[Emc-developers] Master not compiling

2014-02-25 Thread Marius Liebenberg
Hi I did a fresh pull of master and found that I needed libusb. I did a sudo apt-get libusb-1.0.0-dev Then I reconfigured and compiled. I found a number of error in hal/user_comps/ahc-hb04.cc The first error was g++: @LIBUSB10_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory After that a whole lot of errors.

Correct it reads the values from the PID pins as well as the current file setting. You can change the values over and over until you are satisfied and only then write to file. So all the time it is reading and writing the PID pins. I think it is very important to not drop the tuning function
