Holmquist,
Do find out when the last major mechanical overhaul was done when you
encounter machines like this.
You will get into untold misery if you think that a retrofit of the
computer solves all ills.
Customers have this weird belief that the mechanical side is still as new
(because it did
Is the one-line lookahead statement also true blended paths?
And how does it apply to splines?
I find all this quite surprising, even grbl does lookahead over all the
lines in the buffer (and hence has a latency while trying to pause or stop)
Does somebody know if this diagram is whats linuxcnc
Roger,
the specifications of this machine just plainly state numbers of its
size etc. The control system is Sinumerik 6T like it was mentioned
earlier in this thread. It says, however, that the Z and X DC servo
motors take 2000 pulses per revolution, so the built-in control

SSERIAL will not start a 8I20 unless the 8I20 has its drive enable powered and
~45V motor power. (newer 8I20 firmware does allow starts under these
conditions)
Do I need also to connect the motor for 8i20?
Of course, I will need it, when I will try

Since none of the source files ever changed, none of the #ifdef

Kirk, that's pretty much the only reason for using make - to speed up
software builds which take too long if everything is done, even if only
one file has been changed.

I'm not kirk, but have you tried mplabX? I'd say the pickit3 will work the
best with mplabX currently.
Hi Erik:
I have down loaded mplab x.
Have you worked with mplab x and pickit 2, or 3??
I have pickit 2 and was woundering if it could be made to work under Linux
with mplab x.

at an IMTS , way back, when bubble memory 1st came out,
a booth had a 'sbc' pcb with bubble memory mounted in one of those
paint can shaker machines
to prove how 'industrial' it was :)
they'd turn the shaker on, shake the crap out of the pcb and it still
ran its program

I don't think so. For some reason the developers left the pickit2 behind
with X. What chip series will you be using?
I haven't had good results with my windows machine. I have a real ice and
icd3, but neither have played well with X. The advantage to a pickit3 is
that it is HID style usb, so
Since the last mail from december it has gotten really quite about this

Thanks Matt and Peter. I thought Smart Serial might be a marketing spin

No, its been designed to be real time from the beginning.

Interesting. That sounds like the IMTS show. I guess that bubble

cards fail back in the 70's and they were very, very expensive.
