Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Anyone?

Thanks, but you could at least mention wether some has posted any metrics. If you were so kind to roughly estimate where those post might be, I would be even more appreciative.
I have searched though the threads and couldn't find anything.
If you think this is not a relevant topic to discuss it, please let me know and I will create a new one.

​​​​​​Any sitrep? Where you able to get your encoder board up and running? 

 
Hi,
I am currently doing a project with EC500_v5 using remora firmware. I have flashed the controller board with the remora firmware and have done all the necessary steps mentioned in the remora documentation. When I faced certain problems, I had refered this forum and I could solve those issues on my way, Now I am able to open the LinuxCNC, but I am not able to come out of the e-stop. I am adding all the steps that I had done till now. I would like to get some help from this community for solving this problem.These are the steps that I had followed. I would like to know whether I have done anything wrong in this. I am new to LinuxCNC and trying to learn more about it. So sorry if I ask silly questions.image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png
 

1. Flashed EC500_V5 with Remora Firmware
   1. File downloaded from the Github link ( github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-cpp/tree/main/Firmware )
   2. Latest version of firmware was installed: remora-rt1052-3.1.2.bin
2. Raspberry Pi LinuxCNC image downloaded from the link provided in Remora Documentation ( github.com/Expatria-Technologies/remora-flexi-hal/releases ) and installed to RPI4 Model B
3. Connected RPI4 with EC500_V5 (RT1052 Chip) by Ethernet cable
4. Copy files to upload the configuration file to the LinuxCNC
   1. Downloaded the files from Github ( github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c.../remora-rt1052-basic )
   2. Copy the folder remora-rt1052-basic to the folder LinuxCNC > Configs
   3. Copy the folder components to the folder LinuxCNC
5. Installing the Remora Components
   1. sudo halcompile –install remora-eth-3.0.c
      1. Result: Success
6. Ethernet Setup
   1. Open DHCP configuration in terminal
      1. sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
   2. Navigate the file to the section ” Example static IP configuration ” , uncomment this section (by removing the #), modify it as follows, then save and exit nano (ctrl X, then Y then enter)
      1. interface eth0
         static ip_address=10.10.10.11/24
   3. Reboot you Raspberry Pi
   4. Verified that the ip address of the RPI4 has changed to 10.10.10.11/24 from the network settings window
      Terminal Emulator Command: hostname -I
      Result:
      10.10.10.11 192.168.40.209 2401:4900:4bbf:1813:83b0:6004:289d:6227
7. Upload the configuration file to the LinuxCNC
   1. Upload the configuration file – python3 upload_config.py ec500-rt1052.txt
      1. Result:
         Traceback (most recent call last):
         File “upload_config.py”, Line &, in <module>
         import tftpy
         ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tftpy’
   2. Tried to install tftpy using the command
      pip install tftpy
      It showed that tftpy-0.8.2 got installed successfully
   3. Upload the configuration file – python3 upload_config.py ec500-rt1052.txt
      1. Result:
         Traceback (most recent call last):
         File “upload_config.py”, Line &, in <module>
         import tftpy
         ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tftpy’
   4. Installed : pip install selenium
   5. Upload the configuration file – python3 upload_config.py ec500-rt1052.txt
      1. Result:
         Valid JSON config file, uploading to board
         Config file length (words) = 1716
         Config file length (bytes) = 6862
         Reminder = 2
         Padding added = [0, 0]
         Config file length with padding (bytes) = 6864
         CRC-32 = 0x580751a8
         (Furthermore sentences were there: Attached with this message)
8. Reboot the Controller Board and RPI4
9. Open LinuxCNC: Application > CNC > LinuxCNC
10. Open the configuration: My Configuration > remora-ec500 basic > remora-ec500-rt1052
    1. Error:
       Debug file information:

Note: Using POSIX realtime
remora-nv: dlopen: /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/remora-nv.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./remora-nvem.hal:9: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app remora-nv
./remora-nvem.hal:9: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready
./remora-nvem.hal:9: insmod for remora-nv failed, returned -1

1. 1. Downloaded the file from github.com/scottalford75/Remora-NVEM/tre...Components/Remora-nv
      and copied the file Remora-nv to LinuxCNC > Components
      Installed the file using the code:
      sudo halcompile –install remora.c
   2. Rebooted RPI4 and tried opening LinuxCNC
   3. Error: nvmpg file is missing
   4. Copied nvmpg.c file to LinuxCNC > Components
      Installed it using the command:
      sudo halcompile –install nvmpg.c
      Installed successfully
   5. LinuxCNC Axis GUI opened
2. Rebooted RPI4 and EC500
3. Check out of E-Stop - Failed

I had tried reflashing EC500 but no change. 
Hope to get a help on this.
