Hi! this is the first time I use a Mailing-List, so I hope I will make no failures! I found the Arduino interface for EMC2 a few weeks ago on this page: http://axis.unpy.net/01198594294 In my opinion it seemed to me as a good solution for my selfbuild MPG so I tried to use it yesterday

From looking at the .ini and .hal files the first thing I would do is zero the home values and home offset values in the .ini file. You can set them as you wish after the axis will home. I would use a very small value to help determine the direction of motion after the homing is done. I don't

I'd love to be able to do that.. but I've misplaced the original CD and the ISO that made it. I made a bad assumption and decided to toss the ISO since I could always download it form SOMEWHERE again later. On May 21, 2010, at 3:11 PM, Przemek Klosowski wrote: On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 2:50

Thanks Alex; Seriously. That is a list of WHAT is available, or what to do. I was hoping for list of HOWTO and WHY to pick from the WHAT list for a given feature or function. Most of the traffic on this mailing list is people trying to discover what to put into the .ini and .hal files to make

Don, Can you give an examples of what you are talking about? Are you looking for a HOWTO on a Mill conversion or a lathe Conversion... a plasma cutter, a router...?? You could write a book on how to do that... In fact I think there are a few that have already been written! EMC2 is used for

Ok.. so here's the weird thing... I completely purged the NVIDIA proprietary drivers from the system, and now OpenGL loads with the NV driver? Some weird incompatibility going on I suppose. But now I noticed that I don't have any sound.. can't win for loosing... I guess I don't really
