[Emc-users] Hermle two speed motor wiring.

Hi Guys I posted something earlier about my Hermle vertical shaft motor wiring. It seems like a multi spindle motor. Can someone help me with a wiring diagram please? It only has 6 terminals like a normal 3 phase motor but the ohm readings are odd. Thanks in advance Johann

Greetings everybody; Noisy, wet Saturday evening in progress. Over on the pi, I am attempting to combine enough code, and using 92 offsets, make a brass 8mmx1.0 bolt for the cathead with a single file, and 3 tool changes. So I have noted the default net settings in the config I started out

[Emc-users] Present state of Tormach PathPilot relative to LinuxCNC

2017-07-22 Thread Greg Bentzinger via Emc-users
I am assuming that we are not too far from the release of v2.8. That said, my question is, has Tormach been updating PathPilot as LinuxCNC has moved forward or is it still a heavily patched and modified v2.6.x? Or maybe I should be asking: Is there a relatively simple way to run a PathPilot

The problem with the Pi3 is that people are trying to simultaneously run both a real time controller process and a graphic desktop system.Either of these might work but not both at once. The Pi3 really is best when run "headless" with no monitor/keyboard/mouse plugged in. Real time processes
