Gene, Why use 12 or 24 volt motors when 5volt or less are
readily available? These lower voltage ones are often used
for simple PIC projects or in toys and would give less
problems as an input for the comparators. Presumably you
could protect the inputs by putting a pair of zener diodes
I was playing around tonight with EMCrsh, simply typing commands into a telnet
window and thinking about potential remote interfaces, when I came across an
odd behavior.
When I issue:
SET JOG 0 10
the X axis begins moving at 10 ipm in the negative(?) direction. When I then

This is now fixed in v2.4_branch and master.
My thought is a pyvcp panel will do what you want. If you want it on a
separate panel you may be able to use another monitor to display the pyvcp
panel.

The documentation under /handbook is for historical interest only and
are no longer updated. It describes a much earlier version of emc than
the current emc 2.4.

Nice, thanks, though I was hoping to get something of the size of a

And that looks to be even smaller, small enough to begin to be difficult to

Which means this safe zone would require a rather fine grained resolution in

There are other solid simulations available. It would be an interesting

Chris' page tells us to use the '-l' option to turn on filling, but I

I've assumed its a numeric argument and tried powers of 10 ranging

Check to make sure block delete isn't on. It puts / in front of the

All HEDS encoders should be compatible. Possibly you'd need pull-up
resistors,
but I don't think you even need that. These are not differential, so if

feed them into an encoder counter, you'd need to
