I am using TkEmc (little modifed) interface. I am not editing the file outside of EMC. I have created a proc (given below) and set binding to Ctrl+x,y,z to set G54 offset. proc setXAxisOffsetWithHotkey {} { set Tmp [emc_mode] set string [format G10 l2 p1 X %f\n [emc_abs_cmd_pos 0]]

Most of the times the computer is shut down from menu (shut down), but some times just power goes (load shedding in Pakistan). This also happened when I set the offsets and restarted the computer myself? I have not tried from Set_Coordinates.tcl though. I am setting it using a procedure binded

After you save the work offsets, how are you shutting down your computer? Most of the times the computer is shut down from menu (shut down), but some times just power goes (load shedding in Pakistan). This also happened when I set the offsets and restarted the computer myself? I have not

[Emc-users] bug(s) in 2.4.6 using Gantrykins?

2011-09-21 Thread Tom Easterday
I am using 2.4.6 with Grantrykins config to drive a gantry machine with 2 motors on the Y axis. I have tuned the machine and it seems to run fine, almost... Using MDI, I can command any position at speed up to about 3300ipm. Or, I can run ngc programs to exercise the gantry all day long.

[Emc-users] A new hope for an old laptop : Compiling a new kernel?

2011-09-21 Thread Alfredo Sola
Good day, I have used the Ubuntu 8-based EMC2 succesfully in an old Compaq Armada 500, no (big) problems. I have found it quite useable (at least the basic features I understand) for my hobby use, which I appreciate a lot. However, on upgrading to Ubuntu 10 (as per the

I have a machine which was delivered with a Toshiba VFD and 0-10V speed control plus lots of other pins for this and that I switched it to modbus, adapted the gs2 driver to this http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/vfs11-vfd.git and get much better control over the thing as before so far that's

Thanks for all the replies. I don't think I made my concerns clear. I was planning to use Modbus only as the control to start/stop/set speed and was concerned if something caused EMC to stop, the last Modbus command would be left running. I missed the start fwd/start rev inputs in the manual.

searching for emc2 gives the right results but there are page titles like Adobe Acrobat 9 Problems — Sale -127% price off and other spammy spam Rather than the regular CnC goodness. I've seen others as well for stuff in the forums. I asked a few other people to check it and they have seen the
