I had, recently, a couple of instances of electronics failing, seemingly,
from cold weather.
1. Netgear GS-108 8 port gigabit switch failed when I left on vacation and
let the house cool to 52 degrees F.
2. Saitek USB joystick on my CNC mill failed when the garage cooled to,
perhaps, 40 degrees

I have an atom based fanless server at home, that hosts a bind9 nameserver
and my personal CVS.
It is awesome and consumes only 14 watts of power. It is the size of a
typical hardcover book.
I think that market for those kinds of servers will always exist.

I have a program that makes a special toothed adaptor.
To do so, based on yesterday's suggestion, I change a coordinate system
changes to G54 with G10 L2 P1. (move and rotation).
It even sort of worked the first time (cutting in the air). and works great
in simulation mill_sim.
However, after I
Jon, thanks. I will try to digest what you said. I am away from my mill
(trying to help my friend with a Hurco mill).
Let me just pose a simple question.
Let's say that I inserted a part in the mill and placed the endmill exactly
at the position that I want to be (0,0,0) in G54.
How can I tell
it. Even on restarts of emc. (as I understand it 'touch
off' works the same way - just in the background it is setting the same
way as g10.
could it be you are not homing to a known location?

I set AXES=5. Should I say 9? I only have 5 axes.

look at your .ini file
in the TRAJ section does the AXES = 5 or AXES = 9?
the W axis is the ninth axis

Chris, and Stuart, it was EXACTLY as you said!
Thanks!

I have the W axis working.

When commanded, the W axis moves up and down, roughly as instructed,
according to my G0 W... commands.
It is not super precise or well tuned, yet, but really not

when not really moving it?
I can think of two ways, either of which might work.

How can I make EMC do the same, just let go after it gets to the right

You could do it explicitly in the G-code. (via a digital output),
though that seems
