[Emc-users] Problem with RTAI on Ubuntu 8.04 HH and new EMC2 2.2.7
Hi everybody, I have installed on my PC the Ubuntu 8.04 HH with EMC2 from the live cd from linuxcnc.org. After, i have updated my system to EMC 2.2.7 with the ubuntu update manager, so I have updated EMC2 and other 227 files (from critical update and other applications...). Now when I try to load EMC2 with sim configuration (but it happens with any configuration), the rtai doesn't be loaded with the following error: insmod: error inserting '/usr/realtime-2.6.24-16-rtai/modules/rtai_hal.ko' -1 File exists 4891 PID TTYSTAT TIME COMMAND Stopping realtime threads Unloading hal components ERROR: Module rtai_math does not exists in /proc/modules ERROR: Module rtai_sched does not exists in /proc/modules ERROR: Module rtai_hal is in use by rtai_lxrt I don't know how it's possible, i have tryied to reboot the pc but nothing... I think that other applications use this rtai_lxrt but who is this??? Thank you!

OK, in the .ini file, I added this one line to the [HAL] section : HALUI =halui and then, in my univpwm_io.hal file, I added this : # hook up is.paused and resume to halui newsig ispaused bit newsig resume bit linksp ispaused = halui.program.is-paused linksp ispaused = ppmc.0.dout.05.out linksp resume = ppmc.0.din.03.in linksp resume = halui.program.resume That's all it took. halui.program.is-paused goes true when the M00 is executed, turning on SSR5 on my universal PWM controller board. When an unused digital input (dig in 3) is made a closed connection, it sends true to halui.program.resume, and the g-code program resumes from the M00 program stop. To actually use this, you'd need to establish some timings, so that the resume signal was always shorter than any program could ever run, and that the other machine control would not send the resume and see immediately that paused was set and assume that EMC had already moved to the next position. My customer will have to work out these timings on his actual CNC control, in this case a Haas mini-mill. Jon Thanks for the info Jon.

Re: [Emc-users] Problem with RTAI on Ubuntu 8.04 HH and new EMC2 2.2.7
Please show us the list of kernel modules that are loaded immediately after you log in but before you run emc. You can do this by opening Applications Accessories Terminal, then typing dmesg, then by pasting the result into your reply. The *top* lines are probably going to be the important ones, but there shouldn't be so many that you can't include them all.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 hal var ini files
When I first looked for the stepconf file, I always drilled down into the folder itcreated thinking the inside it. I therefore thought I had a problem because I could not find that file. I only to noticed later (after numerous searches) that it was right in the top directory at the same level as the named folders.

Re: [Emc-users] Problem with RTAI on Ubuntu 8.04 HH and new EMC2 2.2.7
Roberto, I suspect what is happening is that the real time kernel is not the default kernel and the errors you are seeing are a consequence of not having a real time kernel loaded. You can select the kernel on boot, on some systems you may need to hit escape while grub is loading in order to select the kernel. The real time kernels will have 'rtai' in the name. To permanently change the default kernel, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I don't know why this has changed for HH, as far as what becomes the default kernel, but this question will continue to get asked until that is changed.

[Emc-users] question about taig 3000 setup
Hi all, Does anyone have a Taig DSLS 3000 configuration they can share? I can turn it on and get some simple motion but I don't think I know enough about the Taig details to complete the stepconf setup. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Emc-users] Problem with RTAI on Ubuntu 8.04 HH and new EMC2 2.2.7
Roberto, I have experienced this same issue with 8.04 installed from the live CD - but it is occurring on EMC 2.2.6. I haven't allowed the upgrade to 2.2.7 to occur, but I did install all the critical other apps. I have found a work around - load EMC2 again! I only get the rtai_hal.ko file exists error the first time I try to run EMC after a reboot. If I shut it down and start it again, it loads. Here are the error messages I see after a reboot: http://pastebin.com/m12dbb0b6 Here is the dmesg list after a reboot: http://pastebin.com/m23c28ffb Here is the dmesg list after I load EMC, let it fail, close and re-open: http://pastebin.com/m71e7e99b (I'm still working on the unexpected real time delay on task 1) I hope that is helpful. I didn't report it before because I am very new to EMC and I thought I was doing something wrong. Oh, another random bit of information - this error also happens if I try to load emc-trunk using run-in-place. Alex On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 9:58 AM, Eric H.

Re: [Emc-users] setting G54?
Hi I want to be sure about setting G54. “The coordinate system whose origin is set by a G10 command may be active or inactive at the time the G10 is executed. If it is currently active, the new coordinates take effect immediately. Example: G10 L2 P1 x 3.5 y 17.2 sets the origin of the first coordinate system (the one selected by G54)” What is L2? What it does? Does this mean that I need input G10 L2 P1 x () y () z () in MDI or at the front of my main program to set G54? And after that line G10 L2 P1 x () y () z () in the program start to use G54 which will take machine to x () y () z () specified with G10 L2 P1 above. If I am right, than how I will input G10 L2 P1 x () y () z ()? Thanks Aram On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 06:21:07AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I need help with setting G54.
