Re: [Emc-users] Spindle control panel breaks LinuxCNC?

2016-06-28 Thread Danny Miller
Well, I recreated it and confirmed cycling VFD power without rebooting LinuxCNC makes the spindle run again. I looked into the HAL after the "Spindle CW" button breaks everything: enable TRUE is_alarm FALSE is_at_speed FALSE is_ready TRUE is_running TRUE reverse FALSE run TRUE watchdog_out TRUE

Hi all; Dave Cole got me started looking at our docs on screw compensation which I would like to be able to use on both the little monster and on the 11x42 Sheldon once I get it tightened up enough to worry about screw error. That is goiung to be a project, all the bronze nuts are quite close

Hi Guys, I'm trying to apply a screw compensation file to the X axis on a waterjet running LinuxCNC 2.64 The screw is about 94 inches long and has some major deviations in pitch. All together the maximum error is about 0.150 over the length of the screw and that is if the scaling is set so
