Re: [Emc-users] Wheezy for Old PCs?

I can/am. Just exploring "update" possibilities for installed machines running old hardware. I haven't even tried one of the new Wheezy images yet on the old hardware, to even see if it does or doesn't work. Just looking at options for when the day comes that I may need to do something. I

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

But wouldn't that break the ability to home the gantry's sides independently? That's a huge problem. The gantry isn't going to align itself. A relevant point of the context here is this is going into a community shop, with a constant stream of new users with very limited supervision. So

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "branch" mean here? I have LinuxCNC 2.7.4 with Preempt-RT kernel support. Would this mean going with something other than that? That's a nonstarter. Danny Dewey Garrett wrote: > As mentioned, you might want to try the

[Emc-users] Wheezy for Old PCs?

I was rummaging around with synaptic, and noticed that the Linuxcnc Wheezy Repository has a linux-image-3.4-9-rtai-486 kernel and headers. I tried to install it to see how/if it might work. It booted ok but when I tried to run Linuxcnc it said that I must use the 686-pae kernal. The whole point

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

You're describing a VERY weak, overly complicated system. Even small machines get pretty sloppy with that sort of linkage. Cross shafts have a ton of inertia and a lot less torsional stiffness than people think. Belt drives have been pretty springy on even the tiny Shapeoko stuff, and it

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

I'm a bit confused. How do you get branched versions, and which one? When you say "something other than", is this a branch from 2.7.4 PRTK? I can't use a non-PRTK branch here. Danny On 3/31/2016 11:13 AM, dan...@austin.rr.com wrote: > But wouldn't that break the ability to home the gantry's

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

For convenience and especially for operation by students, newbies and the generally clueless, build or modify the gantry so both sides are mechanically linked so it is Not Possible for it to get out of square. If you have a screw running lengthwise on both sides, Put a chain or belt and idler

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

As mentioned, you might want to try the joints_axes12 branch. (See below for example xyzx sim configurations in joints_axes12.) All recent mainline branches (e.g., 2.6.x, 2.7.x, master) support JOG_CONT and JOG_INCR modes as used by 1) the axis gui for keyboard jogging and 2) halui pins with
