I'm looking at upgrading to 2.3 of EMC using Ubuntu 8. The system I'm
running is stable under Ubuntu 8 and the version immediately before
2.3 (by only a few weeks) and I don't really want to do a full nuke
and reload. Is there any easy way to simply reinstall/update just EMC.
Thanks,

Yes there is:

Now I have internet access for my computer. And I installed software as
described in the emc wiki:

Perhaps your using the hal_input component specified in the wiki and not the

My configuration is based on hal_joystick and this is what isn't loading.

but just couldn't get it to work, hence the use of

I did that and it worked as described in the upgrade guide. No issues here..

I'm using a gamepad in 2.2.8 as a pendant. I've heard rumors of
issues with this in 2.3?
Are these still issues?

My guess is that you need to make sure that your PLC sets tool-prepared
true when the tool is ready to be changed. The T word invokes the
prepare - prepared thread, the M invokes the change - changed thread.
You should be able to check the prepare and prepared signal status with
HALmeter.
Thanks. I'll have a bash at it tomorrow and see if I can get it working.

If you don't have encoders or
In that case, don't use prepare-prepared. Just link the two signals so
that as soon as the prepare is set true, prepared becomes true. Most
example configurations have this because they don't usually have
changers. This will put all of the control burden on the M6. Do you have

You will have to be careful as they will talk on other lines. You can
also limit the effect on homing switch issues and things along that
like when you add a ceramic capacitor across the lines of the homing
or similar switches. That flattens out the spikes nicely.

If your configuration uses hal_joystick, it will not work in 2.3.0.
This issue was reported before, and it will be fixed in 2.3.1, but
that's not released yet.
If your configuration uses hal_input, then as far as I know it'll work
properly in 2.3.0.
