I have a Haas 5C rotary indexer. It can be programmed (kind of like you program a VCR) to perform a angular motion upon pressing of a button. It also has a facility of a "remote button", so that the button can be "pressed" by the CNC control. My question is what are the facilities in EMC to handle

I think I just screwed it into the parallel port on the back of the computer when I tested one. I might have needed a gender changer I can't remember. Ray was going to send it back but I think he forgot so I'm just going from memory. John Mark Wendt (Contractor) wrote: > Dave, > > T

Hi Mark, I guess they intended you to mount the board using the DB25 connectors - remove the tapped nuts, cut a DB25-shaped hole in a panel and pop the nuts back to hold the board to the panel. It the metal of the panel is not too thick - i.e. it is like the metal strip at the back of a PCI

Ries, I posted a link in my reply to Dave, which has a picture of the board with connectors. The problem is the placement of the DB 25 male and female connectors on opposite sides of the board. Probably makes the design of the pcb easy, but it sure makes it difficult to mount the durn thi

Dave, Thanks for the suggestions. Problem with the board the way it is, is the DB25 connectors are on opposite sides of the board. A much better design would have had the DB 25 connectors mounted on the same side, so that you or I could mount the board to the control box case, and h

I am not sure the shape of the board, buy you can buy little plastic and metal boxes that have little slides. You simple slide it into place and put the lid back on. You could also make from metal or plastic these slides easily yourself. I wouldn't use glue or tape, because that's just messy. bu

[Emc-users] Minor glitch in latest Stepconf Wizard

I've been slowly configuring my new PC to take over the reins of running my machine, and noticed a minor gotcha in Stepconf. This is off the latest Live CD - Ubuntu 10.04 and EMC2 v2.4.3. When the 2nd parallel port is activated in the wizard, the "in" or "out selection results in the opposite
