I read this article in Machine Design a while back and thought it was very interesting. It was reprinted in their 2010 product locator, and I thought y'all would appreciate it. I also thought that if there were no patent issues, this might find it's way into EMC2. http://machinedesign.com/art

2010-05-29 Thread Jeff Epler
In the software and hostmot2 encoders we use a different technique for improved feedback. The arrival time of the last encoder edge is recorded and used to generate a high-quality velocity estimate; that velocity estimate can optionally be used to calculate a sub-count interpolated position. Exam

Having previously made the 2.4.0 pre version on my Opensuse system I thought I would download the latest 2.4.0 release and make that. I used git to download the files, ran autogen and configure and make. This time I got an error see output below. Could anyone explain why this should happen? I do no

[Emc-users] Tool Table Size Limit?

2010-05-29 Thread Ed Nisley
In Axis 2.4.0, is it true that the tool table can have only 48-ish entries? I'm drilling circuit boards from Eagle layouts, using a script that extracts all the holes, sorts them by drill diameter, then visits each set in nearest-neighbor order. The problem is that Eagle's part libraries have
