Mechanical centering is quite primitive. I'm looking into OpenCV for
the image recognition. I have to be able to place 0603's and SSOP's.
I do have pressure sensors already but not using it yet in code to
detect issues.
For feeders though, I'm only building some grooved tracks to guide the

Oh yes, LOTS to do still, but this is the first successfully working
PnP test. The A-axis works but we didn't do any rotation for this
test. I also still need to build feeders, add camera & image

In between going crazy over a radio, I'll try that tomorrow too.
Thanks John.

All-
I'm about a month into retrofitting an older Anilam 1100M 3-axis mill to
EMC2 using a Mesa 5i23 PCI board with a 7i33TA for servo interfacing and
7i37TA for general I/O. I'm documenting the build here:
http://code.google.com/p/sector67-sandbox/wiki/ProjectSheetCake
with my build notes here
Comment out most of the unused modelines and it should start faster.

Nomenclature clash:
VESA modes are a set of standardized video resolutions that work on
VESA compatible monitors. As you found out, they don't support 16:9
modes very well. They are fixed/enshrined/hardwired

Not quite. (but partly my fault)

I will throw this out there and see what happens. Gene, have you ever
been to phoronix.com? They cover open source drivers for video cards
from time to time. Including more often than not the drivers for ATI
cards. I wish I could say look at driver xxx.x, but I don't really
know which one is useful

In the good old days that Przemek alluded to, when US$10K-US$100K
Unix-based workstations were being sold just because they could run even
more expensive CAD/CAM software and there were only a few choices being
offered in graphics hardware, the software driver situation was barely

Dear EMC users,
I have a problem when starting EMC2. I have enclosed the error-file with
this email. Sometimes I do not have this problem at all when exiting EMC and
running it again many times. But I cannot run EMC when the problem starts.
It keeps on giving the same error (non stop). I have t
