Axel,
that sounds a bit like a bug in RTC5 plug-in. Can you please be so kind and send your current configuration? Just save an empty project and send the .beamp-File to openapc@gmail.com
Hereby another question: how are the power (pen) parameters passed on to the laser? In my app, I use a serial port, but in BeamConstruct, I did not found any such configuration panel.
Power can be set (depending on the type of laser) via 8 bit Laser Port, PWM/frequency control or analogue output. Communication with a laser via additional interfaces like serial port is prepared but currently not fully implemented (because this requires separate laser communication plug-ins for every type of laser, their communication protocols are not compatible).
Which laser are you using?
Kind regards
Jim
Best regards,
Axel

Axel,
there are some preconditions required in order to get it working:
- you have to compile and install the kernel-modules (provided by Scanlab)
- you have to copy the libslrtc5.so (provided by Scanlab) to a
lib-directory where it can be accessed by applications (check ldconfig)
- the device needs to be user read- and writeable (which isn't by
default policies)
If all these conditions are met and you still have troubles please let me know, then I'll provide a special debugging version of the RTC5 plug-in to you that will tell us a bit more.
Kind regards
Jim

Hi there,
Having followed the manual and configured the RTC5 card in the Project/Settings, I keep on having a "Can't allocate required resources" error when calling the "Mark" dialog.
I have Fedora 17 and the latest OpenAPC. I gave the correct firmware path (where the .dat resides), and the right correction files and output port, as configured in my other working in-house program.
I saw there is some kind of bug: when I choose the firmware directory graphically, it is not reported in the textfield. I have to write it by hand. Is it possible that something is not take into account there? Is there a way to see the config/project file contents to check that everything is right?
Best regards
