Re: [Emc-users] Repost: Teach with joystick. (Welding)

2008-08-13 Thread Daniel Kavanagh
Typo Alert!

 I occurred to me that all you need to do is poll your positions once a
 second and then construct a G01 from that.

  For the feed rate use G93 F60, inverse time, so it completes the move
 in one sixtieth of a second.

  Edit..one sixtieth of a minute

  I think a one second position update interval will work fine for
 welding, but it could be any speed.

  Does this sound workable?

[Emc-users] Power Supply. was Re: ini.fiiles (aaron Moore)

2008-05-28 Thread Daniel Kavanagh
Aaron,

  Try splitting the power supplies, one to x, one to y and z ummm,

  Z and side to side, other to the big heavy gantry alone.

  If it's also happening in Mach then it's prolly power supply.

  I looked up those power supplies, they are switch mode, as opposed to 
chunks of transformer. Copper and Iron are your friends.

  I tried a switching supply on my router and it acted crazy, worked on 
one axis at a time but on multi axis moves it would stutter and stall.

  Dan

  P.S. My first machine was a hell of a learning curve. I think I made 
every mistake possible.

Re: [Emc-users] Scale and Rotate

2008-05-18 Thread Daniel Kavanagh
Hi John,

   Do scale and/or rotate exist in EMC2?
 
 for display or machining?

  For machining.


   Where is my PyVCP hiding?
 
 did it disapear or you never had it and want it?

  I never had it and want it.

 what is the code you are using to create your PyVCP?

  Code? What is this code. Seriously, I don't know anything about the
PyVCP. I just keep hearing it referred to and I can't find out much
about it other than I think it would be handy. Do I have to construct it
from scratch?

 How does EMC2 build bicycles?

  I make bicycles. EMC is helping me make bicycle parts. A bike frame is
not just tubes, but lots of little parts that get welded on and in
between the tubes.

   So far I have  machined some test parts and turned one widget that
has made it to production.

Dan

[Emc-users] Four Parallel ports

2008-05-02 Thread Daniel Kavanagh
Hi,

  I stuck 3 PCI parallel port cards into my pc. Without any work at all 
I could print from two of them. Very neat and I am assuming because they 
will print I can attach those for extra I/O.

  But the 3rd card was not a parallel port, as you only get three total, 
(one on board and two expansion on the PCI bus)

  It was there in the hardware profile and it looked just like all the 
others but it did not get the parallel port driver attached to it.

  Is there another way to read and write to it? for extra I/O?

Dan
