Thanks for all the useful information everyone.
I'll be sure to investigate the UV adhesive and different types of foam.

Yes, but if you paint it gold it makes it look beautiful :)

Not sure exactly, the idea is to make an interactive
Hi All,
As I have been querying the list quite a bit with questions I thought
I would post a project I have been working on with EMC.
It uses the Axis Python Interface to control an Expanding Foam
dispensing CNC machine in near-realtime:

Just to follow up on this earlier post.

This was indeed what the problem was.
Using the method Jon suggested (below) we found there was no power
coming into one phase of the motor.

Hi all,
I am experiencing some odd direction changes on a home-brew CNC
machine that I have on loan.
The machine was apparently purchased off ebay, and all the settings I
dug out from data sheets for the driver chips and motors.

Hi,
I have a quick question regarding the jdi.py program by Jeff Epler.
http://axis.unpy.net/01167419757
Is there a particular file structure that is required to run this?
i.e. where should I be putting the jdi.py file?
I note that the current folder and the ./lib/python folder is being
added t
Wow, it worked!
Thanks for the great tip Alex!
Now the device is no longer [disabled]
For anyone else facing this issue in the future I followed the
instructions here:

Unfortunately the BIOS settings are very abbreviated and the only
peripheral that can be enabled/disabled is the Wireless card!

Well, the do have 'drivers' listed on the card's site:

Hi there,
I am a new EMC2 user and am trying to configure a PCMCIA Card Parallel
Port on a Compaq Presario v2000 laptop.
I have read that the card can do CNC, so I am optimistic that it will
work.

Hi All,
I have been researching different ways to control EMC programmatically
and stumbled across code for 'NCapplet':
http://www.docjar.org/html/api/emc/gui/NCapplet.java.html
Which looks to be a pretty fully implemented Java GUI for EMC.
