Re: Linux EMC success!

Well, now I'm excited! EMC is controlling one of my machines now. I
watched the thread on the Linux EMC setup over the weekend and tonight I
pulled it off too. Thanks guys! Right now, it's hooked up to my little
Sherline CNC that used to run Dancam,Stepster, and Maxnc. All I did
tonight was jog it around a little to verify that it worked.(I programmed
the parallel port connection with the soldering iron) Tomorrow night I
will try to tweak it.
I am running ./run.stepper

Matt, on the Ericsson chip that is obsolete- it's the 3776. Last year I
talked to PIK Power- distributors for Ericsson ICs and they said that it
would be discontinued at the end of 1998. Low demand strikes again. I'm
sure that Dan Mauch has some in stock if you are worried. PIK Power
probably does too. Just don't plan on using it for a long term project or
big production run. Maybe we should take that as a hint that it's time to
get into Jon's servo project!


Thanks again guys!
