 Seems like a waste to only use up to 2ms of the 20 ms time slot...

Not really: this 'protocol' was originally developed for arrange more
channels on the same wire.

The repetition period is just 20 ms that allow for a dozen of servo controlled.

Jon,
it depends on where you are looking at.
In an RC system for model plane, if you look to the RF modulator input, you are 
right (first row of 
schema you posted).
But if you look to each servo control wire (the original topic of this thread), 
then the information 
position is coded with the pulse width.
Really that depends from the original Phil Kraft design and implementation 
(dated middle '60 if I 
remember well).

The _recent_ RC servos are quite forgiving of the frequency of this pulse: the 
more advanced ones 
have a microcontroller inside in order to drive the electrical engine to a 
quite high PWM frequency 
and get lesser losses.
That was not necessarily true in the past though, because the old RC servo 
circuits heavily depend 
on the pulses period of 20-30 ms in order to correctly drive the small engine 
inside.

Re: [Emc-users] and now for something completely different---visualizing EMC2 configurations

Hi Kent, all,

another example of a software similar to what you are developing is GNU Radio 
Companion.

http://www.joshknows.com/grc

Albeit it is from a totally unrelated field (digital radio and DSP), this 
software too deals with 
blocks, wires and so on.
Moreover it generates python code that implements the interconnections that the 
user draws, 
producing a fully functional Python program.
It is written in Python with pygtk.

Re: [Emc-users] Remote desktop

2011-07-27 Thread andrea montefusco
 The question is - what would be the best way to do that?
 The client with a welding robot also expressed such an idea, but I
 talked them out of it. But now I start to think that it might be worth
 trying to implement it as a part of my customer service.

 I am aware of VNC, but maybe there are some built-in tools in Lucid?

If you manage to tolerate wine (no pun intended), try

Hi all,

Did anyone ever used this sensor ?

http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0d59/0900766b80d59dc8.pdf

on the paper it seems very interesting (1024 steps/turn up to 30K RPM).

BTW: how about using them as encoders in a small gantry router ?

[Emc-users] OT: how to interface a quadrature encoder w/o EMC2

2009-09-03 Thread Andrea Montefusco
First of all I apologize for this off topic question.
I have an quadrature encoder
to use it as main tune control in a software defined radio.

   http://www.montefusco.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=knob

to use it as main tune control in a software defined radio.
I would like to interface it (on Linux Ubuntu) via a parallel
port but without install the EMC2 software.
(I know EMC2 because I have a little stepper mill controlled
with EMC2).
Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance for your time

Re: [Emc-users] SheetCam TNG V0.0.24 for Linux released

 The Linux version comes as two packages, the libraries and the

 installed first. Once they are installed you should not have to install
 them again for quite a while. The application, SheetCamTNG-0.0.24.deb
 will change with every release.

Installing sheetcamlibs-2.8.7.deb on Ubuntu 7.0.4 I get the following message:

/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0', che si trova anche nel pacchetto libwxbase2.8-0

it seems that your package contains some file included in libwxbase2.8-0 that
is already installed on my system.

Note that I dont have previous version of sheetcam installed in my system.

As quickdirty solution I forced the overwrite of offending files:

dpkg --force-overwrite -i sheetcamlibs-2.8.7.deb

Finally, I run the program: wow !
Many thanks for give to us (Linux-minded) this thing.

 Hi,
 
 since i couldn't find any simple gcode editor and since i wanted to do some
 simple tests i started to add some gcode output for xfig/fig2dev.
 
 Up to now (after two hours work) only straight lines are supported (and thus 
 polygons and everything that's composed of lines), but adding more features 
 shouldn't be too difficult.
 
 I wondering if i am doing a useless job since someone else already did this 
 or 
 there's some other editor i am missing. Do you know of something as simple as 
 xfig being able to write gcode? Do you think such an xfig patcg would be a 
 useful contribution?
 
 For future versions i am e.g. thinking about using the line width of xfig 
 to 
 select tools and the layers of xfig for different z-values. Do you think this 
 makes sense? If there something the color or line style could be mapped to?

Great idea !
xfig allow to associate comment to single object or group of object
(COMPUND).
Its possible associate CNC info here.
If you need a tester I am here.
I have a working CNC machine (EMC2 driven of course) for real tests.
