Re: [Emc-users] Realtime Error ?
OK, I see the following in the documentation: When you get this error: RTAPI: ERROR: Unexpected realtime delay on task n This error is generated by rtapi based on an indication from RTAI that a deadline was missed. It is usually an indication that the BASE_PERIOD in the [EMCMOT] section of the ini file is set too low. You should run the Latency Test for an extended period of time to see if you have any delays that would cause this problem. If you used the Stepconf Wizard, run it again, and test the Base Period Jitter again, and adjust the Base Period Maximum Jitter on the Basic Machine Information page. You might have to leave the test running for an extended period of time to find out if some hardware causes intermittent problems. LinuxCNC tracks the number of CPU cycles between invocations of the real-time thread. If some element of your hardware is causing delays or your realtime threads are set too fast you will get this error. Note This error is only displayed once per session. If you had your BASE_PERIOD too low you could get hundreds of thousands of error messages per second if more than one was displayed. So I need to either increase the base period or do something to lower my jitter. I will work on it and see what happens. Any other advise would be welcome.

Re: [Emc-users] Realtime Error ?
Jon, I did mean us, not ms. I sent another message to try and clear the muddy waters on that one. So what is the jitter limit at which the realtime error is thrown? Is this something that can be changed in the configuration somewhere? I have been under the impression that 25us is acceptable for stepping as long as you can generate the speed you need within the acceptable limits. Many have claimed that you need very low jitter values and others have claimed that it is not as critical as some make it seem. I did notice that nothing was changing in the halfile when I would change the jitter value in stepconf. I was curious if this was changing anything except the theoretical maximum pulse rate and therefore the theoretical maximum velocity.

[Emc-users] Realtime Error ?
I have set up my router with my new computer. This computer runs at about 25ms jitter on the base thread for hours with 2 glxgears running, moving windows, copying files etc. This system runs off a parport, and I set initially set it up in stepconf wizard to have a 30ms jitter value. When I run LinuxCNC I get a realtime error a few minutes after I start the program. I am using 2.7.4. This is repeatable and happens each and every time I run LinuxCNC. I reran stepconf and changed the jitter value to 50ms to see if that would fix it and it did not change anything. What could be the issue here?

[Emc-users] Realtime error and Nvidia
This might be more of an UBUNTU problem than EMC2 but I have to start somewhere. I Just set up a new box (Emachines Pentium III 640M ram 80G hd with working network connection) Using latest LiveCD version and all updates as of yesterday. EMC2 runs fine and the machine (converted DM tabletop mill) runs fine..BUT... I am getting realtime errors. I am aware from previous discussions here that the EMC2 realtime error I am getting is probably caused by the Nvidia video card/driver in my computer. I replaced the NVidia (MGA slot) with a Matrox Millennium (PCI slot) and changed setup to use the PCI slot. Now all I can get is 640 x 480 resolution. When I try to change resolution in Ubuntu Preferences there is only one choice. I Downloaded what I think is the appropriate driver for the card but it didn't help. Maybe I don't know how to get the system to utilize the driver I recall that someone said here that I could use the NVidia card if I used a generic driver. How do I get one of those and tell the system to use it?

[Emc-users] Realtime error and Nvidia
Sorry if I seem a little slow, it's only because I am a little slow. I presently have the Nvidia card installed (in the MGA slot) The xorg.conf file correctly says: Section Device Identifier NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Mx/Mx400] Driver nv Bus ID PCI: 1:0:0 This setup works great EXCEPT that I am getting the real time errors. Can I change to some other driver that doesn't cause the interrupts and real time errors and keep this card ; or do I need to take out the Nvidia card and use the Matrox card with its own driver??

Remember, your problem may not be the video card at all - but it is definitely the first thing to check. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Emc-users] Realtime error and Nvidia
You wrote MGA slot... I assume you really meant AGP slot? Any chance there is another Device section in the file, using the nvidia driver? If not, I doubt the video card is the problem. Can you provide the output of the command lspci? Mark --- Cecil Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry if I seem a little slow, it's only because I am a little slow.

Mark, Of course you're right I meant AGP slot. I didn't find another Device driver with nvidia in the config file. I hope that's not bad news. I really appriciate the help.
