Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

yes, i am using the NVEM-basic-configuration from youre github. As you mentioned, my plan was to take this as an example for further adjustments.

That error occures every time the software tryes to move the Motors (not only while jogging). After that error i have to reinitiate the machine.

By turning down the feedspeed to ~0.9mm/min, i could observe that the pos_cmd seems to count up until it reaches the FERROR-value from the config.

My setup constist out of the NVEM with one Stepperdriver (DM422 without feedback) attached to the x-axis. Endstops and other stuff are detached.
Instead of an raspberry i am running an Desktop-PC with the Linuxcnc-Debian10 (Buster) version you can find here in the forum.

could it be possible, that the communication between NVEM and linuxcnc has any problems? I had to set the static IP via "/etc/network/interfaces" instead of the "etc/dhcpcd.conf", like you've done in the video.

if there are any logs needed, just let me know.

Edit:
 

This board is about 4 Years old btw. There are clearly differences in the layout between yours and mine.

Don't think this really matters but who knows.

Also, i have to withdraw my statement, where I've said the inputs can be observed. Checked it and it's not the case.

So, after uploading the Basic-configuration.txt (successfully), with x,y,z Motors and  and several Inputpins (Input 3 & 4)
i am not able to get any feedback at all.

Hmm, if you have Ethernet comms then it has to come down to the config not being loaded on the board. The only way to see what is going on is to connect the serial output. If you've got an RS232 to USB adaptor connect TX-RX RX-TX at 8N1 115200 baud.

I have the same board with the same setup as you described and it works ok.

Make sure that your PC is directly connected to the board.
Try to ping your board. For me the avg ping time is ~0.210ms.
If your ping time is more, there is an issue with the connection. Otherwise I'd look at the configuration.

For me, this error occurred when the axis scale was set too high. Try to reduce a little bit.

Did you try to repower the device after uploading a configuration?

I am using Remora for a bench prototype with the NVEM v2 board with 6 axis and 3 motors. I am using the 1.0.0 release.

I discovered the following strange behavior of the driver card:
0. Start LinuxCNC
1. Enable drivers
2. Jog a little bit
3. Power off card (disconnect 24V)
4. Power on card
5. Unset EStop
Now the commanded position and the position feedback from Remora differs (about 0.1 - 0.05mm).
This is not corrected, because the EStop is active.

Now, if I enable the drivers, the motor moves a little bit. LinuxCNC corrects the position error.

What could be the reasons for this? Why does the position feedback change after power on of the card?
Are maybe the PID values wrong?

I hope I described the problem to be understandable (image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png
 

Thank you for the clarification. It would be great if this would not happen.
Could it be a solution to set the accumulator after connecting in the LinuxCNC component (without firmware update)?

New NVEM v2.1 (imxrt1052) is arrived to me. My stlink clone was successfully converted to the DAPLink and works well with all of my STMs. But I can't read/write anything to the RT1052 (using MCUExpressoIDE, Platformio (vscode), mfgtools). Need help of a professionals  

Just tried to convert ST-Link v2 clone to J-Link (using unofficial methods). No luck. Will try a Black Magic Probe firmware.

Of course, we can use a 50 (and more) bucks official debugger/flash tool to upload the firmware, but it's not reasonable for general user. Controller cost is about 100 bucks.
