[Emc-users] Spurious edge on startup

2016-09-05 Thread Danny Miller
I have a HAL which is detecting a false edge when loading LinuxCNC. I have AM882 drives which have an Alarm signal output, and an Enable signal input. Alarm is active-low, Enable is active by default unless LinuxCNC deasserts it, all goes through a 7i92 card. The Alarm signal is tied to its

[Emc-users] Need inserts, 8mm A60, both internal and external threading tools
