[Emc-users] Possible bug in Mesa 5I20 for polarity of DAC

2008-04-11 Thread How Lin Hoo
Dear all, I am currently implementing Mesa 5i20, 7i33 and 7i37 cards for my self-designed machine. I have a problem with regards to the polarity of the DACs from the Mesa 7i33 card.When I set the voltage of DAC to a value (example: 5V) using EMC, the DAC sent out from the 7i33 card is -5V

Is there anyone who has encountered the same problem? Is there is a possible bug in the Mesa driver? do you have an optoisolator somewhere between the fpga output and the DAC? optos tend to reverse the logic. - This

[Emc-users] 5I20 connection to 7i33/7i37

2008-04-11 Thread amtb
Hi I want to ask question about 5i20 and connection to 7i33 and 7i37 boards. Are there limits on length of cable that connect 5i20 to other boards? Can I use cable that 2 or 3 feet long, and will it effect over all performance of system? Thanks Aram

Speaking of which, I've noticed that in multi-file programs variables set in one file do not commute to subsequent files. That is: values set in one file don't propogate beyond that file. This seems kinda strange since the docs seem to indicate that each file bounded by %'s concatenate into one

[Emc-users] EMC2 Charge Pump

2008-04-11 Thread Greg Michalski
The manual(s) seem to be lacking on charge pump operation and this being my first foray into the world of CNC I have a couple questions: 1. Does the charge pump run non stop from the time you open EMC till you close it (or it crashes) or does it stop on E-Stop condition? 2. To add it to my setup

[Emc-users] Debounce component syntax for multiple groups

2008-04-11 Thread ejohnson
Hi all, The documentation for the debounce component shows the syntax as: loadrt debounce [cfg=size[,size...]] Trying various permutations, the only syntax I got to work so far was (for example): loadrt debounce cfg=3 2 I checked the various example configurations, but did not find one that
