[Emc-users] Creating a boot SD for a BeagleBone?

2013-11-20 Thread Chris Parsons
Nearly got there - but when I create the card image there are a couple of error messages - and the image will not boot the board? I have captured the (complete) output from creating the card and at the bottom I get a message Debug: Adding BeagleBone drivers from: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/

[Emc-users] Update HAL values without stalling motion

2013-11-20 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
For my 3D printer, I am currently using the existing M1xx convention to do things like set the extruder temperature and set the cooling fan speed. The problem is that this causes a brief pause in coordinated motion as the whole of LinuxCNC comes to a stand-still, my shell-script is executed to set

Charles you might find that any M code will cause a slight stoppage of the head as the M codes are not computed like gcodes with constant velocity in mind but rather as a separate command. Also it is not a motion command so there will be no motion when it is executed. If I was you I would look
