Linux Kernel 4.3 Stable Released With Improvements, Install/upgrade in Ubuntu/Linux Mint Or Other Derivatives

Picture

Linus Torvalds announced the stable release of Linux Kernel 4.3, the kernel includes some unique things including 20.6 million lines of code. It’s amazing development. The million lines of code was contributed by several companies including, Red Hat and Intel. Linux Kernel 4.3 has some impressive changes and improvements and to be seen in coming distros releases.

The million of lines of code mostly provide the Linux kernel 4.3 more driver support and support for Intel’s latest 6th Generation Skylake processors. Look at the entire

Move 4 Stepper Motors Synchronously

.

Part of the machine inside FreeCAD

This is the algorithm that plans the trajectory and syncs the movements of the stepper motors, in the new CNC machine that I’m designing (and building!)

The input is an int array { MA, MB, MC, MD } where each int means the number of steps (positive or negative).

The stepper movement logic is stored into a boolean[8] array { SA, DA, SB, DB…. } where SA means step for motor A and DA is the direction bit of the motor A (for a 2 wire stepper driver, like the a4988). This array is erased and re-computed every loop cycle with the next movement, so real motor stepping has to take place inside this loop.

The image below (created with FreeCAD) shows a representation of the algorithm output for a requested movement of ( 5, 15, 25, 40 ) steps. Continue reading Move 4 Stepper Motors Synchronously

How To Use MATE File Manager (Caja)

After PCManFM, we introduce here basic Caja File Manager usage. Caja is a descendant from the old Nautilus from GNOME 2.x era. You will find Caja File Manager in Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint MATE, or any other distribution using MATE as its desktop environment.  It keeps many features from the past, such as emblems and split views. We use Caja 1.8.2 from Ubuntu MATE 14.04 here. We hope this will help new users. Enjoy.
