Bari, I looked at the link that you posted and discovered that they also had this kernel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/log/?h=v4.19-rt so, I will try it. Thanks,

[Emc-users] Something to think about re the hack-a-day tool changer

Greetings all; While adding a couple timedelays and a couple or2's to my hal file, basically to prove that I can pulse the spindle for the nominally 200 msecs used to spin the nut on/off to release the collet and supposedly drop the tool, or just drop it all, I came up against a designed in

[Emc-users] G10L20?

I think you could eliminate the load cell and simply measure motor current. Given that the motor is locked at zero RPM, the torque would be a function of current. Once you calibrate current to torque it will not change. You still need to get this data into a computer but at least you don't

Greetings all; I am still a bit disappointed in how this mister works, taking too much air, and using too much fluid. I have a pressure regulator in front of the electric air valve, but reducing the pressure makes it slobber worse. I just yesterday received a tiny centrifical pump that runs
