[Emc-users] User Report: Rockhopper output to 11x17 paper

2016-07-08 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings; I think there might be a config error in my G0704's .hal file, and I can't see the miss-que with a text editor, so I grabbed a snapshot of it with rockhopper, after going and getting the latest rockhopper. Thats an svg file format, but it needs converted to something a printer

Re: [Emc-users] Using 7i76 I/O as serial Rx/Tx?

On my X200 VFD I ran into problems with common-mode noise. RS485's differential mode is highly effective at rejecting differential noise UNLESS you exceed the differential range of either transceiver's RX side, then it stops working, and there was a lot. So I got an optoisolating RS232-RS485

I don't think you could easily (if at all) use their signal generator box, but you probably could bypass it and go directly to their motor control box. Might need a breakout board or two because of their funky DB25 pin-out. - Original Message - From: "Gregg Eshelman"

I'd asked them about using a 7i92 to drive an RS485 transceiver, which would require 4 signals. They said the functionality was planned but no specific date. I asked if it would just appear as a Com port, he said no it'd be a specific LinuxCNC driver. There's a "UART" listed on the 7i92's
