Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

Hi Claude. Did you tried to use a PS2 mouse and keyboard so you can disable the usb ports and see if the latency spikes are still there ? Regards Alex On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM, Karlsson & Wang < nicklas.karls...@karlssonwang.se> wrote: > > ... > > Have you guys found anything in

Thanks Alex, I haven't tried that yet but I will (unfortunately I threw out my old PS2 keyboard and mouse a while back). - Claude On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 12:27 AM, alex chiosso wrote: > Hi Claude. > Did you tried to use a PS2 mouse and keyboard so you can disable the usb >

Thanks for clarifying that. I'm new to the LinuxCNC world having tried it about 10 years ago but ending up with MACH3 on my CNC routerand of course designing the Electronic Lead Screw for my Lathes. How is Machinekit being used with your 3d Printer? Do you use a separate slicing program or

Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

When you use the word beginner I'd say forget all the experimental stuff and just get a desktop PC. I just purchased this setup and the latency is really great, usually < 9000 with an occasional 13300. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item...28860=13-128-860

Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

It may depend on several things. I got an HP 7800 SFF and the latency looked pretty good, until I started using a custom usb device with it (necessary for my setup), and then I started getting realtime errors while running linuxcnc. Switched to a Dell 745 and have had no such problems. Moses

Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

I apologize for being a bit snarky regarding my experience with the HP7800. I'm glad to hear Peter and Kirk have had success with this machine because I'd love to be able to use it! Have you guys found anything in particular that might cause latency spikes that I'm seeing? I installed 2.7-Wheezy

What is a good and usable configuration for a machine to drive my beginner 3-axis CNC router? Is Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black an easy solution, or would getting an old desktop still a more bullet proof (and easy to implement) solution? Thanks for your time!
