Re: [Emc-users] new kinematics

For source code exploration there are a few more things that it's nice to be aware of: * lxr web page, which allows you to see definition and use of any identifier, http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/lxr * tags, search for the definition of any identifier from vi or emacs (make tags target in src to

[Emc-users] Classic Ladder file

Dear All, In 2005 the EMC gurus did a retrofit on a Mazak at the CNC-workshop. The machine had a toolchanger. Was the toolchanger controlled by Classic Ladder and if it was, is the .clp file in one of the sample configurations of a standard EMC2 install? If it isn't, can someone

[Emc-users] Step/Direction Drivers

I am starting work on my mill setup, which uses Sanyo BLDC motors and Rutex drives. The Rutex drives have SPI and step/direction inputs. Without thinking too much about it, I brought up the standard stepper configuration in Axis and before I tried to command a move, I grabbed the motor shaft and

[Emc-users] Output Port Blues on EMC2, Ubuntu 6.06

I was running EMC using BDI 4.49. Changed over to EMC2, Ubuntu 6.06. The mini interface runs on the computer just fine, but the machine no longer communicates with my stepper box on LPT1. Does anyone know what file contains the I/O and pin settings for EMC2 on Ubuntu 6.06? W. Bickford

[Emc-users] gantrykins.c

Gentlemen, emc2-trunk/src/emc/kinematics/gantrykins.c It looks to me like line 94 is incorrect: is - char *coordinates = XYZABC s/b - char *coordinates = XYZABCUVW. Is the 'is' correct or is the 's/b' correct? thanks Stuart

Re: [Emc-users] Output Port Blues on EMC2, Ubuntu 6.06

If you did a fresh install, your EMC should be like mine. Parallel port pin assignments are made in a .hal file that is referred to by an .ini file. Look in your home directory under .../emc2/configs (or /home/your_home/emc2/configs) for a directory that matches the name of the configuration you
