[Emc-users] Problem with genserkins

2017-02-25 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
I am having some issues with genserkins running a robot arm (this is the ST R-17 I brought with me to Wichita running LinuxCNC with joints-axis running on Debian Wheezy with RTAI). Coordinated moves in XYZ seem to work as expected. All the joints working together to keep the end of the arm

[Emc-users] encoder Q too

2017-02-25 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all; I note the encoder module does not specifically have a "direction" output. Is it sufficient to run the velocity thru a wcomp, compare to 0., and use the over/under pins for multiswitche's direction to count? Seems like it ought to work so I'll hack up some more hal code.

[Emc-users] OT - R Drive AntiBacklash

2017-02-25 Thread Tomaz T .
I'm in doing a little research on replacing "low pitch" slow ballscrews with faster R and found this anti backlash system: https://www.damencnc.com/en/components/mechanical-parts/rack---pinion/320 Does anyone here use it, and is it worth of investment compared to single pinion "standard"

[Emc-users] multiswitch Q's

2017-02-25 Thread Gene Heskett
Hi all; Couple problems with multiswitch. Default output for no input is 0001, not . Why? Cannot be loadrt'd with the names= option. cfg=4,4 works fine. Why? I would really like to use the state as the default, gain=1.0 position. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be

That's really interesting. Thanks for the link. I read some things before about the Arduino overhead impacting user code. That is a glaring example. I'm trying to stay as generic as possible.. if I need to dip into the hardware specifics because of the overhead in the Arduino I will, but it
