Gene

With the help of Peter Wallace I found the info I was needing. I'm putting

Linux and EMC2.

I also found the reason the orginal post never making it a mistake in the

Great news Donnie.  Keep us posted with a blow by blow please because having 
it in the archives will probably help the next installer and this _is_ what 
it is all about.

Thanks & Happy New Year.

Re: Is this list working?

I will say that I've posted messages that never showed up. I've always
just said, "Oh well...", but I thought you guys should know. Also the
time from sending a message to when it shows up on the list can be
anywhere from a few minutes to more than a day.

Thanks,
Matt

Page 80.
Exp.  G44 H3 - offset for Tool 3
than - "where the H number is the desired
index in the tool table.  "
where is that "tool table"?

Re: G43 H1 ??

Aram,
   The 'tool table' is a file in the config directory with the default
name of tool.tbl.
There is a line in the .ini file to tell EMC what the name of the tool
table is. You can name it anything you want.
edit the tool.tbl file and then use the pull down menu to 'load tool table'
your edits with then be usable
G43 and G44 use the same file in opposite directions.

Re: Ethernet, rtai, and rtnet

Gentle persons:

So I've been trying to practice due diligence. The sourceforge mail 
archives have been really flaky for me today and the Gmane archives go 
back only 2 years, so I started by searching my archive of 
emc-users-digest messages that dates from when I subscribed to the 
digest in late 2005 for occurrences of 'rtnet'. I found three clusters 
of messages.

1) Evert Lammerts set off a flurry of messages in Aug 2006 with his 
"rt_task_init" message. As he subsequently explained, "We are trying to 
make a reliable real-time connection between two EMC computers for 
exchange of positional data, which is necessary for the project we're 
working on [at NHL University in the Netherlands]". The exchanges ended 
with Evert's distribution of his code HAL_RTNET.tar.gz on 06 Sep 2006. 
(Of course, I had to coax a very balky sourceforge to disgorge this code 
since the digester scrubbed it as a non-text attachment.)  I won't be 
able to review his code until this weekend. With luck, the code will be 
commented and the comments will be in English, not Dutch. (Hope springs 
eternal...)

2) There was an extended exchange of messages in Oct 2007 beginning with 
Jon Elson's "Starting a new project" in which he said he had been 
looking at the description of rt-ethernet, answered by Stephen Willie 
Padnos observing 'I talked to some folks who had gotten RTNet to work 
for their application (power substation monitoring, I think it was). 
Apparently it wasn't quite right "out of the box", and they had problems 
getting answers from the developer. This was about 18 months ago though, 
so things may have changed since then', and continuing with 
free-wheeling discussion that ultimately involved 11 respondents.
