all possible examples included in the emc2
distribution.
On the other hand things are very nicely explained in the
User Manual (included already) so it shouldn't be too hard to set
things up as you need them.
Regards,
Alex
