Galil / Re: Mach with galil reliability

I haven't been able to look at a log yet, I am still working on homing issues.

With just the line commands sent, it would be pretty rare to have a axis take off due to mach errors then right?

I am definitely not trying to make up for a bad install, just trying to cover all the what ifs.

Which commands does Mach send to the Galil card then? I am a little familiar with the Galil command set, but confused on how Mach controls it now.

Galil / Mach with galil reliability

« on: November 18, 2010, 12:45:25 AM »

I was wondering realistically how reliable Mach with Galil is?

I know that the Galil cards are pretty rock solid in terms of not causing random run away and such, so I would assume that since the plug-in is basically a real-time g code to Galil code converter that it should always be pretty reliable?

I have seen on the forum, people talking of machines with the pport driver having tool take off at random sometimes. And I want to minimize this as much as possible by not using the pport.
Am I assuming right that I pretty much shouldn’t have any position errors of take off’s with the Galil card even if the computer crashes of has hick ups?


Thanks
Dave

Steve, would you be able to look at this again sometime in the near future?

Thanks

Were you able to find out anything else?

I haven't worked on the machine in a few weeks but I think I am going to start up again.


Thanks

The home and lower limit are wired together to use the same switch.
It was build like that so I left it as is.

All the axis's have a jumper wire for the home and lower limit
