[Emc-users] Avoiding probe crash

2017-12-04 Thread 王若溪
I'm writing some auto measurement G-code program using my CNC mill and a touch probe. Seems that LinuxCNC doesn't want to stop when the probe is tripped during a non-probe move if the machine is running a G-code program. Currently, I'm replacing every non-probe move with G38.3. After it's execution

I just tested on my mill with master from a couple of months ago. Probe trips during G0, G1 and keyboard jog will stop the machine. Probe trips when using jog wheels are ignored. G0 and G1 were MDI but I guess it will work the same in auto. Les On 04/12/2017 17:38, Jon Elson wrote: But, I a

[Emc-users] Differential receivers for omron encoders.

I found the encoder pulse killer! Each input of that SainSmart board has a noise filter, which starts with a 100 nf capacitor to ground. In the form of a very tiny chip capacitor. Lifting one for effect, fixed that channel, so I excised the 3 that were on the encoder input channels. Now, at the

Too bad we don't have a halscope button to AC couple a channel. Looking at the velocity output of the encoder, at 300 revs, its so close to a flat line that at maximum gain and offset which still puts the active trace on screen, its one pixel from a flat line, so low its not possible to see an enc

Well, there's an update. Apparently an investor has come in and will reopen the Tech Shops fairly soon. I think it will be called Tech Shop2. There will almost certainly be some reorganization of the business model. Jon --

I saw this info, including a non-public letter to their investors. It declared an intent, yes.  BUT lemme say it's "out there". It does not look like a professional business move.  It doesn't look like it's even in accordance with acceptable business practices. They didn't file for chapter 13
