and to use hal without linuxcnc... assuming you have a RIP ( run-in-place build of linuxcnc ) somewhere open a terminal, cd pathtoyourRIP . scripts/linuxcnc-environment scripts/halrun -I -f /apthtoyourcustomhalfile/yourcustomhalfile it is very important to have the '.' in the 2nd line my hal

i think if i am 'in' the directory that contains the scripts folder ( done by 'cd pathtoyourRIP' ) then i can identify the script with just 'scripts/blah' not true? isnt '.'(meaning 'from here') the default for execution path? tomp On 01/15/2016 03:23 AM, John Thornton wrote: > it's > >

John its likely good practice to use ./ , not to assume (old joke) so you are right heres example of the oscillator reading files for data gui and mcodes using bash and python https://videobin.org/+86p/azg.html On 01/15/2016 03:23 AM, John Thornton wrote: > it's > > . ./scripts/rip-environment

[Emc-developers] StepNC file as input to LinuxCNC

Dear All, I'm a graduate student at NC State University. I'm working on a research project to develop a feedback based compiler for CNC machines. This compiler is proposed to accept StepNC file and directly control CNC machine via CMC. To make this possible we plan to integrate ISO14649 toolkit

CMC? compact motion controller? central message controller? C model compiler? color me confused? ( my best bet ) I found 292 acronym definitions but haven't found one that fits your message well what is CMC? the project you mention tried to convert Step to gcode. internally linuxcnc does not

I referred CMC to Canonical Machine Commands. CMC is used in NML(but I'm not sure). ISO 14649 toolkit converts StepNC file to Canonical Machine Commands. So I prefer using the toolkit. G-Code is specific to a machine. So it needs to be modified before using in a different one. But StepNC file can
