Re: [Emc-users] Microkinetics MN400

I may be wrong, but I don't think it has been done yet. EMC already does what this card dose, and for the cost of ~$500, you could buy two PC's and get EMC for free. If you wanted to bypass the motion control in EMC, you could use EMC as a GUI and G-code interpreter, but you would then need to deve

Re: [Emc-users] Plasma I/O (John Thorton)

For plasma cutting is necessary secure a optional distance between the torch (cutting nozle) and cutted steel plate. The direction of this movement is around axis Z. The voltage, which is sourced from plasma source is voltage between cutted material and electrode (cathode) and he is variable accord

Re: [Emc-users] Spindle speed control with cnc4pc board

Lester, I first tried to get the required 12V from the kbic, but as this is only provided for with a zener (according to the schematics), it dropped to 6V as soon as the C11 board was connected. So bad option. As in the meantime the 5V-12V dc converter arrived (indeed from Farnell), I used that

Arturo, As promised, I tried to use stepgen to control the analog voltage. Below are the changes I did to the hal file. This seems to work ok, the spindle speeds indicated by emc are quite equal to the speeds indicated by the sherline DRO speed indicator. I quit my tests to use the solid state re
