Re: [Emc-users] Changing From Mach3 to LinuxCNC questions

The machine had an OEM license that is not transferable to the new owner. The OEM is no longer in business so to get updates etc it takes a new individual license. If the computer or disk drive die you may have no backup. Probably I could use it for some time and wait to purchase the

Re: [Emc-users] Micro controller, step generator

Usefulness? Maybe not with a machine tool because I can buy a TB6600 based controller on eBay for $10 shipped. But for my robot motors I care a LOT about weight, power and volume. Typically one 16-bit uP on a 1.25" x .75" PCB can read two encoders, control two motors with PID algorithm and

Re: [Emc-users] Keep getting Following Error in World Mode

I can say that under Mach3 with the XHC handwheel, I noticed that if the machine was set with high accelerations for 3D carving, it vibrated a lot with the handwheel at low step distances. It aggressively accelerated through a step and came to an equally aggressive stop for a very small move.

[Emc-users] Micro controller, step generator

I could confirm micro controller PWM units are by no surprise good stepper generators. Toggle times may be transferred by DMA which reduce CPU load at the same time as flanks are placed by the accuracy of the oscillator frequency. I can't imagine there is any point to do better and even this is

Re: [Emc-users] XHC-HB04 on LinuxCNC

Huh... XHC jogging doesn't work for the unlinked Y or Z axes though. Yes I do have independent homing switches to avoid the "racking" problem. The gantry moves just find with G-codes and keyboard jog and +/- in World Mode. I'm confused how XHC could be any different. Danny On 3/29/2016 4:49

Re: [Emc-users] Keep getting Following Error in World Mode

OK it's definitely from moving joint 0 or 3 while in Joint mode. Then I'll get Following Error as soon as I go to World Mode. No problems from moving joint 1(y) or joint 2(z). So it's surely a problem with the 0/3 being linked under gantrykins. I'm enclosing the .hal/.ini, if that'll go
