Very interesting discussion.
Does anyone have an example of implementation of a rotary cam-switch (and where
to find one) along with an INI file example?
Sincerely,
Patrice

Is anyone familiar with this?

Hello,
I wanted to ask the list a question. Has anyone come across an article or a
discussion regarding objections to the introduction of Open Source Software in
the industry?
I was wondering about the GPL license. Let's say a company modifies EMC2 to
better suit its needs. According to the
Nice job!
What about the Sherline CNC rotary table?
It works great. Isn't it a great affordable product instead of reinventing the
wheel?
The reason why I am writing this post is the following: no matter how great the
hardware is, the BIG limitation lies in the CAM part.
It is time to come
Alex,
Thank you for your work. This is an awesome feature!

Jeff,
The screenshot you refer to is the result of a discrete motion type. I meant a
continuous scanning motion. Let's say, you scan a circle (a CD) with a proper
stylus, and on the screen, you get a circle, the same diameter as the CD.
The reason why I am asking this weird question is because

Hello,
The Sherline rotary table works fine. I am now trying to insert formulas in my
program such as SQRT(value), SQUARE, COS, ATAN...
Is there a documentation that shows the proper syntax to use?
For instance I would like to check that [value1]^2 will return the square of
value1.
Thanks
Never mind, I found the following:

Hello,
I am planning on integrating a Sherline CNC rotary table to an existing 3-axis
mill. I will not use Stepconf. Instead, I will manually edit the ini and hal
files. Could you please tell me whether the following lines will work? I am
using EMC 2 (Axis 2.2.6) with Ubuntu 6.06 and there will
I am done installing and testing a touch-trigger probe. It works but I am having
trouble re-using the results of the probing. I used the following example:
http://www.isd.mel.nist.gov/personnel/kramer/pubs/RS274NGC_3.web/RS274NGC_33a.html#1013622
Where are the the values such as #5061, #5062,
Okay, I inserted (PROBEOPEN filename.txt) and (PROBECLOSE) in my program.
EMC2 creates a file in the machine config directory that looks like an array:
-26.931041 -44.450006 5.02 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
0.00
-26.945332 -44.450006 5.02 0.00 0.00 0.00
Thanks Jeff. I got it.
I was not saving the result of the probing operation properly.
I want to use it during the same part program so no need to mess with the var
file.
Best Regards,
Patrice

Hello,
I might be sending this email to the wrong list.
Is there a link to TRUNK (2.3) version of EMC that explains what is being
implemented, the current progress and bugs ?
How can I install and test it?
Many thanks!

I am using EMC2 and Ubuntu 6.06 and would like to share my understanding of
hooking up a touch-trigger probe with experts on this list.
The probe acts as a NC switch and is connected to pin 12 on the parallel port.
In the HAL file, I add a line: net probe parport.0.pin-12-in =
Hello Aram,
I live in the Portland, OR area, and I think you do as well. I have read the
issues you are experiencing lately. I will be happy to show you how I program
EMC2. I am using the features that cause you trouble without any problem.
Please feel free to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED],

I would feel much better if it was possible to tell EMC2 to act so.
Thanks for your answers.

I tried Axis and it makes sense now. Now I understand how I can combine all the
positive limit switches to one input to perform the home sequence.
The other thing I have been wondering about is whether there is a way to start a
program with a homing sequence.
I am trying to train people to home

Hello,
First of all, I would like to say that the EMC team is doing a nice job. I used
to run BDI five years ago and recently installed EMC2 on a scratch-built CNC
router for prescription eyeglasses manufacturing. My config is
steppers/PMDX-131/G201.
