Not yet. Due to some confusion around here, the results will be announced 12 hours. Seems a whole page of entries were not passed around last nite. Sorry for...
Ok, I can't resist... "The Gecko BrainStem Controller" This kinda indicates that it handles the high speed real time reflex type stuff but it needs something...
Errr, correction. "Brainstem" is already taken by a single board computer/embedded controller type thing. It even has motion control add-on modules......
Mariss I don't care what the naysayers complain about this was great fun and got lots of people interested . I hope you won't hesitate to do something like...
... the sea then you are not in the UK <g> John, stop trying to confuse the Texans will you, they won't understand ... heh, OK, wait I'll explain it to them: ...
Hi guys, I also had a great time at the Galesburg event and enjoyed talking to many of you. I had sent my name suggestions to Mariss directly but it seems a ...

Hi All, [Apologies in advance if this is a re-post, my mail has been somewhat flakey lately...] As it so happens, the G101 firmware is actually "dumb mode"....
... This is what I was trying to explain before, and I apparently didn't do a very good job. EMC will ALWAYS require realtime capability in the PC. It needs ...
Hi, The results are in and tabulated; I hope I haven't messed up. Without further ado: 3rd place: VIPER Message #5999 from "Tim" <luvindaddy@...> 2nd...
Funniest: G-Esus #5894 from "three_bags_full2000" <shoot.the.cat@...> I was wrong to submit that entry. While it was probably harmless in intention, I...

Hi I am doing my control panel and have a question regarding the proper fusing of my Geckos. Here is a quote from the CNCZone. Do these statements apply to the...

All bow before the great G-Rex!! Thank you, Mariss, for the runner(s) up awards! However, I'm pretty sure you didn't post the awards correctly.. Shouldn't that...
... Fair enough. Your goal is to build a machine using whatever control works. My goal is to make EMC a better controller. Your goal can be achieved by using...
Fuses where? If you plan on fusing the power into the Geckos, and you should, then the diode across the fuse to allow back EMF to flow from the driver back...
Hi Steve I was going to fuse the positive DC line that goes to power section on the Geckos. Is this recommended or is this the configuration that would cause...
Barry, You should fuse the positive DC line that goes into the Gecko power section. The diode mentioned should be connected across the fuse so that power...
... Seriously? Or am I reading your cryptic statement wrongly? I know of putting a diode from the fuse to "negative" but I havn't seen a diode connected to the...
Hi John, thanks for the insight into EMC. Now I think I understand the issue. A couple of solutions spring to mind: (1) Remove the Rabbit and use a dedicated...
... Well, actually, EMC can run in "sim" mode, which is entirely NON-realtime, and will run on any standard Linux kernel. But, your feedrates will NOT be...
