[Emc-users] ISO Torrent?

2011-06-27 Thread Peter Loron
Hello, group! Question for all: Is there any interest in making the ISO available via torrent? When I first went to get EMC2 a few weeks ago, I looked for a torrent. Finding none available, I went ahead and downloaded the ISO directly. Recently I (and others) helped a list member get the ISO

Sorry for top replying. They are step/dir, so you can get rid of the interface board. Here is a data sheet http://www.servo-systems.com/pdf/ib10x_091803.pdf Pretty sure they just use a common L298 driver. No micro-stepping. 1.8 degrees per step is 200 in full step/400 in half step. Pitch is

Andy - per your bottom assumption, and the fastest way to get things up and going: yes you'll probably want to remove the serial (if it truly is serial) to step-driver motion controller board from your system. The beauty is that the IB106's (although discontinued) are plain ol' stepper drivers,

I would support a permanent ISO (plus MD5 or other) torrent. I'm helping seed the ISO now, we have 10 seeders and 1 leecher. I've seen it as bad as 4 seeders and 2 leechers, still good. My bandwidth is very limited though, so I can't help much. If a permanent torrent is started, I'll put it in the
