[Emc-users] Modbus Serial Card CNC4PC

2007-12-25 Thread John Thornton
Anyone use the modbus serial card with EMC2? It has 4 bit analog input that could tell me my arc voltage... Also the control pendant they sell could be used with the modbus card... Any drawbacks to using this? Thanks John

A while back, I tried printing an encoder with my CAD program. I didn't get very good results. My laser printer's resolution, which is great for printing documents, was lousy for encoders. What resolution and how small a disk is possible with your method? Although, I suppose for a spindle, a

I would feel confident printing 256 lines on a 2 inch diameter encoder, with my 600 dpi HP laserjet 1018, but I haven't tried it out with a sensor yet. At 512 lines, the spacing between lines starts to look uneven. A 7 inch disc with 1024 lines looks pretty good. Kinko's has 1200 dpi laser

[Emc-users] Additional I/O Modbus card.

2007-12-25 Thread Peter Homann
Hi, Just a quick not before I head bush for the Christmas camping trip. For additional I/O via Modbus have a look at the ModIO. It has discrete inputs and outputs, analog inputs, a 20x4 character LCD interface, plus a few other interfaces.

Good try. KPR is a photoresist made by Kodak. It is good enough to do wafers. It needs reasonably energetic UV to polymerize and then toluene to dissolve off the non-polymerized part for etching. D On Dec 25, 2007, at 4:15 PM, Kirk Wallace wrote: KPR? Kentucky Paranormal Research
