it is quite obvious that a good incooporation to emc would be:
1) give them a specific file extenions eg : .cgc
2) have your filter expect the code from standard input e.g. std:cin
3) use the Filter section in theconfig/devicename.ini to form a connection
between your extension and the converter

Karl,
Now that's pretty neat! Though I gotta tell ya, that foam on the FedEx
package kinda looks like baby doo-doo.
What exactly will the finished product look like or do? Will the foam,
while in liquid state be poured into some kind of shape? And do you
have any control ove

Yes, that ought to work too (though I would prefer that the gear

Yes, but if you paint it gold it makes it look beautiful :)

It expands freely, though pos
I don't know on which "magic" system you work, but on my linux nearly
everything runs on file extension :)
It enables a lot of usefull features, e.g. the filtering in emc.

Interesting. On most of my Unix boxes, I can make a text file
executable by simply changing the permissions. I can make a no
extension file opened by a certain program by simply changing an
environment variable. Unix gives you all the flexibility and options
you could ever want or need, and

Very funny! A degree does not, unfortunately, imply common sense.
I think the UV catalyzed foam is a good idea. However, the faster it
cures the more localized the heat of reaction will be.

A readily available solution.

There is also a 'minimally expanding foam' available at big box home
improvement stores
for putting in confined spaces like around existing door, etc. It is
for places where excessive
expansion can cause problems (like in the ends of canoe's! ... great
post ... I loved the visual).

The spindles are linked in HAL, not on G-Code. This means that they
keep synch even when there is no program running.
Ho
Thanks for all the comments about CGCC!
Lots of different ways to skin a cat. Lots of different languages that can
be used to generate GCode too. I don't think any one language is better
then any other.
I added a new page with more information on what CGCC can actually do

This is what worked: using ddt to spot a change in the tooth count,
then resetting the encoder and latching a new offset into the step
Statistically you will loose as many steps going forward as you will going
backwards, sending the machine to 0,0 will not guarantee that you have not
lost and made up steps throughout your job.

Thanks for all the useful information everyone.
I'll be sure to investigate the UV adhesive and different types of foam.

In my experience with steppers that are running on the edge
(mechanically or electrically), they almost never lose steps the same
amount in both directions.
Best thing I can think of doing is to put a 1" dial indicator on the
questionable axis, write a test program or better yet, patch an

I'm trying to build EMC2 on Ubuntu 9.10, Kernel 2.6.31.
When I run ./emc2-insatll.sh, I get this:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been creat
Note that when I did the wget of the install script, I got the Hardy
version, as there didn't appear to be a Karmic version.
wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy/emc2-install.sh
Was this the correct thing to do?
