3 March 2010, 13:15 UTCRELEASED: emc 2.3.5
I'm pleased to announce the next bugfix release in the emc 2.3 series, emc 2.3.5. A number of problems in earlier releases have been fixed.

The new packages are now available for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" in the package repositories. Packages for Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" should follow within the next few days. If you have already installed an earlier 2.3.x version of emc, this will be offered as an update.

If you still have 2.2.8 or earlier installed, 2.3.5 will not be available as an automatic upgrade. For more information and installation/upgrade instructions, please see the wiki

git users can get this release by checking out the v2.3.5 tag (or follow bugfixes on v2_3_branch). Source tarballs are available from the package repository: http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.3/source

Many thanks to the people who have contributed bugfixes for this release.

Change since 2.3.5:

fix jog increments for mini
interpreter: detect gouging in last corner before turning off cutter comp
interpreter: fix another case of a skipped full-circle arc
task: fix toolchange at quill-up and g30 positions (SF#2941688)
stepconf: fix direction of 2nd and 3rd parports
configs: add smithy 516 sample configuration
image2gcode: respect current TLO and fixture settings
image2gcode: "extend image" crash on non-square image (SF#2947390)
documentation improvements
hostmot2: Accept "idrom v3" firmwares. these are the firmwares that will be released with emc 2.4.x.
axis: mitigate a memory leak each time a program is loaded or reloaded

Two-part clamp grips circuit board	(M) (L)

I ran across "Third Hand" and decided to make my own. The main feature of my version is the two-part circuit board clamp. The clamps were manufactured with Chris's help on Jr, his new cnc milling machine.

The files on this page are experimental hostmot2 firmwares for the development version of emc2. For more information, see my post and followup. Update, 20100123: New 0.3 version works on 3x20, has debian packages.

31 December 2009, 15:23 UTCInstalling Ubuntu 9.10 on TA790GX XE + AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor
Ingrid's organization got a grant to pay for all-new desktop PCs. The systems aren't particularly cutting-edge, so I didn't anticipate problems installing the systems. To my horror, 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 consistently blackscreened when trying to boot the live CD. Booting without 'splash quiet', the last message was the unhelpful "Disabling lockdep due to kernel taint". Short answer: boot Linux with 'nomce' and/or install a BIOS update. Read on for more details.

img_7289	(M) (L)

I bought a white LED ring to try out this macro ring light idea. Then I got distracted by the pretty images I could capture shining the light at a blank CD-R. In some shots a glass jar was also involved.

Random Number Generator Schematic

Inspired by other designs I've seen online, most directly Rob Seward's design, I decided to build my own random number generator based Will Ware's "avalanche noise in a reverse-biased PN junction" (try this mirror of Will Ware's page)

Swiss chard	(M) (L)

Except for the first picture, the first batch are from our late August trip up to the Twin Cities. We enjoyed visiting cousins and exploring some of the sites. Most of the photos are from the beautiful Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

The second batch, beginning with the rocks, are from a trip over Labor Day weekend to Omaha's Lauritzen Gardens--lots of fun flowers, and even some veggies.

Moth on flower	(M) (L)

We took a trip to the Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha today. Here are a few of my photos. Apparently I've done about 6600 shutter releases on the camera I bought this spring--wow!
