would require either very consistent materials or some feedback on

Hm, looks like rt_spin_lock() and friends are not exported through rtapi.
Why would you want rtapi functions for spinlocks ?
It looks like it would be easy to add a bunch of functions (or maybe

I was thinking there would need to be a time component though. A click

Hi, Is there an easy way of testing the parallel port without having an
oscilloscope? A friend's controller board started smoking (Z axis driver
chip) and now none of the axis work. It's pretty easy to replace chips,
check solder joints, etc. but how to test the parallel port?
thanks, Andy

I usually use a wire to connect an output to an input, then use halmeter
to see if it toggles.
But in some cases this might not work (needs pull-ups or such)

Are steplen, stepspace, dirhold and dirsetup in nanoseconds or microseconds?
For instance, is setp stepgen.0.stepspace 1000 absurdly wrong?
Or does that mean 1 microsecond?
Did the specs change somewhere between versions?

Thanks,

Hmm... I think I've missed this feature. What was the original purpose? It

What I need right now is some brainstorming what you really would like to
have in a meeting (except the bbq). What type of classes? A retrofit?
Seminar? Visits? Please shout it out! :)

Hello Guys.
Anubody Kown if a way to change the orientation of the Tool in the
the AXIS gui?
i like to see the tool in a horizontal way (not vertically)
like a Horizontal machining center.

Well lets see here - are you talking about an automated Z touch off plate with
a script/macro of some kind that moves the tool to a certain machine coordinate
and touches a plate, triggering the probe circuit and identifying the new Z
offset value to use then returns to machining after
Hi.
i have been playing with the tougth for a while, can you use the probe
function. in my case move to a position press a button conected to probe
in to record the coordinates and then go on to the next poss.. or if you
ned a track just get a switching signal to the probe pin, and then if

Sebastian,
I updated to the latest release, and started playing with hostmot2. I ran
the following commands under halcmd:
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_5i20 config=firmware=hm_5i20 num_stepgens=2 num_pwmgens=1
num_encoders=0
I then did a show pin, which returned no pins. Shouldn't I be seeing pins

The others have different dates so I assume I dont want them.
Does .gz mean its compressed?

You could define a bogus B-axis and use a G0B90 .. but I'm not sure how nice
