Re: Driver for Servo and I/O board
Art
Hi Henry:
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
Sorry, but it would be just about impossible. The Mach2 driver is extremely tight, Servo-To-Go people took a look at the problem and gave up. The driver and the OCX are just too strict in the way they do things in a buffered environment that it doesn't easily translate to anything like doing a linux driver for it. It could be done, but I doubt you'd want to put in that kind of work for a single board. Have you coded WDM drivers under NT before ?? Art www.artofcnc.ca ----- Original Message -----

Mach2Screen
Daniel Maioli Padua
Hello all,
I made a new screen, starting from scracht, and I think I miss something. I can?t jog the machine using the keyboard. Anyone knows what I miss here? Is it possibile to jog the machine from keyboard if the MDI is in the same layer (not using the MDI, of course) that I want to jog? Any thoughts?? Using Mach2Screen from Mach2 Ver 4.0 Regards, Daniel. |

It should interface between MACH2 and your stock servo amps. Art will have to address any interface questions to MACH2 but my understanding is that the pulsing engine for parallel port output is the core of MACH2 and is the component that allows MACH2 to output up to 45 KHZ signals with Windows; a feat that up until Art started with Master5 was considered impossible. Another driver module or DLL would have to replace the pulsing engine and would require a serious re-write of core code. That's my understanding and may be uncorrect but if so Art will let us know.

Driver for Servo and I/O board
Henry Palonen
Hello,
How could I possibly write drivers for my 3rd-party servo-board ? I have written driver modules for EMC, and I would like to write similar drivers for Mach2. The board is made by Siemens, and it has normal servo-controllers (3x +/- 10V out, 3x enc in, 40+ in/out ports), so it's quite like Servo2Go, but not exactly. It would be nice to have board operating at Mach2 also, since I recently switched from EMC. Does Mach2 support "external" driver-modules or dll's ? Best regards, Henry "Henkka" Palonen, Tampere, Finland PS. I tried to search the archives of this group, but didn't find anything about "3rd party" drivers. |
Rutex Z axis problem--More info
Just to recap the problem I'm having. When ever I make a Z axis
movement it travels farther than it should by about .015". It does it in the Z+ and Z- directions. It's not always .015" sometimes its less. Also it's intermittent. It seems to be good in the morning when I turn it on but over time it starts to happen and when it does it's intermittent. A move as small as .001 will cause it to happen. It's maintaining it's accuracy, .001" gives me .001" of movement on a dial indicator. I can cut for hours and not loose any steps. If I power up the servo amps alone there's no problem but when I turn on the drives the Z creeps down .015" then slowly back up. I don't think it's a tuning problem. I tried switching the drives and it made no difference. I then tried switching the servo amp itself and I still had the problem. I'm wondering if it may be an encoder issue. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Derek |
Re: Homing not working (softlimit problem)
Same problem here.

keygrabber problem with user key 21 and 22 with same code.
Les, i got a strange problem today with keygrabber.
it seems user key 21 and user key 22 have the same code : 232. I don't know yet if my problem come from here because it's very strange. A macro don't work only on 1 screen (it's a button on the P screen). She does work on another test machine on all screens but without keygrabber. Regards, Olivier. |
Re: Combi referencing not working.
I tried the 2 formats without success.
i got another problem today with "reference all axis" actual button. sometimes i have to push the button, the referencing stop after the first referenced axis, then i need to push again the button to get other axis referenced. Was never the case before 4.0 release version. Seem to be related to your modifications too. Olivier. |

kelev,The B and V sounds are frequently inverted for words in both (Dog: kalb), also in Spanish (Arabic influence) like the pronunciation of the word for 20 which can sound like bentae or ventae The amount of general knowledge in this group is amazing... Anyway, I agree, lets try to not offend anyone, religion and politics are NOT safe discussions anywhere, let alone on Email. I will ban the automatic placements of religous dogma though, as I know its really spam pretending to be discourse.... Religion is a sacred topic to be discussed among ones immediate peers, not on the net.... Thanks, Art |

Monte:
If you've gotten the Rtuex program to run, then your fine. If using the motherboard, then you need to jumper the pi9ns for SPI mode of the board, and add a resistor (100 ohms) between two pins to turn on digital communications to the board. But if you can read the PID values from a board, then your fine... Art |

Guys:
The puns are good, but making jokes about any religion runs the risk of offending some members of the group who may be followers. It's best to make the jokes off list if you feel that they are important. As to the derivation of Allah, it's the same root as one of the Hebrew words for God, El Since Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic are all very related languages, many of the words are similar Some idiosyncrasies: The English word Shibboleth (a word used as a password which cannot be pronounced by an ethnic group - letter "L" by Japanese for example) literally means "wheat" in Hebrew. Hebrew includes the "sh" sound, while the Arabic dialect of the area does not, so the Philistines could not pronounce the word. Many words are the same in both languages when this sound is swapped: (ex: Peace: Shalom, Salaam, Five: Khamesh, Khamsah - BTW, the guttural Kh is a shibboleth sound in English) Arabic does not include the P, so the sound is frequently substituted to a B (Panias to Banias) The B and V sounds are frequently inverted for words in both (Dog: kelev, kalb), also in Spanish (Arabic influence) like the pronunciation of the word for 20 which can sound like bentae or ventae Peace Jeff _____ From: stevenson_engineers [mailto:john@...] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 6:37 AM To: mach1mach2cnc@...

Re: Latest KeyGrabber release
<Theoretically it could even be set up to work from
another computer connected on a network...> Yes, i confirm this work in real world. We could control mach2 from a joystick connected on another computer. Could be funny :=) If you think it could help you to test it you can send it. Olivier. |
