[Emc-users] How do I see the #numbers

2013-12-30 Thread Marius Liebenberg
I am trying to setup some subroutines to do tool length and touchoff calculations. Where can I see the #parameters while the system is running. I am storing a value in say #1000 and then I want to use it later in another sub. I am not sure if my data is correct as I keep on ending up above the

Hi all! Maybe you remember my question of a few weeks ago about a more flexible way to transform the coordinates in a G-code file: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=528A6D98.7080208%40hb9etc.chforum_name=emc-users My decision was then, to do most of the transforms in

Hi Philipp, a bit of guts first: Configs with a UI which sports preview actually have two interpreters there's one in the milltask process - this is the 'real one' which drives the machine, and which you've been talking to with your sample program then there's a 'preview interpreter' in the UI

in principle those two are unrelated ; of course they should work on the same ngc program. UI's deal with that by telling the preview interpreter to generate preview, and tell milltask to actually execute the program driving the machine. what happened with your program: you talked to

Thanks again for the suggestions. I feel like I am making headway. However, I can't seem to figure out how to set one of the Stepgens to velocity mode since they are all created together via some pru_generic.bin file. Is there a way to pass this argument to this bin file or is there a way to

My step/dir generators are modeled after the hostmot2 components and generally have identical pins, ports, and behavior (at least that was my goal), so you control velocity or position mode with the control-type pin, ie: hal_pru_generic.stepgen.00.control-type See also:
