Re: [Emc-users] Upgrading a Hardy install
It's not really recommended or tested. That said, I did some upgrades like these rom 6.06 to 8.04, and it worked without the emc2 part. But that part you can always install using the install script found at www.linuxcnc.org Regards, Alex - Original Message - From: Igor Chudov ichu...@gmail.com To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 5:38 PM Subject: [Emc-users] Upgrading a Hardy install I have an old, decrepit Dell PC that I first used as a CNC controller. I later upgraded to a newer PC, but it looks like the on-board parallel port controller has issues when two encoder cards are plugged in to PPMC, so for now, I switched to the old Dell. The Dell handles two encoder cards, seemingly well. My question is, can I upgrade it to Lucid with do-release-upgrade, and expect EMC2 to be upgraded correctly.

[Emc-users] Gladevcp problems
I've got emc2-dev installed and tried to follow the glade install on the wiki. Done the following sudo apt-get install glade To determine whether your gladevcp is up to date, run it as 'gladevcp -h'. if the usage message says it supports a '-H halfile' option, you're good to go. any command such as gladevcp -H just gives command not found likewise trying the following $ cd emc2-dev/lib/python/gladevcp $ gladevcp gladevcp-test.ui Any ideas?

The ATxmega runs on 3.6V max, so my current task is to design a parallel port interface that can use 3 to 5V in, and feed ~3V to the xmega. After the data link is worked out, the xmega can be used to produce a wide range of signals (step/dir, PWM, 3-phase) and capture input (encoders, ADC).

The reason is because the line that loads the threads is not correct, there is no period length given for the first thread, so it picks one and then the second thread happens to be shorter then it causing an error. Sorry I must be tired. The line is correct. I think the reason is, your servo period that is set in the ini file is slower then the fast thread you are trying to load here. other wise everything I said before still applies - assuming I'm not still sleeping... if you really want a fast base period try changing to; loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[TRAJ]AXES and add the line : BASE_PERIOD = 10 to the INI file under [EMCMOT] Chris M -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!

Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics I never heard about the part that it only happens if the base period was invoked but not used. I will try to do some testing soon to confirm and if thats true will allow base periods in pncconf again. so then Klemens problem was that he tried to add a faster thread after a slower thread. Chris M Ps. after rereading my post - the tone may have seemed like I was being critical of Mesa cards - I did not mean that at all. I use Mesa products and am very happy with them. I meant to report pitfalls reported to and witnessed by me and the work around known to me. Thanks for the info Peter. -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
