Re: [Emc-users] Looping and axis

hmm interesting chicken and egg problem the pre-interpretation done by linuxcnc has loads of benefits but it can have problems with undefined things ( where to trip on a touchprobe, where it will be when done- but in infinite loop so it never finished that calculation) better heads than mine

[Emc-users] Looping and axis

I use Linuxcnc for machine automation in my manufacturing lab, and am bothered by the difficulty of creating "infinite loops". I often want to have a machine sit an indefinite amount of time until a sensor signals it is time to make the next move. M66 lets me wait for a sensor, but requires a

Been using a Zyxel NAS-320 device with two WD Red hard drives, real hardware RAID, simple to setup, works straight away with Linux, and was inexpensive. Basic box was about $150.00 / $175.00 not including the drives. Been running non stop for at least two years. - Original Message -

Re: [Emc-users] raid NAS

geek's intro to NAS NAS are dedicated boxes that presents logical disk volumes on th net built out of local disks inside. They can talk many different protocols (SMB for windows, AFS for macs and NFS for linux.) They are usually configured to allow for disks to fail and be replaced. The disks in

Re: [Emc-users] Looping and axis

I believe the problem is not in a logical exit. Rather in the loading which interprets the infinite loop. The interp does not know you will set some exit condition. So it happily iterates till doomsday. And you is hung up my man! Help I am caught in a loop :-)

Re: [Emc-users] Looping and axis

Will the following work? # = 1 o101 while [# LT 2] o102 if [some condition] #=3 (exit the loop) o102 elseif [some other condition] (do something and reloop) o102 else (do nothing and reloop) o102 endif o101 endwhile Then you are giving a valid way out

Re: [Emc-users] raid NAS

This turned out to be longer than I wanted, but it addresses several issues. I hope it helps someone: The least expensive version of RAID uses two mirrored drives ( RAID 1 ). Others get a bit more complicated, but they are worth considering if you need larger amounts of storage. There are

Yep, That is one example. Usually the NAS box like you have listed below will have a processor and one or more NAT devices. Then you can add the hard drives that you like to the box. Some come with drives included. usually the OS on the box is a custom one that is based on Linux. Usually you
