[Emc-users] This is a test, since my last several posts have been swallowed.

I've tweaked my postfix configuration very slightly, and am hoping that will allow me to post, despite sourceforge's anti-spam upgrade. So in the unlikely event that this get's through: This is a test. Sorry about that. Erik

[Emc-users] Problem on EMC2 starting with rtai_hall.ko

Hello. I build emc2 based on PuppyRus linux. linux was patched by kernel is 2.6.24.7 rtai test was succesfull. Whan i make EMC2 i had problem with ipipe.h file. I had to insert #include linux/percpu.h in ipipe.h file to build EMC2. Now, when I try to start EMC i have problem with rtai_hal.ko

Hi all, Thinking of making a touchprobe, but Im missing the link between the probe itself and EMC controll. Is there a special piece of code that needs to be run to locate a corner (tell EMC to do the moves), or it this already know to EMC.. What about logging a point cloud.. is this

hi Kim i've just done something like that for qualifying my converted mill: http://homepage.bluewin.ch/andyfrommel/6101.html (sorry, it's still in german... but lots of pics) i selected the pin on the parport, where the prober was connected to, as the probe input and used the G38.2 command for

Re: [Emc-users] Arduino with Ubuntu 8.04

The final piece of the jigsaw, in case anyone has similar problems. The Arduino IDE wouldn't talk to the Arduino board because serial.debug_rate in ~/.arduino/preferences.txt was set to 14400, a value not supported by the port (something to do with the ftdi_sio driver?). Setting this value to
