Why not use a simple physical switch to switch between the two? My probes are a
RJ45 phone cable wire so I can switch probes easily since I have one for auto
tool height probe mounted to my mill table and a probe with an alligator clip
for testing the heights of aluminum stock.

I recently hooked up a probe to my machine at a certain location on the table
when I change a tool it will go and measure the tool height and adjust it. It
works great. After repeated trials I find it is only sometimes off by half a
mil to a mil most and it is s convenient! When it works...
Oh nevermind! :) I found another build help and it mentioned the ./autogen.sh
script that created the missing file!

Hi,
I am following the compile scripts and I searched this list history and I can't
find the answer. I am getting a missing config.h.in while trying to
./configure from source I obtained from git and compiling on 9.10. I downloaded
the dependencies and I am getting to the end of the config
I am a command line guy too. I'm not sure why you want the text login over the
default gnome login, though I do understand the desire for a more lightweight
window manager like XFCE or to have EMC be a full screen window and hide the
window manager extras.
Apt-get install your desired window
I used one that looked like the original xbox joysticks. Cost $20 at best buy
and relatively easy to setup. I use it *a lot*! I can send you my files if you
want. A quick edit to your ini file and you are underway.

I just wired up a touch probe last weekend for the first time. It was pretty
easy. No special wiring, I simply wired a gator clip to one of the inputs on
the parallel port (but if I touch the probe to a bad spot itll fry the input so

Today I made a simple 1 wire probe so I can probe a surface for engraving, pcb
milling and for tool offset contact plate. I was playing around in the MDI with
G38.2 and I have some questions.
The tool drives into the plate and of course goes through it (I mean, bends it,
flexible 10mil sheet)
I'm answering al old thread here, but to me it seems a simple path
following parameter problem. Are you in exact path mode (for finishing
ops) or in tolerance path mode (for roughing)?
See the G61 and G64 codes in EMC2 documentation:

I think the original problem of providing a better manual tool change is
possible by writing an EMC2 component and adjusting some hal files. It
shouldn't be too difficult. I've read the hal developers guide, but I am not an
expert.

Thank you Andy Ayre for such a great article on getting EMC2 and RTAI
running on Ubuntu 7.10. It was invaluable in my attempts to get EMC2 +
RTAI running on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. I am sooo close, even so close as to
running emc2 and selecting my configuration...but alas, RTAI crashes it

ok, forgot my last message...I managed to get the rtapi module to load.
I finally found the right spot to add the mcmodel=kernel option and emc
gets past the rtapi loading.
Then 'motmod' module gave me trouble. It said the following symbols are
undefined: cos, sin, atan2, acos. I had to go back
I like your way of thinking. Don't forget to aticipate any audio
processing blocks in between your software and sound card output. There
are many processors and filters on the input ADC for example. I don't
believe there is much of anything on the output path, but I would check.
You will probably
Actually, you probably couldn't build unless you used configure with the
--enable-simulator switch. I think your error means that you selected a machine
that is real and not a simulator. When you run .\scripts\emc and the config
dialog appears, select the sim axis configuration.

Nisley: I have posted your introduction pdf to my site under cnc resources and

I used lilo for years and thought it was great...but my recent delve into grub,
yeah its better!
A few things in your setup description don't calculate right. You say /hba1
/hba2. The hard drives start as /hd(a-d). And by your hd spec, both linux
installations are on the same hard drive. Did
I can't say for certain, but it sounds like just a processor power issue. The
process may even show a lot of idle time. Whats most important is how quickly
the processor responds to the real-time interrupt request, and that a
non-maskable interrupt hasn't taken priority over it. The older
EMC2 has 3 outputs for spindle control (that I see) PWM Output, CW and CCW on

I wrote some parametized code last night to make protective bellows. I wrote a

I couldn't find any coord system rotate code, only offset
