Rondal, Wouldn't hurt to have at least 512 MB memory, but memory is so cheap these days, you might as well get a 1 GB chip. Mark At 08:05 PM 9/2/2009, you wrote: >I new it was time for that gravity check. I new it was slow but >didnt know that slow. I will go out and get a faster mach

[Emc-users] (RTAI?) error on initial attempt to tickle 5i20

I'm running ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj12-i386.iso on a Jetway 7F2WE1G5S-OC-LF (listed on the wiki), which unsurprisingly passes the latency test: Servo thread jitter: 8904 ns ; Base thread jitter: 8435 ns, with 4 x glxgears running, and moving stuff about. So I plugged in my shiny new 5i20, and p

Hi all, The documentation here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/gcode_main.html#sec:M62-to-M65: Describes the use of M62-65 (really only M64 and M65, the user's manual states that M62 and M63 are not implemented) as follows: To control a digital output bit, program M- P-, where the M-word

Hello Eric, please have a look at the motion.digital-out-XX pins in hal and the num_dio parameter to the "loadrt motmod" line if the default number of 4 dio pins is not enough. I think the num_dio parameter is a fairly recent feature enhancement, so you should run a 2.3.something version to use

Re: [Emc-users] (RTAI?) error on initial attempt to tickle 5i20

To solve 'rtapi: no version for "nano2count" found' problem: * add the Module.symvers output of RTAI into the kernel's Module.symvers file * add a link to RTAI modules directory in kernel's module directory * depmod -a * compile EMC2 For my system, these are as followings: cp /usr/src/linux/Mod

Eric, Is that an older users manual your refering to that states the M62 and M63 are not implemented? I don't see that in your link to current documents. Thanks for catching that the P word was not described fully. John On 3 Sep 2009 at 10:13, Eric H. Johnson wrote: > Hi all, > > The docu

John, I believe this is the current user's manual: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/EMC2_User_Manual.pdf Page 120, at the top says: M62, M63 not implemented M62 and M63 are not currently implemented, but may be added to a future release of EMC2. Back about page 97, it does describe how M62 and M63 shoul
