My bdi test machine has "emc-modules-2.6.12.6-magma+bdi.102" and apt-get doesn't report any newer version is available. But that package doesn't have a "quickstep.o".
2.6.12.6-magma+bdi.102 is an old, outdated build. Please upgrade to 2.6.12.6-rtai or 2.6.16-rtai.
So my first question is this: Which emc-modules do I have to install to have quickstep available?
I tried to answer this question for myself by using apt-file, but I got an error when running "apt-file update":
$ apt-file search quickstep emc: usr/local/emc/quickstep.ini emc-modules-2.6.12.6-rtai: lib/modules/2.6.12.6-rtai/extra/quickstep.ko emc-modules-2.6.16-rtai: lib/modules/2.6.16-rtai/extra/quickstep.ko Either build is suitable as both are generated from the same emc-1.0-40 tarball. As for the "ringing" - Insufficient information supplied. Need PERIOD settings, CPU speed, and chipset. From the sounds of it, I would suspect resonance in the drive & steppers rather than a software problem. An oscilloscope would be about the only way to confirm this. Regards, Paul.
