[Emc-users] 3-phase pwmgens for 7i39

2011-09-28 Thread Viesturs Lācis
Hello, gentlemen! I am trying to load 3-phase pwmgens on 7i43 for 7i39, but I receive error. With this one EMC loads correctly: CONFIG=firmware=hm2/7i43-4/SVST4_4_7I39.BIT num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=3 num_stepgens=2 Note that this line requests single-phase pwm generators. So according to this

I'm writing a user-space program to manage spindle speed on a machine with a VFD for the motor, and drive ratios set by belt and gear changes. From available HAL signals I would like to determine whether a spindle speed change is due to the speed override slider in axis, or due to a gcode

Hi EMC users, I have EMC running on an old pc, latency number about 25000. I got an occasional real time error with latency number set at 22000. I drew a part in CamBam, generated some g-code and cut a part. The part looked right but the caliper says every dimension cut a little small. A
