Gentlemen,
I have connected a wireless USB game pad to the dahlih. It worked -
but I didn't see much of a use for it on a small three axis mill.
All the buttons and levers were recognized and worked
I was able to manipulate the machine from more than 100 feet away.
(line of sight)
It is a Saitek P2

Not being an expert of EMC or Linux I'm not sure if the wireless ones

Hi, I have a bridgeport conversion that I did with both quill and knee drive.
I am using the trivkins module naming the axes X,Y,Z,A
I cannot change 'A' to 'W' without the program not misbehaving (will not load)
'W' is included in trivkins... why can't I call it 'W'?
Thanks,

Hello,
Can anyone suggest me a dealer or company that produces such
2-axis-rotary-tools that the axes hang on the Z axis so that the milling
tool would rotate in two directions. I need to use this method as rotary
tables can not be used due to lack of space.

Thanks all, I had missed that thread on 'the Zone' - I
don;t get time to trawl through it very often. I'm excited
by Marriss's latest offer on that thread though and hope
there is some way I can tap into it. I think I'll also have
a play with Emory's ideas and see if I can fry a few 3055's
has this come up?

Len,
The only thing I can think of is I did the example with 6.06... don't know if
that makes a
difference... If I get a chance I'll try it out on one of my 8.04 machines...

You should be able to substitute bigger output transistors and emitter/source
resistors for the originals. You might have to go to a lower resistance for the
resistors to "trick" the drive into not going into protection. Halving
their resistance
would allow 5 Amps from a circuit designed to limit a

If you read that whole post, you'll share everyone's disappointment.
Apparently there is a bug in that chip that causes incorrect microstep

It looks like the wiki page is in error. The correct loadusr line is
> loadusr -W hal_input -KRAL Dual
In the other order, halcmd wouldn't wait for hal_input to finish
starting up, so a subsequent 'net' command might happen before the
hal_input pins are created; the same would go for a 'show pin'
John,
EMC did work, but the "input" module was not loading and neither the input
section nor its pins appeared in the list under hal configuration.
As I recall, /var/log/messages reported *could not find "Dual"* or whichever
of the other names and ids I tried to use.
I will be at the shop later
