sounds nice :)
Was wondering if you had any issues using M66.
I see you use it in your code, and I've implemented it pretty recent (just
before 2.2.x).
I had a bug report about it, which I can't replicate, so any insight if it
works for you would be helpful.
Hi Kirk,
I didn't read the code _very_ carefully, so I might be off.
But skimming over it it seems that you do shiftings between adc_step = 7 and
adc_step = 29
that's 22 shiftings if I read it right, the which_bit will be decremented 22
times (after 11 decrements it will probably overflow, and
G41 and G42 D use the int as a reference to the tool table.
G41.1 and G42.1 use the int as the immediate tool diameter to use
G43 uses the int as a reference to the tool table.
G43.1 uses the Iint,Kint as the immediate compensation values (X Z).

Sorry... I misread your question.. disregard my last answer :)

The initial Live CD for 2.2.x (2.2.0 and 2.2.1) had a small error.
After you install from the CD, the installed machine doesn't have

Hi John,
I can't think of any possible reason why it would work with a pyvcp button,
but not when using the parport.
Has anyone used M66 with a parport input?
I seem to be unable to make it work with a hardware input.
I have made it work using a pyVCP button.
I'm told that it works so I
If you do have 2.2.1 installed, are you trying to install by downloading the
deb on another PC, moving over and sudo dpkg -i filename.deb?
If you only tried doing GUI stuff to install it, it might fail as you
reported.
Try the command mentioned above from a terminal.
If that still fails, you
I still have a copy here: http://eneas.juve.ro/~juve/emc/tkemc-win.zip
this is tkemc from emc1, but I think it might just still work with the
latest emc2 (of course lacking some funcitonality).
I think it's easier to set up ssh with X forwarding and run emc2 like that

Hi Andrew,
both emcsh.exe and the emc_running_win_xp you saw were done by compiling
emc1 and rcslib on windows. (the MS Visual C++ project files I started from

I remember having to adjust them quite a biot before they

Hi all,
I just managed to get AXIS to run remotely as a GUI.
In order to do that I had to modify AXIS a bit, but I checked the changes
into CVS.
Here's the steps I did to get it to run:
1. created a new folder in ~/emc2/configs/ called 'axis-remote'
2. copied client.nml, a sample ini, var and

needs we should consider?
