Re: [Emc-users] Info needed.

That isn't at all unheard of in BMW circles, a bit more rare with other bikes, but not necessarily because they aren't capable of it. Here, if you see a bike on the highway in the rain it seems like 95% of the time the guy is on a BMW. What is impressive is that he accomplished those miles in

Greetings; Trying to carve the toolpost support for the little monster, on the little monster. I had it lopsided in the chuck, roughly centered on the QC's bolt hole. But that meant the chuck jaws were turned around and I couldn't get to the bottom 9/16 of an inch because of flying jaws . I

[Emc-users] Zeroing work coord via tool touch-off

Manual toolchanging here. I have a wireless tool setter already wired in, and an XHC-HB04 wireless pendant. I'd like to press the "Probe-Z" button and have it zero the work coords on the touch. But, just to complicate things, I'd really like to have this deadman, so you must hold down the

Re: [Emc-users] Can't figure out homing on gantry

OK, well the gantry man page says: "All controlled joints track the commanded position (with a per-joint offset) unless in the process of homing. Homing is when the commanded position is moving towards the homing switches (as determined by the sign of search-vel) and the joint home switches

Re: [Emc-users] Can't figure out homing on gantry

What's that mean? Does it just drive both in tandem until both switches are TRUE, then call it homed? That wouldn't work, I need independent homing for sure. Not sure what the Probotix code is saying but I'll try it out later: # join the home switch signals so that both switches have to be

I floundered around with other components while trying to set this up, and was told "WTH are you doing just use 'gantry'". So I went with gantry component, and it's worked ok. But if I need something else, I'm open to it. I have the RT version of LinuxCNC. Will that update with this JA stuff

[Emc-users] G38.2 probing in machine coord system?

I'm trying the G38.2 z-probe in an ngc call. I keep getting an error "Probe move on line 6 would exceed joint 2's negative limit". Problem seems to be that G38.2 uses the current coord system. I've got the Z-home working now, and machine coords knows the furthest it can go, whereas the
