I downloaded engrave-11.py from
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_EMC_G-Code_Generators and
made a text engrave file. For every cut it gets deeper and deeper, if I set
the depth to 0.1 mm it will cut more than 5 mm at the last letter. Is that a
known problem?

Sorry, I realise I was short with info. I'll check tonight what font I used
and if it looks ok in Axis (which I think it did yesterday).

Did a test a minute ago. I used the romand.cxf font and changed the scale
to 0.1 for both X and Y, the rest is untouched. It looks good in the Axis
display, but it seems that Z is zeroed all the time and when the cut is
done (13 characters) my original

Took a picture to show what happens. Really weird, when I cut straight
through the piece it's exactly the same depth all way.

Hi all.
I bought a super cheap Logitech gamepad and it works like a charm. But I
have some small problems due to lack of knowledge how to config the hal
file. I also have a very bad Internet connection at the moment so I can't
really search around to find a solution, so I hope you guys can give

Do you use shielded cables for your encoders? I know that the same error
appeared on two different machines when the cables were unshielded. One got
it when running a servosystem and the other was a stepper machine that got
it when homing (unshielded home switch cables).

Oh, those small facts... :)

What he failed to mention in the original post is that this is an
absolute encoder, running with a high end interface card and a driver he
wrote :)

hi everyone
i run latency test . i found this result MAX jitter for servo thread
nearly 400,000 NS and MAX jitter for Base thread nearly 160,000 NS.
which is not good rate , i would be grateful if anyone tell me how reduce
machines only 5 years old were
flying into the trash.
A large precision lathe made in Germany... tight and flawless... went
for $800.
The low offerings might be what is normal right now...
Best of luck!

Jeff,
Thanks for your help!
With Tk8.5-dev instead of Tk8.4-dev I was able to build and run emc with
axis as simulator on Ubuntu 9.04.

Hi,
If I got it
Is the forum on the website supposed to be used or not? It's pretty secret
and not too obvious where to find it, but there's some activity there.
Running both a mailing list and a forum at the same time just increase the
places of discussions.
