Thanks. The instructions are also relevant to SSDs. SSDs use the same
flash technology as CF cards.

That method simply copies the live cd to your drive. It remains read
only so you can't update any packages. I use a setup like this on my
file server as it is pretty crash and hacker proof. Pretty much no
matter what happens, the OS is protected and a reboot will get
everything working again.
Cool, nice work!
But why not use a solid state disk? Pretty price worthy these days.

If you use casper, your CF card will be written to much less often.

This link talks about a usb stick, but would work. It uses the same special
filesystem as the live cd's persistence mode - i.e. changes are written to a
separate partition. I'm pre
After some more testing, this is what stepconf generates:
net estop-out charge-pump.enable iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
This does not seem to work. I changed it to this:
net estop-out iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
setp charge-pump.enable 1
and as expected the CP starts as soon as EMC starts. This a

I used the 8.04 Live CD with no updates. I now have it installed on a
CF card and I'll give it another go once it has finished updating itself.

Yes I'm using EMC2. What you have written I have already done but nothing
worked. Could bee a problem in the files?
I'm pretty new tho EMC2 end controlling machines with it so i don't know
much.
Here are the files that I'm working with so if you have the chance to look

Hi John,
I used an oscilloscope to look at the pin and nothing was coming out.
Looking at the hal file, it looks like stepconf didn't connect the
charge pump to the e-stop. I'll do some more testing once I get Ubuntu
installed on my CF card. Running off the CD is a bit of a pain.

Jeff,
Already did that. Both Axis and TkEMC work flawlessly, unless of course
emcrsh is running at the same time. Further, it only seems to happen when on

I assume that you are using emc2 installed from our cd, and updated to
the latest version via the network.
When running emc from the terminal, you would type something like this:
cd ~/emc2/configs/my-mill
emc my-mill.ini
to run the my-mill.ini configuration in ~/emc2/configs/my-mill. You

Hallo
I'm Robert Lovreković a student of electroengenering and I'm trying to power
some motor with EMC2. I did it with stepconf wizard and it worked but now i
have to write the ini file and hal. I have some files written but i cant
start the file
If you think you already have circumstantial evidence that emcrsh is
implicated, then maybe you should try with a traditional GUI and without
emcrsh to see if the problem exists there. Either way, the result would
help narrow down what parts of the system you should be looking at.

you might look for different video drivers? I dont know what chipset you
have or if its onboard or a card or what, but maybe it would affect cpu
usage to play the video?
