Re: [Emc-users] Plasma Torch Height Control

I have one concern about the use of serial interface for THC. The serial components are notoriously slow and sometimes are very far behind the real-time events. With THC you need very fast and in time movements. Unless there is an interface to the Mesa serial channels, I would be cautious to

Re: [Emc-users] Plasma Torch Height Control

I can see some plasma machines have serial interface also ( http://forum.robotsinarchitecture.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=232.0;attach=335). Also found this thread - https://forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/27-driver-boards/21445-rs-485-with-7i76. Is serial plasma control over "plasma/serial"

[Emc-users] output sink of the 667 hall effect?

Greetings all; I see by the spec sheet that the allegro 667 gear sensor can sink up to 25 mills. But with 3 such sensors on the end of a long cable back to the breakout board, probably 7 foot by the time I get it routed, I am concerned with the potential for crosstalk noise in spite of

There's stranded Ethernet cable. For that UV curable stuff, get a 9 LED UV flashlight, cheap on eBay. Works much better than the twee little single LED that comes with the stuff. Reminds me I need to goop up the USB cord for my phone. From: Gene Heskett To:

Re: [Emc-users] output sink of the 667 hall effect?

I think the RC filter idea would work OK. Gear teach are after all a low frequency signal, so a filter made with a cap size for a corner freq of (say) 100KHz will keep RF out of the line. That said the "correct" way to do this is with a pair of driver/receiver chips. If you use RS422 (that is

Let me know when you expect to be doing the HGR run. Not sure if I can get off work, but I'll try. (I live 20 minutes from HGR.) On Mon, Sep 12, 2016, at 10:12 AM, Stuart Stevenson wrote: > Standing here ready to go in and wondering if anyone on the list is here > today. > Am planning an HGR run
