Great ! Many thanks to everybody, there is a lot of great ideas I will explore soon ! (I have to finish the hardware first... Just operating the steppers with no machine to move is not really useful :/ ) - Matthew Ireland wyeh...@gmail.com a écrit : As the moves I need to do are

[Emc-users] How to learn movements with EMC

2009-09-04 Thread Yann Jautard
Hi all, (sorry for my poor english, I'm from france) I'm doing a machine to apply glue for photovoltaics modules assembly. The goal is to apply a line of silicon glue around a metal frame, before assembly of the frame with the laminated photovoltaic module, and then to make a second pass

the machine will move in a straight line between the coordinates on one line and the coordinates on the next line for example: if the program looks like this X0 Y0 Z0 X1 Y1 Z1 the machine will move from X0 Y0 Z0 to X1 Y1 Z1 in a straight line. all you need to do is collect the end

Hello Yann Interesting project. I saw an early EMC powered pick-and-place machine in Belgium back in the 1990s. No reason that EMC2 can't handle the project easily. I believe that the Axis interface may be overkill. It would be a fairly easy write to create a frame in the Mini interface that

Yann, In addition to what Ray said, if you are up to writing a simple interface you can use emcrsh described here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Emcrsh This is a simple telnet like text interface which can be used to query machine information and issue commands. It can be run

As the moves I need to do are very simples, (just drawing a square with the glue, in fact), I think learning moves like this will be far more easy than creating Gcode. Dude, as a person who spent years writing gcode in a text editor, all I can say is your program will be literally four g1
