Re: [Emc-users] 8255 driver

So here is what I have done.(Recommended by another user) The pci_8255 showed up in both components and functions but nothing in pins under Hal Configuration. So I commented it out and did this... In the m5i20_io.hal file - loadrt

Re: [Emc-users] 8255 driver

Hi Dave. Fascinating experiment. The ax driver is intended for a 48 IO ISA card but I'd hook up a switch to one of the inputs and see if it changes in the HAL. If it does then we can look into that iioo config stuff and see if we can expand. I'd try the switch on several of the

Re: [Emc-users] 8255 driver

Dave, that driver is for a 48 i/o thats all there is on the AX card ( 2 8255 chips) the Futurlec ( pci_8255) has 3 chips thus the diff in i/o points tomp - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference

Re: [Emc-users] 8255 driver

By default the outputs of the 8255 are pulled high by a 100K resistor. Jumper W1 will flip that. See pages 3-11,12 of the manual. Dave On May 3, 2008, at 7:27 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Dave. Fascinating experiment. The ax driver is intended for a 48 IO ISA card but I'd hook

[Emc-users] shifting gears

Gentlemen, I have the gear shift component working with a simulated machine. I have done a lot of shifting and testing on a simulated machine. It has not been vetted on a real machine. I expect it to work the first shot. Yeah right! :) When I load the shift component I see nan for the X

Re: [Emc-users] Four Parallel ports

Hi, EMC2's parallel port driver will drive up to eight parallel ports. Cool. Lots of I/O. Is there a preferred layout for multiple cards? Should all my step and direction be on one and misc I/O on the others, or one axis with associated limits and whatnot on each card? Does it matter? The

[Emc-users] Crash Logs and System Management Interrupt.

Hi, My computer keeps crashing, as in hard lockup. Everything freezes and it never comes back until I reboot. I don't even have to be doing anything. The same system will run Ubuntu 7.10 no problem, but it sure does not like the EMC BDI install. When I run the latency test I see what

Re: [Emc-users] CNC-Workshop

I'd love to come to the workshop, hopefully transportation and funds will permit. If i can come, i will hopefully bring some of my axis servos and drives and maybe the VFD off of my machine, just to play with. if i actually have it running at that time i might not be able to, but i dont know.

Re: [Emc-users] 8255 driver

I tried a switch and resistor as shown in the NI manual. I set all of the 48 pins to input before I did this in the hal file. Using hal show/watch I couldn't see any change in the pin status for all of the 48 pins. Could this be an address issue? the pci address for the DIO 96 is showing as

[Emc-users] minimal install

Gentlemen, I asked a question about Ubuntu, xorg and EMC a few weeks ago. I think I just found my answer. When EMC was running xorg was using up to 98% of the CPU. The computer was very slow and jumpy. The DELL desktop 1 gig processor w/ 512meg ram and the onboard video output with 4 meg of ram
