Re: [Emc-users] A beginners question about E-Stop and Charge Pumps

2014-11-10 Thread Joe Hildreth
All,

I just wanted to take a minute and thank all of you for the help, links, 
advice, (c).  I really appreciate it.

I have decided that I will bring the software estop out and use it with the 
mechanical estop(s) to just drop all the power from the motor drivers, Router, 
Vacuum, (c).  I will also bring the estop condition back into LinuxCNC, not 
because it really matters, but just so the software recognizes the stopped 
condition.

Again, thanks so much for all you help and advice.  I really was over thinking 
it or something.  Having been in computer networking in the healthcare industry 
for the last 15 years, I have got into the habit of over thinking as part of 
the CYA you perpetually have to do because the government constantly mandates 
it.

You folk really are a blessing to have as a community.

Joe Hildreth

Re: [Emc-users] Unable to get Nvidia Graphic Card working with nvidia drivers .

2014-11-10 Thread alex chiosso
Hi to all.
Just an update.
I set the isolcpu=1.
I disabled the legacy USB support from the BIOS .
I finally remove the Nvidia drivers + the NOUVEAU drivers and reboot the
system.
After that the latency numbers are pretty good (I mean comparing with the
previous numbers) .
The base thread peak is less than 18000 and the servo thread peak is less
than 22000 with :
- The internet browser opened and Youtube video playing ;
- 3 glxgears sessions opened ;
- Libreoffice Draw opened ;
- File manager opened and searching files and moving windows on the screen.
All this running for a couple of hours.
Anyway this is not the best but should be ok.

Thans a lot for the help and support you gave me. :-)

Alex

 Thank you Kirk for your detailed explanation I will try your tips.
 My cpu is an Intel dual core so isolcpu=1 should be the right one .

 Alex;

 I've made the isolcpu=1 modification but numbers are always pretty high
  (6-65000 on both threads) but more stable as I can see.
 
 
 How many cores?  If two, the isolcpus=1 is correct; if four, or one or...
 it may not be.

 I modified Kent's 07_rtai script to find the pae kernels; someone else
 (sorry, names
 are in the script) went through and worked out different cores and what
 worked well.
 IIRC his/her comments are in the wiki page and in the 07_rtai script.

 Just something to check; John.
