Greets everybody; I had gone back to an older $config because it had all the A axis stuff it it, and of course had to do a bit of fine tuning in the .ini file. But when I fired off a proggy that used the M3-4-5 spindle controls, I wrecked the first piece of pcb material I put in the jig. Very

Jon, I'm using 2.5 for my CHNC and my turret gets stuck from time to time... usually the first time you use it. My ladder recovers from that but needs 2.5 for one of the pins iirc. If he has any interest my configs are on my web site. John On 1/1/2012 1:04 PM, Jon Elson wrote: > Kirk, > > Hey

Kirk, Hey, happy new year! I have a customer who has converted a Hardinge HNC adapting most of your configuration, especially the turret. He just upgraded to EMC2.4.7 and I helped him through the various problems he ran into. He now even has CSS working. He is having some problems where the t

This is old hat for many here, but in case it might be handy for the less familiar with Linux -- my Internet provider charges by the megabyte, but reduces the cost by 60% after 23:00. I'm usually not awake at that time, so I looked into automating my updates and downloading large files at 01:00.

mmm the object is not so clear, but my first question of 2012 is: Using gladevcp I want to write a value on a hal_spinbutton, and assign to an hal pin (in my case a value for my kins) only when i push a button. As there isn't an if statement as an hal rt component, how can i write this logic? I rea
