Thanks for the info. Keling is selling this package:

give you anymore info on the drives or not.
Thanks again,

Wine is an emulator, not a virtual machine. This means, in the case of wine,
that you do not need windows - wine takes the place of it. For those of you
who aren't computer geeks, I'd take a look at an inexpensive software package
called Crossover. It takes care of all the details of
The M62-M65 Jeff mentioned earlier are designed to be queued in the motion
queue, and will only be issued at the proper time. So if you hook one of
them to your component which sends the rs232 command, it should be safe.

One problem is that the interpreter is asynchronous to the execution. I believe
that someone (Alex Joni, perhaps) added something to allow you to make sure
that the output had caught up with the interpreter. Off hand, I don't remember
what that was.

John and Andrew,
The motors I have are NEMA 34. I had to look that up. They are
unipolar motors with ratings of 4.5 volt and 1.4 amp. That makes the
motor just under 15 watts which is not a lot but I think I can double
that if I run them as bipolar motors. It should not be that much harder

Also if using AXIS be sure to set [DISPLAY]LATHE=1 so you get the

If you jog to a known location and press Home, the axis will be reset

Then after homing, use Touch Off to locate your work zero.
Wine and Virtual Machines are a bit different, although there is some
overlap.
Wine emulates a PC and allows you to run a single application by fooling
the application into thinking that Windows is there. As far as I know
Windows is not actually involved and no Windows license is needed.

Hi,
I was trying to get my head round the concept of 'virtual machines' the
other day and failed to understand just how they work - do you have to
install the other operating system on the machine you are using the

funny, i just posted similar questions on cnczone's forum (since i'm totally

soon enough myself.

Hi
I've had this idea for a while, as I posted on other cnc lists.
The proposal is to add, probably two lines of code, to echo every character,
as the G-code file is processed, to the serial port, unconditionally.
Using 232, or 232485 multidrop, you could have as many devices as you
want,
That's it. Thanks Dick.
They're talking about 10K RPM which seems like it would be an EMC2
issue. A diesel would not be quite so bad but even 3K raises a bit of
concern about angular resolution. Engineers and math able folk among us
will no doubt fix my humble work below.

Hi Peter. Glad you're running EMC and want to experiment.
The first thing to do with that Ubuntu CD is pop it into the reader and
look to see what's on the disk. If it's a single file xxx.iso then the
burn did not work right. If you see a whole file system with quite a
few directories then
How much RAM have you got. I encounteed exactly the same problem on a dell
optiplex gx60 recently that had 256MB which I believed to be the minimum
required for EMC, however I'd forgotten that the graphics card was integrated
and was using some of the system RAM. As soon as I added another 256MB
I have no experience with this company or its products, but I was able
to find a very short (one-page) datasheet on their website.
It appears that the KL-4030 takes step and direction inputs through
optoisolators. emc has no problem producing step and direction
waveforms--probably this is the
