Re: [Emc-users] USB and HAL question
Hello, I've started hal_joystick from terminal just typing hal_joystick, after realtime was started because emc2 was running. Now, I need to run hal_joystick automatically when I start emc2...is it possible include a command for example in a .hal file? If not, how could I make hal_joystick run when I start emc2? thanks, Manfredi my website: www.m24-pro.com From: Jeff Epler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Emc-users] USB and HAL question Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 07:27:06 -0600 Yes, there is. Please see the hal_joystick manual page in emc2.1 http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.1/html/man/man1/hal_joystick.1.html. I don't recall if hal_joystick was included in emc 2.0.

[Emc-users] jog-scale question
Hello, why if I set a value for jog-scale from a .hal file, using for example: setp axis.0.jog-scale 0.1 when I start EMC2 and Axis, if I use hal meter to look at axis.0.jog-scale pin its value is 0...and external jog doesn't work. Now using Show Hal configuration I can change the value of the pin, for example to 0.1 and now external jog works. Is there a way to set the jog-scale value from the .hal file so that it remains the same after emc2 starts? If not, how could I set the jog-scale value? maybe using PyVCP?

[Emc-users] position pid loop
hi I'd like to know how the position control works in emc. the pid params I see are only for axis speed control, what I can't understand is how emc holds the motor at a particlar position and apply opposing force if tried to rotate. I was expecting to see pid params for position loop, but cannot find in any ini file. tia Larry - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Emc-users] Via motherboard
Hello I have used a ITX (smaller than ATX) board with a VIA 800 MHz. I can say that with the VIA CPU the system with Ubuntu and EMC2 was at its limit. After I replaced the VIA CPU with a PIII 733 I purchased on ebay (inexpensive...5 euro or something like that) and now the system with EMC2 run much much faster. Now I think I will replace the PIII 733 with a PIII 1000 when I will find one at very low price... So my opinion is, if you want to buy one of these VIA based motherboard, try at least the new CPUs more than 1 GHz. for example, this one is a ITX with a 1.3GHz VIA CPU http://www.mini-itx.it/product_info.php?info=p106_VIA-Epia-SP13000-LVDS.html I think an ATX would cost less, specially if you find it on ebay. regards, Manfredi My website: www.m24-pro.com From: Sepehr Kiani [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-users] Via motherboard Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:16:14 -0500 Hi, Has anyone tried one of these boards with EMC? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185043 It's cheap and I can cram it into my controller box easily. thanks, -- = Sepehr (Sep) Kiani, Ph.D. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pergatory.mit.edu/skiani = - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Emc-users] Via motherboard
Hi - I have a VIA systems board (600Mhz) running a Mesa 5i20 doing 40 to 60ipm rapids without any problems. Ubuntu is pretty bloated as default, I removed all the Gnome fluff and run plain old X with the Openbox windows manager, it works great. And if it blows up, thats only a $99.00 board that I will loose, pretty cheap to replace considering the total cost of running a CNC system. -ali --- Manfredi Leto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I have used a ITX (smaller than ATX) board with a VIA 800 MHz.

Re: [Emc-users] position pid loop
The stepgen HAL module has a tuned feedback loop between the slow (servo) thread and the fast (base) thread, and it also has parameters to control the maximum acceleration and velocity. Whatever position command you give stepgen, it issues properly-spaced steps that track that position as closely as possible while respecting the limits specified by the HAL parameters. When the position command is emc's axis.X.motor-pos-cmd, stepgen can reach the requested position every time because emc also includes code to limit acceleration and velocity to the inifile values. As you say, the feedback position is simply found by counting the number of step pulses actually issued. Jeff - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
