[Emc-users] hal modules - i2c, 1wire, uart...

2010-02-16 Thread Klemen Dovrtel
Would it be possible to make/compile hal modules for standard communication protocols like i2c, 1wire, uart,... For instance, I would like to connect a 1wire temperature sensor directly to parallel port for monitoring/control the temperature of machine/process. Has anybody tried this? Regards

Hi Dustin, In your HAL file, you need to delete the following lines: net estop-out = iocontrol.0.user-enable-out net estop-out = iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in And add the followings (this is for estop linked to the parport pin 13): net estop = parport.0.pin-13-in net estop =

Hello, In answer to the original question we are using a simple usb joypad for jogging. You can add other features to the extra buttons. These buttons can be combined with the halui feed-override-decrease and halui feed-override-increase pins. There is great information on the joypad

In the Stepconf Wizard you can just select E Stop from the drop down list for input pin and the connections are made for you. On 2/16/2010 4:19 AM, acemi list wrote: Hi Dustin, In your HAL file, you need to delete the following lines: net estop-out= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out net estop-out

My solution to this problem is to use an external micro to do the temperature monitoring and talk back to HAL via rs-232. This is all based upon http://axis.unpy.net/01198594294 I am actually using an MSP430 rather than a Adruino board, but the principle is the same. No reason why you could not

PWM is pulse width modulation. PDM is pulse density modulation. In PWM you have a carrier frequency, a duty cycle, and a resolution. The duty cycle specifies what fraction of the cycle should be high, or active. The resolution determines how accurately the requested duty cycle can be
