Here is the latest on by Shizuoka mill problem. I haven't spent a lot of
time on this, but I did replace the hard drive with a new install of
EMC2 2.3.1 and Ubuntu 8.04.
At the beginning of the mill conversion when I installed the VFD, I had
a problem with noise on the analog input, which I made
The switch is done. There's still wiki and other documentation to clean
up to refer to the new git system. Join us on freenode.net #emc-devel

able to move the work and adjust the zero of the Z-axis during a tool
change. Right now I do this by turning off the drivers and manually

Run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch in a terminal
and run the resulting Calibrate Touchscreen

I don't think it needs to, it will either do the next G0 (which is no
problem at all) or do a G1 which might get a bit boring. (and will
start from the wrong place). I think that if you

It's a major drawback that one. Other controllers I'm aware of allow it.
I have had this ability on machines and only used it once or twice
I wouldnt call that a major drawback.
Well thought out programs shouldnt need to be stopped.
