Howdy all,
Perusing the doccy's while trying to troubleshoot a problem on my Z
axis, and I was playing around with the variables MAX_VELOCITY,
MAX_ACCELERATION, and STEPGEN_MAXACCEL. While the first two variables
are relatively self-explanatory, I'm having a difficult time figuring
out

In emc2 there are a couple of different linked together components.
MAX_VELOCITY and MAX_ACCELERATION are variables that are used by the motion
controller (trajectory planner to be precise) when doing calculations for
the next position the machine should go to.
If you have a servo machine the out

Thanks for the explanation of how those variables work together.
Now I understand how each comes into play. Perhaps your paragraphs
below could become part of the documentation? ;-) The current docs
just state what values those variables should be set to, without much of

Don,
Are you sure the card is actually at the 0x00 address? lspci -v
should tell you the correct address, I think. Folks that use this card
may be able to help you out a bit more, if the lspci command is not
correct. Something at that address is not loading.

Gentlemen,
A little progress on the handwheel tapping project.
The spindle motor encoder has pulses of 7200 per revolution in low gear.
This gives 20 pulses per degree. Not enough to be a real C axis. The number
of pulses may be limited by the spindle drive so I may try to tap into the
sign wav

Thank All;
The following are the results of lspci and lspci -v respectively.
The current printer CMOS setting is ECP.
Does anyone see a printer port?

Don, start with running Jon's program ppmcdiags. Do not try to
diagnose it with EMC2.
Start with 378 as the address.
My feeling is that PPMC is not communicating with the host PC.

Thanks Igor;
I have tried the USC diagnostics. They don't see the printer port also.
Apparently the CMOS settings are not getting the printer port into EPP mode,
or something, that is keeping everything from recognising the port while it
is
acting like a ECP printer port.
See Jon's last post and m

I am considering making a portable (read, mounted on a hand truck)
robotic sniper.
It would be a combination of EMC for positioning (two axes only,
horizontal and vertical plane), and a built in ballistics calculator.
The robot would be orientated (homed) according to landmarks, and
would be told
OMG! Now you'll have us all under the scrutiny of Homeland Security! Certainly
would make a great video though. Maybe even better than the volleyball.

Ed, thanks. My first idea is to make a very limited sector, where the
robot can shoot and limit it mechanically. So a bug, like calculating
bearing wrong, would not turn the robot around to kill its creator or
