Re: [Emc-users] Home and Limit Switch Setup in Stepconf

Thanks for the concise answer. I would agree that you don't want to limit the machine, as much as possible. None the less, I did have to compromise with the input pins. I think, I have a workable and logical setup as it is. Separate switches to home each axis individually and ganged max limit

Re: [Emc-users] Home and Limit Switch Setup in Stepconf

Dean, If I got a report about these problems in 2.2.2, I lost it. Can you let me know what problems you encountered? I do know of some homing problems in 2.2.1, but the ones I know about were fixed in 2.2.2. Jeff - This

Re: [Emc-users] Home and Limit Switch Setup in Stepconf

I am using 2.2.2 What kind of bugs? Is it possible to edit the conf file manually? Can EMC handle sharing the home and min. limit switch on each axis individually? Of course, I would like to avoid rewiring. Thanks, Chris Dean Hedin wrote: Chris make sure you are up to version 2.2.2 There

Jon, This morning I was able to get it working. yesterday not working - module will not load - other sims run diags not able to see the boards change bios from EPP to ECP - I know it is supposed to be EPP - it was EPP in the first place diags not able to see the boards run

---BeginMessage--- ---BeginMessage--- Hello.. shared home and limit is no problem in EMC2, that's the config i use the most on my machines. here is the pinout for an triac denford that i have retrofitted. This config is using one pin for each axis with two NC switches acting as limit, when

Re: [Emc-users] Is it possible to disable video to fix latency issues

I can't say for certain, but it sounds like just a processor power issue. The process may even show a lot of idle time. Whats most important is how quickly the processor responds to the real-time interrupt request, and that a non-maskable interrupt hasn't taken priority over it. The older

I'm pleased to announce version 0.1 of m7i43_hm2, a HAL driver for the new Mesa Electronics 7i43 board with the HostMot2 firmware (short for Host Motion Control 2). Information about the 7i43 is available at http://mesanet.com/, click on MOTION CONTROL on the left and scroll down to the 7i43

Re: [Emc-users] [Fwd: [Fwd: Shared home and limit]]

Thank you, Bjorn, I will look closely at your .ini file examples. When I say 'shared home and limit' I mean physically the same switch. I see that you address that. This will give me something to start from . Chris Bjrn Kristiansen wrote: Subject:

Re: [Emc-users] Is it possible to disable video to fix latency issues

Interesting. The processor is an Intel Celeron 433 Mhz. RAM is only 256 megs (I have to allocate 2 to the onboard video). When I run the latency test over a remote X11 connection I get significantly better scores (and the UI is much more responsive) than when using the local display

Hi, I've installed EMC 2.2.1 onto an old PC from the BDI CD. The system works fairly well even though it is low on RAM and slightly under powered. When I run the RTAI Latency test however I get overruns, and EMC itself refuses to run because of real time errors. After reading some of the
