Nothing but \n's Jon.  Including the last character.

And I am getting discouraged, even at 2.5 ipm, 2k revs, and about a 60 
thou per pass cut, I just buried the broken off, 2nd 1/32" mill in this, 
so far down and flush my needle point tweezers have nothing to get a 
grip on.  I thought about drilling a small hole beside it, and found I 
do not have a drill chuck on the premises that will grip that small a 
drill.

I have a pin vise that might, out in the other, now cold building.  If I 
can find it.

Good, black Gaboon Ebony has gone up, I had to pay $99 for a piece a bit 
bigger than the one I started with a year back.  Not as thick, but wider 
& a few inches longer.  But I'm $1300 into this project, I may as well 
finish it out the best I can do. :)
 
Thanks Jon.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Todd,

I'll troubleshoot the build tonight, it looks like a symbol is missing in
the RT build that's available in the sim build.

Re: [Emc-users] Trouble with 4th axis

[Todd Zuercher]

What happens if you change your encoder scale from: 
ENCODER_SCALE = -5000 
to: 
ENCODER_SCALE = 5000

If this makes it behave better (but maybe backwards) you may want to switch the 
wiring of your encoder feed back to switch direction.

Subject: [Emc-users] Trouble with 4th axis

Hello guys, working on my 4th axis, and I am starting to feel quite
lost, 
 
 I was figuring that this would be the easier of all the other work I
have done with this stuff, due to working with a brand spanking new
servo and drive, but has turned into a nightmare for me.
 
 I have the axis running, I can control it with my hand-wheel MPG, it
homes ( if that's what you want to call it ) and and after tuning the
servo to the drive, I don't think there would be any tuning involved on
the linuxcnc side, if the Following Error was even understandable.
 
 For starters, when I start up linuxcnc, and I press the "home all"
button, the rotary goes through the motions of the following homing
sequence in the link using inserted values on the image

 http://postimg.org/image/yxzcdwldx/
 
 
 And does set the "0" position, but then it takes off at max velocity,
and stops at some random value ( 1255, 159, 1800 ) always in the
positive direction, and not repeatable, and then says that it is homed (
No clue ).
 
 As for the following error, pretty much it is telling me that whatever
the DRO is displaying, it is telling me that the following error is the
inverse of the display, if it says that I am at 259.354 degrees, I will
have a following error of -259.354.  I tried to make a few G01
commands, and it does begin movement if I give it a position to go to,
but it does not stop at the dimension programmed, and in the DTG column,
it is just displaying whatever the "actual" position is not a distance
to go.


Here are my config details from my hal file and my ini,
http://pastebin.com/WT8fMkvY
 
 Any thoughts of help will be greatly appreciated

Ok, i just pushed a fix for that build error, and now it seems to compile
and run on my RTAI VM.  Also, I pushed the branch to the main linuxcnc
repository for the buildbot to chew on.

As somebody else mentioned, some software may not process 
the last line of a file unless it ENDS with a line end
character (not sure if default is LF or CR).  I have seen 
this with other software.

And, maybe, it is all because of the editor you use to 
create the G-code.  Linux-c++ tries to adapt to the cr/lf 
format of the file, but may get it wrong in some cases.  You 
can check the line end scheme in particular files with
od -c  | more

and see what exact hidden characters are there.

[Emc-users] Trouble with 4th axis

[rick]

Hello guys, working on my 4th axis, and I am starting to feel quite
lost, 
 
 I was figuring that this would be the easier of all the other work I
have done with this stuff, due to working with a brand spanking new
servo and drive, but has turned into a nightmare for me.
 
 I have the axis running, I can control it with my hand-wheel MPG, it
homes ( if that's what you want to call it ) and and after tuning the
servo to the drive, I don't think there would be any tuning involved on
the linuxcnc side, if the Following Error was even understandable.
 
 For starters, when I start up linuxcnc, and I press the "home all"
button, the rotary goes through the motions of the following homing
sequence in the link using inserted values on the image

 http://postimg.org/image/yxzcdwldx/
 
 
 And does set the "0" position, but then it takes off at max velocity,
and stops at some random value ( 1255, 159, 1800 ) always in the
positive direction, and not repeatable, and then says that it is homed (
No clue ).
 
 As for the following error, pretty much it is telling me that whatever
the DRO is displaying, it is telling me that the following error is the
inverse of the display, if it says that I am at 259.354 degrees, I will
have a following error of -259.354.  I tried to make a few G01
commands, and it does begin movement if I give it a position to go to,
but it does not stop at the dimension programmed, and in the DTG column,
it is just displaying whatever the "actual" position is not a distance
to go.


Here are my config details from my hal file and my ini,
http://pastebin.com/WT8fMkvY
 
 Any thoughts of help will be greatly appreciated

 Thanks

I'd love to test it.  But I need some help, and instructions how to install it.

Rob has been in his zone again..  He has expanded circular arc blending
into uvw axises. 

https://github.com/robEllenberg/linuxcnc-mirror/tree/feature/uvw-blending-dev

we were wondering if you could run it and see if you find any issues. 
Rob and I have hammered on it a bit.  so far so good.

sam

ps - still falls back to parabolic (1 segment look ahead) for abc
axis.   Rob says

'There are a few obstacles to rotary axis blending still. The biggest
one is that the units for linear axes and angular axes are different, so
tolerances, arc radius, and similar properties are ambiguous. I have
some ideas to work through, though, so it may be doable.'

M2 M02, mox nics (I can't spell the German source words, wet ram has 
faded) Jon, its there, see the editor window to the left in that screen 
snapshot.  No change there in the editor followed by a reload gets rid 
of what is to me a useless error report. All it is, is an extra mouse 
click to get rid of it before you can proceed. Begining the file with 
a % as the first line, or just a comment containing the name & copyright 
also makes no difference.  Nothing makes it go away.

EOF is EOF to me.  Can it not be to LinuxCNC?

M2 does function nicely to stop execution at that point, I've used it to 
step thru a program looking for an error many times.  So it does have a 
use, just not as an EOF marker.  IMO of course.

I have this ebony_button.ngc code looking like it should work, but now I 
need to make a jig to hold the workpiece so I can treat it like a step 
and repeat.  The larger square button in the upper boxes fingers I need 
at least 132 of, 3 at a time from a 2" wide slice of ebony, leaving some 
scrap on one edge. I think I'll need another piece, $60, as I only have 
a hair less than an inch thick from the first 2x2x12 piece.  I need a 
laser cutter, its cut is thinner than a 1/2" wood slicer from Highland 
Hdwe in Hotlanta, which is around .032 with care.  And yet to be ordered 
is $240 worth of lid-stay hinges from Rockler.

The lack of density of the ebony surprised me. I believe it would float 
in water, till it got soaked at least.  It slurps up finish like a 
sponge on the first coat.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Send Marcus a basket of flowers and a 6 pack of his favorite suds, it 
works.  Thank you Marcus.
