The 100 value is hardcoded in emc/motion/command.c. FWIW I disagree with the comments and think that the value should probably come all the way from NML, not from HAL. But either way, you can get what you want by changing the hard-coded 100 to a different value. 1500 case

I'd say I disagree with the whole idea of SPINDLE_INCREASE/DECREASE We should just take it out and let the GUIs add/subtract a value and send that as the new speed preset. That way users can have it as an option, or whatever. Regards, Alex On 4/18/2010 9:50 AM, Jeff Epler wrote: The 100 value

Hi I want to ask about electric current that turns AC servomotor in EMC2. I think EMC2 works like that: Tool move with lowest electric current. When tool is encounter resistance from work part etc. EMC2 increase electric current to overcome that resistance. Increase electric current translates

Hi Dave, I got the 2.4.0~pre packages from here http://emc2-buildbot.colorado.edu/~buildmaster/dists/hardy/ and followed the information provided by Sebastian Kuzminsky on 19 Mar 2010. Unfortunately I do not have enough space on the EMC2 computer to install the source so for now I will use what

Now for another touchy question. The file emc_interface.py appears to be the link between touchy and emc2. What or where is the emc side of this link? I am thinking of experimenting with either another new user interface which is more in line with my simple CNC machines. I would like to know

A servo system like you are using runs torque (amps) up or down depending upon how big the difference between commanded and actual position is. That delta is computed in the EMC but is implemented by the motor drive. The tuning of your motor drive is a critical part of what you want. The

The Axis interface is also written in Python.. do a search for axis.py and I think it will pop up. There is a lot of Axis related code. Browse through it, and you may find what you are looking for. If you want more direct access to the developers, you should sign up for the EMC IRC.I

Lots of machines have a rotary knob that goes from 50% to 150% of spindle speed. In my experience that works out rather well in practice. Jan On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 9:42 AM, Alex Joni alex.j...@robcon.ro wrote: I'd say I disagree with the whole idea of SPINDLE_INCREASE/DECREASE We should

Aram, I think what you are talking about is a torque limit, which generally translates into a current limit on a servo drive. Internally, many or most servo drives have a current loop, then a position loop outside of the current loop, and finally a velocity loop on the outside of that.
