Heres what it says in the siemens 810 manual the signal is a +-A,+-b,+-indexer, pulse.This is quadrature I believe?But this is 1989  equipment so It may be different than current standards.Correct me if i'm wrong I don't want to go to far down the wrong road.I do intend to close the loop with galil and use the coml for misc. i/o  thanks AL

I think It's solved the galil will take this kind of signal. hopfully it will get back to mach

I had a problem with vista and older parts to.Go to the manufacturers site and get a much newer driver and force it.i've found that they have mostly shrunk their chips and not changed the design.try it even if it says its not supported.It worked for my ati vido card I went up a whole series. goodluck Al

right now it is not upgraded. I picked up a 8080 galil on ebay.currently there are resolvers.I understand that mach does not do resolvers.So I'm considering these resolver converters on the market.The question is is it worth it.this machine has 24x40 travels so linear encoders are not 25 cents each.I would appreciate any input.Currently shopping for the same.The spherical newals are off patent but finding who else makes them is my chore for today. thanks  Al

I m going to speculate and hope it make a bulb light up.Chips post means something.My brain thinks of a linux hybrid crossing paths with a invidia driver .easy to sort out, is invidia involved with these computers ?if not what is the difference between chips computers.If it could be that simple then a rewrite of the linux invidia driver would be a soulution Al  A more defining question is does it stop at the same place on the same part. I am focusing on the com because I know nothing of the software. Other gremlins  does your bios support print screen?and is it getting wierd commands      If it stop in the same place is there some spooler remnent still counting?The no blue screen means its not real deep.Its possible its not being dumped but overwritten by a os hard wired mem address  Ill throw them in the air you guys try to shoot them down  AL

I read this recently,on high end chips there is a problem with the cooler chip heat transfer as things age.I.E.hot spots on the chip If you cant solve it any other way try regreasing your chip/ cooler interface.This would fit the longer program scene. is there a temp change in your shop Al   more I dont know what software you use. If your smarter than me you backed up when you were happy,If not try a restore type operation It could just be a windows fart.

Hi I am not quite green yet on mach.If it were my problem I would first remove or disable anything that might compete for irq hits.E.G. sound lan usb reduce colors/resolution on video.Is it happening when commands get complex Al It may be strange but does your registry still have printer entrys. Ill keep adding as I think of them next I would disable any bios cache

Are the resolver to digital converter boards on the market compatable with mach.Or should I just start shopping for lineir encoders. thanks Al

try deleting the driver for your onboard com port and rebooting.It could be the boot sequence.generlaly you should try to buy a card that has the same chip thats on your motherbard. windows does not like different drivers for the same type of devices
