2009-12-12 Thread Martin Pinkston
Ok. guys (and gals, if there are any.) I sort of like the idea of tearing into Hal to reconfig in order to get out what will work. I understand the principal of using the Hal scope to check signal traces, and Dale also said he has a scope I can use. So either way there would be o.k. with me. If

Hello everybody, I'm having a little problem with my stepper configuration. Turns out that I have two hand wheels (one for X and the other one for the Z) connected to my mesa board via the gpio pins and linked to an encoder emc module for pulse readings. When I use hal meter the two handwheels

[Emc-users] Time taken in the servo loop

2009-12-12 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
Is there any way to monitor the time spent processing in the servo loop? If I have a servo thread running every 1ms, is there a way to monitor how long it takes to do its work? I can see a few different time pins and parameters on different objects, does any of them do what I want? Thanks,
