John,
thanks - I've been wanting that - good thing I only did rough tuning
just to see if my servos work.
The machine is still in building/thinking phase so not too much time
wasted yet :-)
Cheers,
Rob

You can go to Machine/Calibration and tune servos from there.
The trick is to turn off virtual memory. Obviously you must have enough
ram to handle this. If you are just running emc then the memory
requirements are fairly low. 512M works well on my lathe.
There are other workarounds as I describe on the wiki page.

There are two potential issues with CF cards in IDE adapters. Some
adapters don't implement UDMA correctly which can cause problems. With
windows you get intermittent read and write errors. With Linux the
kernel usually crashes when it tries to mount the drive. Also some cards

Well the thing that comes to my mind is to make something in hal and use the
index pulse to reset the C axis to zero everytime the pulse is activated. So
the axis count will go from 0 to 360 degree and then start all over again
from 0.
Well it's just an approach to what i'm trying to do, i
I tested he following ubuntu versions
6.06 installs OK, remains emc stuff to be added

Alternatively: is there still a 6.06 live cd available (been looking for it
in vain)?
At this point since you are successfully able to install 6.06 stock, why
then mess with the Live CD for 6.06?
reading the hal manual gives you command line options eg 'halcmd setp
xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx '.
open a terminal while the machine is running and type 'halcmd'
you should see feedback to guide you further

Greetings;
Now that I have a config setup to use the rotary table as 'C' face up on the
xy table, the next q is: Is there a way to make it simulate the other 2
axis's, as in the axis running the long way with x, and the axis running the
long way with y?
I know the default for the A seems to
I haven't tried the ss-wrapped-rotary branch yet but I will shortly. It may
do what you want in keeping the numbers between 0 - 360. That is the
specific purpose for it.

Kirk,
My machine which is located in a conditioned by God shop goes
through terrible cycles of temperature and humidity. I found by
stressing hard drives this way, I was loosing about 1 year! I
changed to the CF card (solid state drive if you will) and found the
machine to be much more

Anyway, if Linux uses a drive as virtual memory, I would think it would have
the potential to wear out a CF card fairly quickly, though their may already
be work arounds for it.
You have to overload memory on a Linux system pretty badly to make it
start swapping.

The main reason for me is reliability. Generally hard drives are the
least reliable part of a computer. I am fed up with swapping out failed
hard drives.

You can oftentimes set things up so writes never occur to the CF card
unless it is deliberate.
In that case they really should never wear out since they are not being
rewritten.Flash cards are suppose to be good for at least 10 years
as far as data retention.
I don't expect any hard

Well. I did a search of MTBF for Compact flash cards and I found
everything from 500,000 hours to 4 million hours of operation. Since
500,000 hours is 57 years, then 4,000,000 hours is about 450 years.
I'm ok with a 57 year life span. I recently bought and installed a
bunch of 30
