[Emc-users] Poweroff

My PC doesn't power off when I do a "poweroff" or "shutdown -P", it just halts. I've searched the internet for solutions and they all seem to point to acpi and apm. When I try to run these tools, they both say no acpi/apm support built into the kernel. Is this a limitation of the emc2 rtai kerne

Re: [Emc-users] Remote control via emcrsh

Lars, As far as I know, there are none. It is mainly an interface for writing your own custom user interface. There are other means of configuring remote interfaces, the advantage of emcrsh is that it is independent of the emc version and OS on which emc is running and does not require the loading

[Emc-users] Remote control via emcrsh

I suppose some client application can connect via "emcrsh" to run a remote mill controller. What client can do that? (Really I am asking how to remote control a mill/EMC2/RTAI system.) -- The NEW KODAK i700 Seri

Re: [Emc-users] Jitter problem

I am running EMC2 on a dual core 64 bit. The installation is 32 bit and will not use both CPU's, yes. But it will run awfully fast anyway. Regards, Sven 2009/5/10 Douglas Pollard > I bought a used IBM Think Centre 3 ghz. intel chip that after a latency > test proved to be useless in running EM

Re: [Emc-users] Jitter problem

Doug, I use emc in virtualbox on my laptop. It seems to run just fine for testing. Virtualbox does not use the parallel port yet. Stuart Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -Original Message- From: Douglas Pollard Date: Sun, 10 May 2009 12:57:32 To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) S

Hello, I just used the first link for setting up Inkscape but the second link for downloading the python script (inkscape-gcode-0.0.2.tar.gz ). Anyway, I would be careful with my script mods, it works very good for me, but I am not an expe

[Emc-users] Jitter problem

I bought a used IBM Think Centre 3 ghz. intel chip that after a latency test proved to be useless in running EMC2. I also have an Hp dual core 64 bit machine that is my personal desktop machine. 2.4 ghz 1 g ram I thought EMC2 would not run on it. I recently saw someplace on line saying
