Re: [Emc-users] hal_input question

I successfully downloaded and installed hal_input and linux_event.py At least the loadusr hal_input line appears to be accepted without saying that a file is missing. Thanks Kirk! My homebrew USB device identifies itself as a mouse with three buttons. Thinking that I might have an error in my

That gets me further. Hal_input now complains that it cannot access the device. I guess I now need to figure out the appropriate udev command. Thanks for the link! > -Original Message- > From: Kirk Wallace [mailto:kwall...@wallacecompany.com] > Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2017 3:54 PM >

Re: [Emc-users] 6I24 PCI or 7I80 Ethernet?

Hi JT, Looking through your website the 7I92 + 7I77 combo looks promising. It would definitely work for the mill but I need to check if there are enough I/Os for the router. I also have a suspicion the current control on the router switches to ground rather than +24. Les On 14/01/17 15:20,

[Emc-users] New successor to the HB04 wireless mpg?

I have all sorts of love for the HB04 wireless mpg. I saw there's a new successor: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-MACH3-Wireless-Electronic-Handwheel-4-Axis-Manual-Controller-USB-Handle-MPG-/201698782859?hash=item2ef62f2e8b:g:whUAAOSwUEVYDeBn Got mixed feelings. A dot matrix LCD is AMAZING, if

A little intro: I have computer experience with Windows (API programming) and assembler on several micros. However I am **very** new to Linux so please excuse my stupid newb questions. I am trying to use a homebrew USB device with LinuxCNC/PathPilot. My device appears to the system as a HID and I

I should probably start a new thread here but there is definitely a similarity in the noise problem. In my jet 9 x 20 conversion I was getting lots of noise spikes on my spindle encoder feedback to the 7i78 card. I went through all the regular suspects, grounding, shielding twisted pair etc.

Hi Les, I have both of those in stock at http://mesaus.com/ The cool thing about the 5/5i24 is you can connect an Opto 22 base to one port and have a lot of I/O. JT On 1/13/2017 5:09 PM, Les Newell wrote: > I have a couple of rebuild projects coming up (a router and a milling > machine) and

It would be good with links like this on the linuxcnc home page and of course even better with files themselves if there are no copyright restrictions. I have attachad a pdf-file which is interesting. On Sat, 14 Jan 2017 09:08:03 +0700 TJoseph Powderly wrote: > Nicklas,

Re: [Emc-users] 6I24 PCI or 7I80 Ethernet?

Thanks Sam, The router's servo drives are old and probably wouldn't gain any benefit from going greater than 1kHz. The mill is a bit more up to date but again 1kHz is probably enough. It's not a high speed machining centre. Chris, the hardware does the very fast stuff such as encoder counting
