At the start, I could not get higher than 800x600 resolution. I did a bios upgrade and now I can get a full 1400x900 for my LCD. Unfortunately, the intel 810 onboard video does not like opengl windows.. I can run axis or glxgears, but get total screen disruption (crap writing all over the screen). This occurred on both ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 installed distributions. This box also needs the SMI fix to get latencies in the 30,000ns range (over 120,000ns without the SMI module installed). All in all, not a box I would use for emc. Please drop a note on this list if you do have any success with the 810 video. cheers Lawrence Chris, I tried the VESA driver and my video went completely crazy. I don't know whether I changed two things at once or whether it just didn't work. I had to reboot in safe mode and copy a backup of xorg.conf to / etc/Xll and reboot again to get my video working at all again. Should it work with the Intel 810 video chip set? Lawrence, Everything worked fine under 6.06 so I really think it is an induced bug in something they (the Ubuntu developers) did between 6.06 and 8.04. My box has had consistent latency around 11000 to 15000 without the SMI module installed. I am running 1280x1024 mode with configured device. The box has no identifying information on it and I got it used so I have no idea what brand it is.

[Emc-users] electronic gearing

If you are using step/dir servos, you are going to have to jump through some hoops - step/dir is just a horrible way to talk to servomotors. The encoder ratio component is intended to take encoder feedback from the master and the slave, and produce a position difference that would become the feedback to a PID loop for the slave. Probably the best documentation for encoder-ratio is the comment block at the beginning of the code: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/emc2/src/hal/components/encoder_ratio.c?rev=1.14 Regards, John Kasunich -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

There is no perhaps about it - a custom kernel is needed for the realtime extensions. Ubuntu was chosen because many EMC users are new to Linux, and Ubuntu is friendly to such persons. We are in agreement that stable is good, which is why we are using the LTS (long term support) versions of Ubuntu, not the ones that get replaced every six months. Nothing prevents a Linux-savvy user who prefers something else from using the distro of their choice, however building the realtime kernel always involves a fair amount of trial and error.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 and Hardy 8.04
Probably not the problem here but as an FYI... I had a very difficult time getting Hardy to recognize my monitor correctly on a Shuttle and spent a lot of time and effort trying to fix the problem. It turns out that the problems was that I had connected the monitor through a KVM (keyboard switch) that prevented the monitor from passing it's configuration stuff to the driver. After directly wiring the monitor it was easy to identify the supported monitor modes by looking at the xconfig log which made it very simple to add the missing video modes. I ended up configuring the monitor as VESA.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 and Hardy 8.04
I have one for you... I picked up a little 15 widescreen Acer x163w monitor with a 1366 x 768 resolution. EMC and Axis work fine under Dapper, although the resolution is not right. Hardy gets the resolution correct, but the preview window in Axis streaks diagonally across the entire screen. I have read and tried every fix resolution tutorial I could find and I can't get Dapper to display correctly. And Hardy is useless because I can't see the controls behind the preview window smears. Further, it has been my experience that if you ever change monitors with different aspect ratios under Ubuntu, you have to reinstall the OS to get it to work. This is the one thing I think is really holding Ubuntu back from being a consumer friendly product.

[Emc-users] Mesa 5i23 and 7i37 I/O problem
I'm having some problems getting EMC to see the I/o on port P3 of m 5i23 I have P2 connect to a 7i33 and it seams to be work as I can run my motors and the display show movement. I have at this time six limit switch and four output wired up. The output are wired to a Opto 22 quad pack that is sink 5 volts to the OBIT+ pin of the 7i37 with the OBIT- tied to ground. I can ground the OBIT+ side of any channel and the opto units turn on and drives the AC Loads. So I know the Opto unit is good.

I usually have to try a few times and Google for xorg.conf parameter information. The newer config's seem to have very few parameters, in order to have everything auto config. I often have to go back to an old config file and copy the parameters so that X doesn't set them automatically.

It took me ages to convince X11 to work with it. Les My monitor is a Princeton LCD19D and it shows up in displayGTK as plugnplay and is configured for 1280x1024 which is what I was using in Dapper. The driver is blank. I assume that means that it is defaulting to some default driver in linux. I tried changing to VESA again and when I reboot the screen appears to be out of horizontal hold (or probably improper scan frequency). Thanks, to the shortcuts from Kirk, I was able to restore the working xorg.conf without having to reboot. But still no joy.

I'm glad your motors are working. :-) If the .hal file that you posted loads without error, it looks to me like EMC2 is seeing the P3 I/O port correctly (otherwise there would be no GPIO output pins). For the outputs to work, you need to set the relevant .is_output HAL parameter to TRUE. Otherwise the pin remains an input. The mechanism for doing this is documented in the GPIO section of the hostmot2 manpage. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/hostmot2.9.html#General%20Purpose%20I/O Do the limit switches work? Try using halmeter to monitor the pins as you activate the limit switches. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] comp
apt-get install is a command to install a package from the internet. If you have no internet available on you rPC then you need to download the package from: http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.2/binary-i386/emc2-dev_2.2.8_i386.deb you can then install the package using: sudo dpki -i package You'll probably get errors if there are dependencies needed, so you need to go and find those packages, download and install them by hand. This will be a tedious process.
