Even if it is an academic exercise I think It is interesting to share. May be interesting to put a description of your setup some where in the wiki. I don't know if there is section devoted to kinematics, it could be proper place. Javier El mar, 03-06-2008 a las 16:05 -0500, Charles Brauer

[Emc-users] spindle on/off

2008-06-04 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen, When using 'AXIS', is there a way to configure EMC2 to allow the spindle to continue running when switching modes between 'manual' and 'mdi'? thanks Stuart - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. It's

Hi Stuart, this wasn't an AXIS limitation. but rather an emc/emc2 design. I added an ini variable [EMCIO] SPINDLE_MODE If you set SPINDLE_MODE to 1 it will cause the spindle to keep running when changing modes, but also on abort (hitting escape). The spindle stops if you hit ESTOP. The default

2008-06-04 Thread Greg Michalski
I like Alex's implementation - I'll leave it as the default on my primary setup myself as I do prefer it to shutoff between changes most times. But if I'm doing some simple jogging and need the spindle and some larger exact moves I'd have a separate configuration I'd run for that. Thanks for the

Hi Matt, It is rather sad that it is easier to install the Windows version on Linux than the native Linux version :-( SheetCam is a closed source commercial app so I am afraid can't provide the source. I have had so many problems with Autopackage that I am investigating a different install

[Emc-users] Putting Encoder on AC servomotor???

Hi I am looking for more info about why I can not take out encoder from AC servomotor and put another in? I want to try 1000 000 pulse encoder. If I buy it can I install it my self? Encoder counts revolution, so why I can not remove and put it back? I look on google about that but can some one
