Doug,
I've seen the responses from other stating it's "kind of OK as long as
you watch out".
Well, I can tell you it's not OK.
Use the cable for anything but steppers, servos, encoders, limit or home
switches etc.
I have seen problems even when the spindle's VFD signals and stepper
cables were
If your configuration uses hal_joystick, it will not work in 2.3.0.
This issue was reported before, and it will be fixed in 2.3.1, but
that's not released yet.
If your configuration uses hal_input, then as far as I know it'll work
properly in 2.3.0.

You will have to be careful as they will talk on other lines. You can
also limit the effect on homing switch issues and things along that
like when you add a ceramic capacitor across the lines of the homing
or similar switches. That flattens out the spikes nicely.

Thanks. I'll have a bash at it tomorrow and see if I can get it working.

I bought some cable to run stepper motors off of. I was told it was
shielded. It is not. If I try to use this am I going to have problems
caused by stray signals or static? Is it likely to be alright or am I
looking for trouble??

What issues? Using what component?
I've been using halui and hal_input as shown on this page:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant
for over a year with 2.3 (cvs trunk) with no problems.

I have a lathe set up with a single index signal on the spindle. I
believe that it is possible to do single index threading with emc but
looking on linuxcnc.org I didn't find much info. Has anyone done this?
I fully understand that a single pulse per rev is not ideal but this is
a large machine
hi
i am just implementing the tool changer and i would like to know when
setting the current tool with
M61 Q02
this should set current tool in spindle to T02
will this also set the iocontrol.0.tool-number = 2
as when issuing the above the tool-number value did not change from 0 to
2 as exspected
I just set it up yesterday with 2.3 and no issues whatsoever. All Hal
inputs are triggering and the 'Logitech Ghetto Pendant' works perfect
for what it is!

I played with using an OpenOffice spreadsheet to manage my tool table.
It looks like it may be handy, but I need to learn more about OpenOffice
in order to create a macro or something similar to automate the .tbl

I'm using a gamepad in 2.2.8 as a pendant. I've heard rumors of
issues with this in 2.3?
Are these still issues?

I did that and it worked as described in the upgrade guide. No issues here..

I was inspired by Rainer to move from hal_joystick to hal_input.
I didn't use the joyhandle component specified in the wiki, and used a
config similar to the Remote_Pendant config in the wiki.

Hi All,
I am currently at wits end and need some help from some people more
knowledgeable than I.
For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to customize GS2_vfd.c (as well as
modbus.c/.h) to work with my VFD which is a Huanyang HY02D223B. (The manual is

Perhaps your using the hal_input component specified in the wiki and not the
hal_joystick?
My configuration is based on hal_joystick and this is what isn't loading.
I've tried on the previous version to get my joypad working with hal_input
but just couldn't get it to work, hence the use of hal_joys

Now I have internet access for my computer. And I installed software as
