[Emc-users] compiling classicladder only

2007-03-18 Thread Chris Morley
Greetings.   I have been modifing classicladder- I wanted to fix a couple bugs and add a feature. I am VERY new to c programming ( read that learning by doing) so I really want to compile and link often to check what I have done. Is there a way to just compile/link classicladder while leaving the r

When you type "make", it's only supposed to recompile the parts of emc that changed. However, when you change the source code to one kernel module, the linux kernel makefiles insist on re-linking each module (I don't understand why). If you use the simulator (./configure --enable-simulator --enab

Hi Chris Thanks for taking up the task. I don't know of any public configurations that use w variables in CL. Neither demo_step_cl nor demo_sim_cl do. I will check the mazak before I fire it up with your revisions. I know that SWPadnos and others have worked on some turret position routines i

Ray For your info. The changes I made are of course not in any EMC branch- But are very easy- I think it was about 4 lines of code in one file. I don't know what the procedure or policy is for uploading changes but I could email the code to someone. As I said I am very new to programing and don't

If you don't enjoy the minutae of working with CVS, it's a great time to go back to using the prepackaged version -- updates to emc appear automatically. Otherwise, instructions to check out a fresh copy of the 2.1.3 source with CVS are on the wiki: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl

[Emc-users] handwheel over run

Gentlemen, In my limited experience with the handwheel control on this machine I see what I consider over run. I know it is the accumulated pulses the machine has not completed. When the handwheel is turned faster than the machine is able to respond the actual position lags behind the commanded

An approach that may work good for something like this might be to limit the following error for handwheel moves, and it could be a parameter that could be set by the user. Just a thought. Roger Neal - Original Message - From: "John Kasunich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Enhanced Machine

How about: IF following error is large (set by user?) AND handwheel counts have stopped increasing/decreasing for a short time (1/4 second? user set?) THEN stop the axis. Then slower hand moves will still move exactly (because small follow error) and very fast moves will stop before trouble arrive
