Backlash is a term used in machinery to describe lost motion when reversing direction. Turn one direction then turn the other and you must turn more to actually have the machinery move. Linuxcnc has a setting to try and compensate for this. It's a small number set in the INI file under a certain heading.
#57 is partially done. Stepconf can configure two parallel ports already- aside from step and direction signals. The second port can be selected as in or out. I think adding a gui selection option would also b a good fairly easy addition Stepconf defaults to using AXIS gui but Gmoccapy is another popular one we should offer. I haven't written the request yet.... If you make a git patch file and send it to this list that would probably work fine.

"\" is used to extend variable. How can I add this feature? Can there be a "\" automatically be written after end of first or its about something else? Not understand it properly. [2] what is in #57 StepConf improvements? I think I have to focus on easy feature improvement as I got very less time to do it in GSoC. So, I want to complete those task that are easy and also on time. I have only two days to manage my schedule, so I am afraid as am just started using linuxcnc and just understand how pyGlade works. Where can I put my code so that I will show my commits to community. -- Gurwinder Singh Bains http://gurwindersinghbains93.wordpress.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
