Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

I'm a bit confused. How do you get branched versions, and which one? When you say "something other than", is this a branch from 2.7.4 PRTK? I can't use a non-PRTK branch here. Danny On 3/31/2016 11:13 AM, dan...@austin.rr.com wrote: > But wouldn't that break the ability to home the gantry's

Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

But wouldn't that break the ability to home the gantry's sides independently? That's a huge problem. The gantry isn't going to align itself. A relevant point of the context here is this is going into a community shop, with a constant stream of new users with very limited supervision. So

Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "branch" mean here? I have LinuxCNC 2.7.4 with Preempt-RT kernel support. Would this mean going with something other than that? That's a nonstarter. Danny Dewey Garrett wrote: > As mentioned, you might want to try the

Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

As mentioned, you might want to try the joints_axes12 branch. (See below for example xyzx sim configurations in joints_axes12.) All recent mainline branches (e.g., 2.6.x, 2.7.x, master) support JOG_CONT and JOG_INCR modes as used by 1) the axis gui for keyboard jogging and 2) halui pins with

Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

Huh... XHC jogging doesn't work for the unlinked Y or Z axes though. Yes I do have independent homing switches to avoid the "racking" problem. The gantry moves just find with G-codes and keyboard jog and +/- in World Mode. I'm confused how XHC could be any different. Danny On 3/29/2016 4:49

OK, what I have is: 1. xhc LCD reads coords 2. xhc moves axes slowly in Joint mode, the selector knob sets the axes. What doen't work: 1. xhc has no effect in World mode at all. Either the XYZ page or when you select MDI. 2. The step speed has no effect even when it does step, in Joint

What's this stuff about "missing wires"?I'm a bit confused what it's trying to use that isn't part of a basic config. So it is only possible to include one .hal file? I have one already obviously, then the XHC instructions say to include this xhc_hb04.hal file, which threw an error

[Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

I do like this pendant. I used it under Mach3 with mixed success- it was essential to have SOMETHING on a large router where you're away from the keyboard, but it was kind of a mess the way it responded (and the driver was closed-source). Anyhow, trying to get it to work on 2.7.4, using
