Re: [Emc-users] Serport

Gene, just expanded to dual par ports, and am eliminating optos from my stepper drives with a direct via db25 Bob . My drive is +-10 and I do have a Chinese opto'd bob that has a pwm , but it is not bi-directional . And I don't really want to put a flip flop relay in the output , so I'm still rathe

[Emc-users] Serport

Can serport be used to supply +-10 v pwm for servo drive control? Is the voltage output controllable? Wiki says 232 voltage can be +-13 or +- 24 so I think voltage could be an issue. I got the serport docs here , http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/serport.9.html Is there anything else I nee

I'm using an nvidia 8860 here, and it works fine with the Debian uspace system, in a Dell Optiplex GX260. It has the Intel i810 on-board video chipset that does NOT work reliably with certain Linux kernels/xwindows. Jon I have had real time errors with this computer, very sporadic , I always attr

Bottom line, you will not get even close to the support from mach that you will get here from this great bunch of users and developers. Not to sound snaky but maybe you should spend time in the documents and forum here. It has only taken me more than an hour to install, setup and run linuxcnc once
