[Emc-users] RTAI, Comedi pre-installed?

2008-06-23 Thread Joel C. Salomon

I know this is probably my own fault for not having limit and home switches (yet) But I keep getting headaches from the Axis behavior of the touch off function in Axis. When I move my zero position finder and then try to do a touch off with 4mm to get the home coordinate, suddenly the OK button
