If I remember, the file tort.ngc was generated by a python script named
"torture.py", and it was a test for the trajectory planner, "tort" stands
for "torture"...
But I don't remember if that script is included with the official release of
EMC2, or only in the CVS-TRUNK.
Greetings,

There is some form of that script in scripts/torture.py -- but I am not
100% sure that this is the exact version used to generate
nc_files/tort.ngc.

Hi, Folks:
I've recently begun using EMC under Ubuntu from a live CD built about
six months ago. I understand that an update is available for automatic
installation via the internet.
I'm curious what exactly does the installer update. For example, I've
modified the icon on the screen to use
I'm retrofitting an Anilam lathe with EMC2. My spindle encoder is
connected to a shaft in the gearbox that rotates 1 turn for every 2
turns of the spindle. The encoder I have is 1000 line, should give 4000
counts per encoder revolution, 2000 counts per spindle revolution. The
potential probl

Thank you guys! I do suggest this be moved to nc_files with the other
gcode generating .py scripts.
Thanks Again,

It's in emc2/scripts in HEAD, probably also in the latest releases.
Thanks,

I was wondering how the spindle sync works, roughly anyways.
It sounds like emc uses the counts between index to track the spindle.
then the index must be just to reset the count and as a starting point for
threading.
How does the tracking work ? Check that every pulse the Z axis has moved a

I am considering working on converting my 1 HP Bridgeport mill

I have been a Linux user since early 1995 and try to avoid Windows for

I have a couple of questions.

The index is used to start the threading pass; during the pass the
spindle position is constantly read from the encoder, which is
scaled into turns (one rotation = 1
Hi i
I'll start an answer. I'm pretty sure that others will break in with added

I plan to use spindle speed control in my part programs. I also would
like to use the best spindle gear selection for the proper cutting speed
