The userland component halui is rebuilt from src/emc/usr_intf/halui.cc every time LinuxCNC is rebuilt from sources. Maybe it hasn't been edited recently because it hasn't needed any modification. This source file and the associated man page state in similar ways that halui exports various UI related hal pins and communicates with EMC through NML messages. To quote the man page, halui.mdi-command-XX bit in halui looks for ini variables named [HALUI]MDI_COMMAND, and exports a pin for each command it finds. When the pin is driven TRUE, halui runs the specified MDI command. XX is a two digit number starting at 00. If no [HALUI]MDI_COMMAND variables are set in the ini file, no halui.mdi-command-XX pins will be exported by halui. The docs section on INI Configuration say the same thing about [HALUI] in considerably less detail. What bewilders me is how a camview-emc stanza fits into [HALUI]. Is that described somewhere?

If you already are in need for a program to help you to fix a program, then why not fix the language in the first place?

I am not forcing anybody to change their habbits or preferences, only hoping to. I am trying to provide an alternative. Explaining why I want to provide an alternative seems a reasonable thing to do. Guys: I don't understand this obsession with line (aka block or sequence) numbers in G-Code, e.g., instances of the N word. They are optional and exist for the benefit of the programmer / operator, not the interpreter. Use your favorite search engine to find examples of utilities which can add, remove, or renumber line numbers in G-Code programs. (Sorry, many are not free, but that's the way life is. Write your own if you feel the need. It's an easy exercise.) Note that O words are the proverbial horse of another color. Bertho, there is no need to dwell on the archaic syntax of G-Code. G-Code was invented long ago and will continue to live on given the installed base of machinery, design/control software, trained operators, and G-Code programs stored away for future use. Sure it's a conservative industry, but the emergence of CAD/CAM software means most professionals no longer generate G-Code by hand anyway. There is no need to dwell on the justification for providing an alternative, either. As my grandmother was fond of saying, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Let's get on with finishing the pudding and let the CNC world decide if it likes the taste. If it does, then gcmc will be its own justification.

I quite like my ASUS AT5NM10-I board (Intel D510) and my older Intel D945GCLF2 board (Atom 330). Is the supply of these or similar out-of-production boards completely exhausted in Germany? I don't have one but there are several entries in that table reporting good numbers for the Gigabyte E350N board (AMD E350D/A45). Both newegg.com and tigerdirect.com show this board in stock. Perhaps it's available in Germany too? I measured lousy numbers on the seemingly equivalent Biostar A68I-E350 Deluxe so pay attention to board maker as well as CPU model. One needn't fixate on the Atom CPU. In previous discussions of a similar nature it has been argued that there are non-Atom CPUs and separate motherboards, some of them small form-factor, available at very competitive prices.

I have managed over the years to help a friend who lives in penury on the left coast get Linux + wireless working on several cast-off laptops he and his significant other have received. For some of them he picked up el cheapo USB-wireless adapters at Fry's. In any case, if the adapter does work as-is I've usually been able to get it working with the aid of the material on wireless.kernel.org. He prefers Linux Mint to Ubuntu so I'm only guessing his earlier system was based on 10.04. In some cases, the labor is significant, but I was always able to tell him enough by email to get him going. Generally speaking, the newer the kernel and its modules, the more likely everything just works. Yet another reason to abandon 10.04, even if one doesn't care Ubuntu no longer supports it.

I seem to remember getting disappointing results on this or a very similar sounding Dell model (it wasn't mine so I can't check now). I don't see it listed in the table on the Wiki, though. That could mean my memory is faulty or it could mean I didn't think the results interesting enough for such an old system to bother to report. For your sake I hope it's the former.

Re: [Emc-users] emulation software

WINE has worked welll for most of my applications but now I've started using Rhinocad which won't run on WINE. From what I can tell Virtualbox and VMware are the most popular choices but I'd like to hear other peoples experience before I dive in. Greg: Neither VirtualBox nor VMware emulates Windows. Rather, they create a environment in which Windows can run as if it were installed to bare metal (which means you still need to have a copy of Windows to install). Having said that, I've used both. I ultimately settled on VB out of laziness more than anything and haven't kept up with VMware in recent years. VB has performed satisfactorily for me with one caveat. The graphics driver it presents to applications is never as good as native drivers*. Whether that matters in your application is something you have to decide for yourself. Don't be discouraged by what you read on the Internet. The widespread display of certitude based on ignorance is breathtaking. It costs nothing but some space on your hard drive and a little of your time to install VB. Give it a try. I use it all the time because it makes management of multiple, differently flavored hosts dead easy. Good luck.

It is also direct voltage output, which might be more convenient. A bit higher priced for the kit over here If I make my own boards it would be cheaper How do I calibrate it I don't wish to sound flippant but how about applying Ohm's law? I know it seems like a chicken and egg problem to get a known source and a known load but the Internet is your friend. In my case, I think creating a suitable, stable resistance would be reasonably straight forward. The difficult bit for me would be finding a DC supply capable of sustaining 100A but I assume you must have one or you wouldn't be looking for a way to measure 100A. Keep in mind the Hall-effect sensor is current sensitive. 1V is as good as 36V for exciting your test harness with a concomitant reduction in power consumption.
