[Emc-users] Is there a better way - G76 for plain bearing lubricating grooves

2022-03-01 Thread Peter Hodgson
I've offered to make some bronze bearings for a vintage British motorbike club. The bearings have some helical oil grooves on one half of the inner diameter. I thought I could do this with G76 having the pitch twice the length of the bush. G0 X15. Z10. G76 P42.0 Z-25. I0.88 J0.3 K1.0

All of them, from those very cheap keyboards Andy found to the best top-of-the-line Apple glass trackpads, are "plug and play" as long as you use the USB connection. On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 3:14 PM Martin Dobbins wrote: > Hi Andy, > > Are those reasonably easy to setup? > > thanks, > > Martin >

There are options that do not involve replacing a small part. (1) just add an external low side resister (SMT parts are easy to remove) or (2) if the pressure sensor is actually a pressure-sensitive resister, then run it with more than 5 Volts. On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 9:40 AM gene heskett wrote:

It is easy to install 3.7 First use "python3 -m vend " then "source /bin/activate" then install the version of python you like and whatever version of the packages you want. That's it. Now you have a vertical environment. In fact, almost every Python developer does this is it is generally a

Greetings all; Any progress on that? The python is too new. Buster is just fine with its python-3.7, but bullseye has python-3.9.2 and breaks it. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed
