Re: [Emc-users] Help with Lathe Codes
I suppose you could adapt some of these: http://www.machinetoolhelp.com/Applications/Haas_G-M-codes.html the parts chute one is there. Good luck!

To hold the spindle while changing chucks? If so, tying it into e-stop seems pretty reasonable. The rest of your questions I'm even less sure of. There is a facility to set up new M codes for special functions, that is most likely the best way. Jon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Emc-users] Help with Lathe Codes
I need to start thinking about how to handle some of the remaining issues with my Hardinge lathe. Some of the items on my todo list: Spindle Lock Pin It has a micro-switch to sense engagement. I could tie it to the e-stop chain, but that seems a little drastic. I would like to display a message and lockout certain events. Cutoff Slide It has an extend SSR, retract SSR and limit switch. I need a new g-code or use an m1xx? Collet Closer It has an open SSR and close SSR I need a new g-code or use m1xx? Part Chute It has an extend SSR I need a g-code or use m1xx? I am planning on hooking up the SSR's to a second parallel port. Then telling HAL to connect the pins to signals is pretty straight forward. The trick is in what functions to connect the signals to. I could really use some pointers on what methods are used to create custom installs, new g-codes, etcetera. The document: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?ToolChangerImplementation mentions making changes to tkio and iosh, but looking at these files is like watching the circus through a peep hole, its hard to get the whole picture.

I had a couple thoughts that this could possibly be due to a printer driver or something, but wasn't at all sure, so I didn't mention it. Jon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

My 12vdc power to my LPT-board did give a very unclean dc, that did result in the unwanted servo movement ~3steps/sec. Now it runs very very smoth. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Ok I have EMC2 up and running on Unbuntu and that went well. Now I've started to play around with the sims and have the following problem after renaming the config directory from "sim" to "axis sim". I can not find the correct place to configure the machine configuration directory. Of course I get the error: Could not find ini file...

[Emc-users] cannot use halmeter and halscope, RTAPI error
Dear all, I have used the latest version EMC2.1.6, but I fail to use halscope and halmeter. The errors are: RTAPI: ERROR: version mismatch 530 vs 529 HAL: ERROR: rtapi init failed. I downloaded the source code for emc2.1.6, and compile with ./configure --enable-run-in-place make && sudo make setuid I also used an very old version of EMC2 - pre-2.1. Is the new version conflicting with the old version? can anyone kindly tell how to solve this problem? regards Xuecheng - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
