[Emc-users] 5axhydrotelkins

2009-01-20 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen, I ask again would you peruse this file www.mpm1.com:8080/cinci/comps/5axhydrotelkins_work.c? This file does not have all the kinematics calculations in it. I simplified to allow me to verify small sections. The tool length calculations work. When I add the angle calculations the

[Emc-users] EMC2 Simulation

2009-01-20 Thread Dennis
I've got a small problem that I'm hoping you all can help me with. I have a dedicated computer in my shop running the RTAI kernel with EMC2, supporting a home-built 3-axis machine with steppers. That configuration runs great!! I just updated it to 2.2.8 last nite and everything appears fine

Actually, I discovered that someone I had apparently already documented a lot of this stuff on the wiki: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?DebuggingRtapi Including this item which is an important one: To make gdb find the source files, it seems necessary to use the

Okay, just a reminder of my setup on this particular machine... 15 widescreen Acer x163w monitor with a 1366 x 768 resolution. EMC and Axis work fine under Dapper, although the resolution is not right. Hardy gets the resolution correct, but the preview window in Axis streaks diagonally across

Kirk, I haven't created a payable account, but have watched it over the past few years. Seems to be a good service. They send out alerts of what jobs meet the criteria of your job shop (that you defined). Now when it comes to quoting, I have not done. Will Baden From:

Did Peter's watchdog fix in the config file and the num_stepgens thing fix all the problems you were seeing? Looks like that got me over the hurdle. I can turn outputs like the brake off and on now. Now to figure out how to and all the axis enable line into one and invert it to drive opto
