Make sure you have homed the machine and then touched off your work before. Then just right-click on the line you want to start from, you should get the "run from here" popup menu. you should get something like here : http://imagebin.ca/view/iXE3O4.html For Sale Sticker wrote: > Hi - > > I a

Thanks for your proposition ! For the moment, I switched the compressor power line to another phase, and I glued 5 panels without losing my control panel :) I will see tomorow, but seems solved for now. Andy Pugh wrote: > On 5 August 2010 18:08, yann jautard wrote: > > >&g

power line ? 3HP 220V 50Hz 1ph motor. Well as we have 3ph line here, I will first plug the compressor on another phase than the EMC computer. yann jautard wrote: > Wow, very fast answer, and probabely right. No VFD, but this could > correspond to the moment the air compressor that powers th

Hi all I got a small but very boring problem with the USB gamepad I use a an input device for my control panel. Sometimes the gamepad disconnect from USB. As the hal_input device does no open the device "on the fly", the control panel stop responding and I have to restart EMC. Here it is what
