and and...  If the receiver shape is just scaled along its taper - then the
work is done with the hal component..  But would we be that lucky?

Indeed. Making Capto receivers would be an ideal way to show off with
LinuxCNC. We just need that pesky equation.

Having a decently high count encoder on the spindle - you don't need a
'servo' spindle..  You can do fancy stuff like...

I have found all of part 2, and the first 5 pages of part 1. I think
that the actual shape definition is in the second half of part 1.

Re: [Emc-users] PCIe parallel port card suggestion

2024-01-02 Thread Todd Zuercher
Meant to say; The onboard (built in) parallel port of a mother board isn't a 
PCI device so lspci -v won't show anything about it.
This command should show your built in parallel port address.
cat /proc/ioports | grep parport

BUT there is no position feedback from any encoder!

No, that requires an actual EPP parallel port. 
The Mesa card would replace the PPMC board. 

But; why doesn’t the onboard port work? It really would be expected to.
