AXIS doesn't pay attention to jog keys with modifier keys pressed
because this had some bad interactions with using the numeric keypad as
digits in MDI mode.
You can put magic incantations in the file ~/.axisrc that customize the
jog keys and also get rid of this behavior of ignoring the key if a

I have read your replies and am digesting. I will have to reread and digest

Hi Tom,
yeah, sorry.. I am listening ;)
There was an option for the ini file shortly called [IO] SPINDLE_MODE, but
it's removed now.
The upcoming emc2.3.0 version will allow to do what you want by default.
Nothing else you need to do, except help with beta testing ;)

Hi Jon,
I did this years ago. It is really pretty easy as the emc docs lay
out modal G codes pretty well. It really isn't too many lines of code.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the source and at one time it was in the
dropbox but could be retrieved today only if someone happened to
find an old

Greetings,
I've been lurking here for a few weeks and I'm starting to wonder if I'm
in the right place. I'm looking for a primer to help me understand the
recommended or possible hardware configurations that EMC will run. I will
be using stepper motors. I doubt I'll use much of the power
Actually it's pretty simple. There are a lot of instructions on that
page because there are quite a few ways of installing/building emc.
In a nutshell:
Start a terminal window and enter the following:
cd Documents
mkdir emc
cd emc
sudo apt-get install cvs
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z5 -d:ext:a...@cvs
Raymond,
My vote is YES - it is worth the effort.
After the learning curve the world opens up and you dream of
impossible things as they are now possible.

EMC can be run on something as simple as single step / direction drive
connected to the parallel port, or as complex as a 5 axis (capable of 9 last
i knew) servo machine with toolchanger and other goodies using a PCI card
for interface. I guess that in sim mode you can run as simple as it gets,

Tom,
It looks like his instructions was missing the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep emc2
sudo apt-get install build-essential libpth-dev
Then just to make sure you are in the correct folder:
cd ~/emc/src
./configure --enable-run-in-place
make
sudo make setuid

Raymond,
as you will understand from the other positive mails it is definitely
worth the effort.
Almost any stepper driver/motor combination is possible. I am using an
old Compaq PC, slower than 1 GHz and 512 (or 1 GB - I forgot) MB of
memory.
I am using stepper drivers with optical isolation
