Nice one Stuart - just a bit big for my watch parts!! I'm interested in
5-axis but haven't even managed to get 4 under proper control yet - what
software are you using, I assume you aren't programming it all by hand?
Shame about your difficulty aiming your squirter - must be an old-age
problem

OK, here's what I've found so far.
1. The ftdi_sio driver is included in the generic 8.04 kernel and the
Arduino attaches to port /dev/ttyUSB0 as expected.
1.1. Both GtkTerm and the Python serial library can then communicate
with the Arduino (I programmed it to act like a serial

I'm having problems getting EMC2 up and running on the Intel D945GCLF
motherboard (Atom processor).
Ubuntu 8.04 will not install and boot up unless the LAN support is disabled in
the BIOS. Installing 8.04.1 overcomes this problem.
After installing 8.04.1 I then installed EMC2. Now there seems

If you are lucky you can use the debian way of compiling

For the XY axis:
First bore four holes in a rectangle as large as you can make it. You
want the rectangle to be close to a square to get the most accuracy from
this. Insert dowels into the holes. Now measure the lengths of the
diagonals using a caliper if you have one large enough.
If not,
Fantastic - it works! Thank you for your help Jeff.
Just for the record then, I've rebuilt and installed the kernel
according to Jeff's recipe and now the Arduino talks happily with EMC2
again.
The Arduino IDE still fails to connect to the Arduino board, but that's

Sorry, me again.
Update manager has just popped up to offer me one update:
linux-image-2.6.24-16-rtai.
It looks like it wants to reinstall the release kernel in place of my
patch. Any idea why? Do I just have to keep saying No?

Hi all - just a quick update...
I managed to get a square wave o/p from the original encoders using a
high-speed comparator as Jon suggested. It works ok but every now and then
stops working or seems very erratic. I know the original Pumas 'folded up' on
themselves occasionally due to encoder
At the boot screen, you need to choose the -rtai kernel. You may only
get a few seconds to access the boot screen by hitting escape -- watch
for the prompt.
You can remove the -generic kernel altogether so that the -rtai kernel
is the only option, or you can change the default option to -rtai.
