That's smart! I can't do that. The servo drives are doing it all

This tested OK so I committed it for you. Thanks for contributing!

Thanks Adam,
I may have to take you up on that. I have been trying to find something
that runs in Linux but that has been a very short list.
Up to this point I have done all my design work in Linux and my day to
day stuff too. But this is an area that may not be covered. Would it be

Yes, but emc2.3.1 has some incompatabilities with
Just a small comment on the wiki documentation for G38.x, Add that when
using (PROBEOPEN filename.txt) the file is not automatically created by
emc (at least it seems not to on my system) so it must be created
manually beforehand. A very minor point but will save a wasted probe.

Thanks for all your help I have now got the probe working. I added a
pulldown resistor had to fiddle to get the right value 3.3k proved fine.

Hi,
If I got it right, I can use the emc2-sim without the rtai-modules installed,
right?
I want to use the simulator with axis for previewing on a normal computer.
I built the simulator from the emc2.3.1-tarball with '--run-in-place' and
'--enable-simulator'.
Now I am able to run emc with tkemc

Hi,
I am using EdgeCAM at the company and it works fine with our EMC controlled

Assuming you are using Ubuntu, and that the names you gave are correct, just
do
sudo apt-get install emc2-dev
That will automatically grab everything necessary.
If you are using dpkg, download all the required packages to a folder then
do something like
sudo dpkg -i emc2-dev g++ g++-4.2 libstdc++6

Sheetcam TNG can be had to produce 2.5D g-code for EMC using dxf files.
At present, I am not using emc, but am using Sheetcam and it works very well.

Yes, exact.
The goal of my question was to reduce the power consumption (save the planet

There are motor drivers that have internal logic to
automatically reduce the drive current while idle.
These will weakly hold position and run much cooler
when at rest. They can resume full power instantly when
a step pulse arrives. Of course, this is a feature
that the driver either has or does
Hello,
I'm trying to install emc2-dev and it depends of g++, g++ depends of g++-4.2

ok, now libstdc++6-4.2-dev depends of g++4.2 ???
Someone knows what happen?
Thanks.

No, not 'MIGHT'... it WILL. Been there, tried that... Not even servo

The best solution is to use drives which limit the idle current if
that is necessar

You don't want to do this.
In a stepper system,
Hi,
Does exist a way for automatically shutting off the power of the motors at
the end of a program (something like Mxx), in order to avoid a self heating
of the motors ?
Thanks
