[Emc-users] Problem on EMC2 starting with rtai_hall.ko
Hello. I build emc2 based on PuppyRus linux. linux was patched by kernel is 2.6.24.7 rtai test was succesfull. Whan i make EMC2 i had problem with ipipe.h file. I had to insert #include linux/percpu.h in ipipe.h file to build EMC2. Now, when I try to start EMC i have problem with rtai_hal.ko file insmod: error inserting 'usr/realtime/modules/rtai_hal.ko': -1 File exists What could be a problem? Thanks Evgeny P.S.

[Emc-users] Touch probe functionality
Hi all, Thinking of making a touchprobe, but Im missing the link between the probe itself and EMC controll.

Either you compiled it into the kernel, not as a module. Or you had a latency test still running, or the last time you had realtime run there was some problem during unload. A lsmod should tell you more, and a reboot will probably cure it. What could be a problem? Thanks Evgeny P.S. I user VMWare machine under WinXP I do that too sometimes without problems.

You don't consider real machining this way, do you? Dirk By the way I prepare EMC2 for small computer (No cooler, no HDD, small size). I try to make distrib on VMWare, before installing on real computer. Евгений Александрович wrote: I do not think then VMWare is a problem. Linux does not know than VMWare is not real machine. May be only unstable CPU resource ... I think Dirk has it correct. Even if it would work - VM will be pulling interrupts in background and the whole reason of using a realtime kernel is to prevent interrupts. If the machine was fast enough and the demand was low enough, it is possible you could get away with it, but for safety and sanity it pays to keep the computer controlling movements as simple and unencumbered as possible.

Re: [Emc-users] Arduino with Ubuntu 8.04
The final piece of the jigsaw, in case anyone has similar problems. The Arduino IDE wouldn't talk to the Arduino board because serial.debug_rate in ~/.arduino/preferences.txt was set to 14400, a value not supported by the port (something to do with the ftdi_sio driver?). Setting this value to 9600 cured my final problem.
