using HAL to correct axis errors

I like your true diy

I think "true diy" might be a euphemism for "doesn't work all that well".

But its fun to think about and tinker.
Have fun!

thanks andy. guess that could have saved me a bit of work. oh well -- it wasn't hard, and i enjoyed it. and what's most important....

MY MILL CAN CUT RIGHT ANGLES!!!

there. just had to say that.

Nice to read from a happy man!

Hi paul,

Can you explain why you set:
option singleton yes;
If you do this you will get errors from the lines in HAL:
addf nonsquare-table.0.cmd servo-thread
addf nonsquare-table.0.fb servo-thread

I have thus comment the line
//option singleton yes;
And LinuxCNC starts without error.

Cheers
Christian

Well, I clearly didn't get errors from that code when I last ran the mill. I had to look up what the "singleton" option does -- it seems appropriate for this module, since you can really only have one of these components per system. But perhaps you're running a newer version of hal, with tighter restrictions on naming.
