 opinion, and the post processor is easy to modify(If you know any

 So its web based, but $300 won't buy you maintenance for any other equally
 powerful cam.

[Emc-users] Fedora compile

[Przemek Klosowski]

I just compiled LinuxCNC on a fresh, minimal Fedora installation, and had
to fight the dependencies. Fedora/Redhat aren't covered in LinuxCNC
developer guides, so I thought I'd write it up. I'd be glad to write
something for the website---it wasn't obvious to me how to get about
editing the wiki; could someone point me in the right direction?

Anyway, here are the requirements, to be installed by something like 'yum
install' or 'dnf install':

autoconf
gcc-c++
python-devel

tcl-devel
tk-devel
tclx
bwidget
tkimg-devel
blt

glib2-devel
gtk2-devel
readline-devel
boost-python-devel
boost-devel

mesa-libGLU-devel
libXmu-devel
libudev-devel
libmodbus-devel

Hi,

I'm waiting on 7i78's and a few other cards to show up that I'm out of 
stock at the moment. I'll work on adding UPS to the shipping options. 
Turkey is another country that it is painful to use USPS.

There goes my idea of a serial robot with a Stewart platform in every joint :-)

Grepping the source for the number 9 might be enlightening.

Re: [Emc-users] Joint-Axis Branch?

[Dewey Garrett]

In joints_axes branch (latest joints_axes14), 
it is a compile-time setting: 

  emc/motion/emcmotcfg.h:#define EMCMOT_MAX_JOINTS 9
  emc/motion/emcmotcfg.h:#define EMCMOT_MAX_AXIS 9

There may be old, unknown, stale assumptions that these
values are identical or otherwise related.

So changing for a single configuration could be done and
tested, changing in the base code affecting any possible
configuration would necessitate some extensive testing
i imagine.

[Emc-users] Joint-Axis Branch?

I have a question, that I can't say that I've ever seen definitively answered. 
I know that axis are limited to 9, but is there the same limit for joints? If 
it is limited to 9 in regulare Linuxcnc, is this different in the Joints-Axis 
branch?

Re: [Emc-users] Thanks and a question

[Jim Craig]

John,

I have been reading that. I may give that a try sometime but for now it 
is working great with the gantry component. It was not that difficult to 
set up. In fact the first time I tried to set it up it worked. I just 
needed to get the home switches set so that it was aligned and then 
touch the home all button and "Bam" square gantry.

Re: [Emc-users] hal edm (User interface) --> all kind of cutters

[Nicklas Karlsson]

It is possible to add things to user interface with glade interface designer 
although I have not figured out how yet. There is also suitable m-codes to 
adjust parameters for EDM generator.

There is motion.spindle although in reality there are all kind of cutters. In 
the long term although it is not very important since there are simple work 
arounds I guess it would be good to think about what kind of cutters there are 
and just "motion.spindle".

Jim,

Is your gantry a dual motor gantry? If so JA13 can now home a gantry 
with no special setup like the gantry component.

[Emc-users] Thanks and a question

[Jim Craig]

First of all I want to thank everyone that provided advice on this
plasma cutter build I have been working on with my buddy. We finally
have it all up and running with the Gantry HAL component and the THC HAL
component. I want to especially thank John T. for the advice on the THC
and all of the support files and sample configs he has made on the
plasma side of things. I also want to thank pommen for the Gantry HAL
example on the forum. That was a lot of help also.

I made several test cuts with he machine trying to get THC up and
running. I finally got it and we then made the first real project cut
with the machine Wednesday night. Here is apicture 

  of what we
cut out. It worked really well.

Anyway my question is about THC. after cutting several different
thicknesses of metals it appears the tip voltage needs to be around 115V
for the 0.19" cut height as described in the plasma cutter manual. So
right now I have divided arc voltage set to 1/30 of actual arc voltage.
There is another setting in the plasma to set it to 1/16.67. I think we
should change to this divisor so that we get more resolution. I have
seen the voltage spike to around 150V at times but 1/16.67 would still
be less than 10V.

I am resolution handicapped anyway because we are using software encoder
over the parallel port and I am using the resolution divider of 1/128 on
the THCAD-10 card so that we don't miss pulses. I initially tried it at
1/32 and we were missing pulses like crazy so I went to 1/128 to be
safe. However I think the resolution is pretty low at the current time.

Do you think the 1/16.6 would be safe for the THCAD-10 card.

I think I will try to use the minmax HAL component to track the maximum
value out from the THCAD and determine if the 1/16.6 would cause the
signal to the THCAD-10 to ever exceed 10V. From what I read on the
documentation of the THCAD-10 I don't think that if it did exceed 10V it
would hurt it, but what do I know!

Thanks again for the advice and help.

Jim

Sebastian,

I have some catching up to do. I do not think I have done a commit since

I am currently out of town but will look at it next week after I return.

Hi Eric!

Do you have any interest in maintaining linuxcnclcd in the Joints/Axes
branch?  There are some changes to how jogging and homing are handled, that
require updates to all the UIs.
