Sound good, Jon. Some other things I've noticed in my (still ongoing) conversion to EMC2. 1 -- The Integrator manual pages have the wrong names for some of the pins. 2 -- It would be nice if the univpwm_io.hal file had the inverted sense for the limit and home switches. As far as I can tell,

[Emc-users] Problem With New Release -- Can't Find LP port

2008-08-20 Thread Kenneth Lerman
I'm finally (after a disk crash) installing emc2 on my system -- a Dell Optiflex GX150. This is the same machine I was running the BDI EMC1 on (except for the change of disk drive). I'm using Jon Elson's UnivPWM boards. Dmesg shows that on boot, the lp driver is loaded, but no device is

Fixed. The problem was that I needed to run pcisetup 378. I don't know what pcisetup does with no argument, but it doesn't generate an error and it doesn't do what I need done. Ken Kenneth Lerman wrote: I'm finally (after a disk crash) installing emc2 on my system -- a Dell Optiflex GX150

[Emc-users] Problem Using Axis

2008-08-20 Thread Kenneth Lerman
I'm trying to use Axis with the latest release and am having a problem. When Axis starts, the screen breaks up. There are dark horizontal lines appearing on the Axis window and across the screen to the right of it. It looks like some sort of video problem. TKemc does not have the same problem.

Re: [Emc-users] Tool Dia Compensation

2008-08-18 Thread Kenneth Lerman
My understanding is that cutter compensation is supposed to automatically generate the same part if the diameter of the tool is changed. So, if I cut one part with a tool with a diameter of .375 and another with a tool with a diameter of .250, the parts should wind up essentially the same.

Regarding power supplies: Computers use regulated power supplies because the electronics require a voltage within a relatively narrow range. You don't need a regulated supply to drive a stepper or servo (although you might for some of the electronics connected to them). For that reason, the
