[Emc-users] Snapshot of backplot

Greetings all; I had asked for an explanation of why the run trace, and the initial trace, do not align in the backplot, and it was suggested that I was using something in the G90 to G92 in my code. So It removed any of that from my code, with no effect detectable in removing them. The first

Wow that is a mess... the first thing I noticed is your wrapping your code with % AND using a program end M2. You only use one or the other. M2 resets a bunch of things (see the manual) and %% does not. I commented out the G38 and corresponding G10 lines and the back plot as viewed from Z is

[Emc-users] Hostmot2 (Use two cards)

I am trying to use two ethernet cards at the same time with the hostmot2 driver but get an error message "waitpid failed". I suspect this is because I try to load the low level driver twice, do anybody have an idea if this might be the case? Regards Nicklas Karlsson

Re: [Emc-users] Problem Connecting LCNC to G540 from PCIE Port

Well spotted! Bill, you need to either un-select "simulator" in stepconf, or swap "sim_parport" for "hal_parport" in your hal. Doh! Got it running. Thanks everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlfAynGyWaU=youtu.be Bill >

[Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

What is a good and usable configuration for a machine to drive my beginner 3-axis CNC router? Is Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black an easy solution, or would getting an old desktop still a more bullet proof (and easy to implement) solution? Thanks for your time!

Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

Raspberry is out. Not fast enough. The Beagle works because it has two PSUs which are peripheral processors that take care of the stepping for you. Thing is, you'lll need some sort of cape for the Beagle which costs extra. You'll need some sort of Break Out Board (BOB) for the PC and perhaps

Re: [Emc-users] Rookie question - what to get to run LinCNC easily/inexpensively

One clarification - LinuxCNC is only supported on PC hardware. The MachineKit fork of LinuxCNC supports ARM processors, and many people are using it on BeagleBoneBlacks, particularly for 3D printers. MachineKit is much more "bleeding edge" than LinuxCNC, though, so if you are looking for a

Re: [Emc-users] Hostmot2 (Use two cards)

The "waitpid" error is a very generic error that indicates some sub-program has failed. So look for other messages that give a more specific indication of the problem. Here is a loadrt line I used when I was testing 3 hostmot2 ethernet boards: loadrt hm2_eth config="num_encoders=1
