Gentle persons: I grabbed the LinuxCNC 2.5 iso last night and tried it via a LiveUSB stick out this morning.
Looks very clean. My thanks again. However, there's glitches in several sim sample configurations that I think have actually been around for several releases. A. For sim/axis/axis and sim/axis/gantry 1) start LinuxCNC 2) in the LinuxCNC Configuration Selector, pick sim/axis/axis or sim/axis/gantry from Sample Configurations 3) start LinuxCNC and follow the usual drill---toggle emergency stop, toggle machine power, home all, begin executing 4) up comes an error window "Program exceeds machine limits...on axis Z" 5) choose to run anyway 6) no go---Axis shows the message "Linear move in line 9 would exceed joint 2's positive limit" punctuated by its lovely white cross in a big red circle These problems have percolated into other branches of the sim configurations such as the sim/gladevcp/gladevcp_panel demo but I haven't had time to try them all. B. LinuxCNC terminates with an error and a window full of diagnostic info while loading the sim/axis/profile_axis configuration I realize this is pretty trivial stuff but it would be discouraging to a noobie who uses the simulated configurations to assess LinuxCNC. Regards, Kent test machine: ASUS M4A88T-M motherboard with an AMD II X4 640 cpu and 2GB ram. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
