[Emc-users] AXIS manual spindle control

2007-11-03 Thread Stan Blosser
Please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask but... Is there a way to change the increment used when manually increasing or decreasing (F12 F11) spindle speed in AXIS? In other words, if I want my spindle set to 1000 RPM I have to hold down F12 for quite some time to get it up to

Gentlemen, I have been exploring a program called Xrefactory. Xrefactory is supposed to build a display of the project's data flow. I have been in contact with the company that sells Xrefactory. They told me they will download the EMC2 project and run their program to see how to make

Jon, Is indeed rhino. Purchased it some years ago together with rhinocam. A bit expensive for hobby use, but a very nice program and quite intuitive. There is also a render output of a pcb board laminator I once made in the folder http://users.skynet.be/gedp/FILES Geert Jon Elson wrote: Geert

I have now been able to control the X axis motor from EMC2/Axis by running it as root. So the system (Kernel with RTAI and EMC2) appears functional. Does that indicate that my problem is purely a permissions problem somewhere? I did notice that I have to be logged in as root to run the RTAI
