what about a spring coupler and 2 encoders? and do current measurements
while exerting known levels of torque, make a chart so you know how much
current = how much torque, use current monitoring... isolated ADC across
shunt resistors for each phase of each motor be it AC or DC. It'd jsut be

Thank you very much Noel. I just put inkscape on that box, and grabbed the

Hello, All,
Rather than continue the font thread for my question, I'll just ask
another question.
On starting EMC2 with AXIS, the axis logo gcode is loaded, apparently by
default. I looked in the ini and related setup files but have not found
a way to have AXIS load the default file that "I"

aram,
It would be easier to measure current to the motor as this would be what
creates the torque. Current measurement is easy.
If you want to truly measure the torque, it is done either with a strain
gauge on the shaft or with a spring coupled drive and measure the
deflection of the spring. E
After a hard drive crash I updated my machine to Ver 2.2.2 I have been
having problems with this same problem,IE folowing errors. After EMC has
started I find the following:
jog works OK at 1500 DPM
g1a10f1 fails with following error
g0a10 fails the same
g1a10x1f200 works OK
g0a10x1 works OK
Afte
Spindle load is certainly one way to do it. Whether you do spindle
load or force your cam is going to have to
do a good job of keeping the cutter load constant or you will end up
setting the trip too high to do much good.
The same is true in trying to control such things by setting
following

I have built up a router table with XYZ motion stages. My intent is to
produce wood and
Corian type signs. I have EMC driving steppers via a 1284 parallel port.
It's working
out very well. Now I am looking for fonts in the form of G code. Does
anyone know of any?
I have code to resize and move

Ok i will move over to the Dev list.
Alex, was this a "roll you own" linux distro that you were using? What i
have is a G4 (gray case) UP with 1G ram so it should do ok. I seem to be
seeing a lot about slow compiling, is it realy bad or just takes time? I
