Chris and Sam, Thanks for your feedback, I went out and found a nice little Gateway computer for my latest Emc2/Pluto box.
The Pluto P is running perfectly on the new computer. In fact all I did was comment out the limit switch setup string in the hal file and tune the acceleration in order to get really nice smooth motion with wrist wrenching holding torque. All this with only 40vdc and about 3 amps. The mosfets remain room temp at all times so far. I still have several debug issues, and the current limit circuit is not getting the analog out from the AMP02 instrumentation amps yet, but all in due time. This is showing promise... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKfyYx6P5bM&hl=en&fs=1";></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKfyYx6P5bM&hl=en&fs=1"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
