I have been stumbling around in the dark with the learning curve for my new
SHERLINE mill ever since I got it. I had trouble installing the software
disk that came with the SHERLINE mill. ( Linux/EMC Version 4.51).
At this point I have been able to down load the EMC2 image from
Linuxcnc.org and after several attempts have Been successful in burning a CD
that will boot.
I already had a PC that dual booted between Windows XP professional
and Ubuntu 8.xxx. Still learning my way around the LINUX file structure and
OS.
I have printed out the EMC2 manual and have that handy. So this is
where I am now:
Computer: DELL with 1Gb Ram and a 160 Gig hard drive running both Win XP
and Ubuntu.
Mill: Sherline 5000 series with a external 8760 controller.
Per printed instructions I have booted off the CD and got to the EMC2
program (Applications > CNC > EMC2) The screen where I am stuck for a
selection is the "Configuration Select". What do I select at this point to
proceed, based on my equipment?
Several of you were kind enough to answer my "new guy" dumb questions, which
without I would not be where I am now. A million thanks for that. I hope
someday to return the favor if I ever learn this system/software/machine.
