Re: [Emc-users] stepgen & pwmgen fixes

Sebastian, Can you check to see that the pwmgen.enable is working properly. I was running samples all day (which looked great, btw, after resolving a very odd problem) so I did not have a chance to do much testing. I am now dropping the enable when the shutter closes, however the pwmgen.value is s

Re: [Emc-users] EMC: AC Drives recommendation

The fest machine retained the original servo motors but swapped out the amps to Servo Dynamics 1525BR's. As far as AC drives I have no experience but you might take a look at those from Servo Dynamics. HTH Dave On Sep 23, 2008, at 1:40 PM, Ted Hyde wrote: > Does anyone know if the CNC-fest

[Emc-users] EMC: AC Drives recommendation

Does anyone know if the CNC-fest Mazak retained its original servo drives, or if they were swapped out, and more importantly, with what? I have a Mitsu laser I'm working on with 3 AC (3phase, encoder w resolver combo)servos, but due to its age, I won't be retaining the servo drives themselves. I'd

Re: [Emc-users] Back on Ubuntu 8.04 + EMC2 Problems

I ran a dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy, and it was pretty ok.. It finished updating without problems, but I had to run the install script for hardy to get emc2 installed again (it was removed during the update, because external repositories don't get updated automatically). I ended up with the

[Emc-users] Stop and Go

To All, I built a Mill CNC with the 30m (X) x 6m (Y) x 4m (Z). The CNC was using a controller for 3 axis and it were working fine. My decision to change for LinuxCNC is in order to use 2 new axis that the older controller did not support. Server motor is connected thru 2 *MOTENC-Lite*

Those are 2 separate issues. The issue with installing hardy - running the emc2 script - then getting the latest hardy updates. This re-arranges the kernels so the real time is not default. The warning on the wiki comes from using the upgrade button on the update manager. (upgrading from dap

Hi I am interesting in EMC2 and EDM – electro discharge application. I want to use it for burning/removing broking taps from holes. I know it been done already. Is any documentation or paper about controlling EMC2 with EDM process? I think it can be useful machine for many mfg co. Thanks Aram --

Re: [Emc-users] rtapi and NML

emc2 uses nml to communicate between milltask and the user interface programs such as axis, tkemc, and halui. nml is based on buffers with layout set at compile time, and on local systems I believe that these are actually implemented through a shared memory method. However, there is also a network

Please tell me the different between rtapi and NML. As my opinion, rtapi make a realtime environment for EMC in linux system. But there is a urtapi in EMC2, I want to know where the urtapi applied and what it supports. if the way that rtapi operates is send and receive message from realtime compone
