Considering a Full Rewire on a Working Schaublin 125 CNC

Slower than I would like to. The workshop is really uncomfortably cold right now. But the control panel is almost done, and the “packaging,” or what goes where, is almost done as well. I will make a few photos when I am in the shop the next time and post here again.

Hi,
so in the last weeks it is really hard to convince myself to even go to the shop — “badly isolated to small of a heater,” you know how it is. Anyway, I still have a bit of an update.

I worked mainly on the control cabinet and its mounting. In the attachments you can see the box made from laser-cut and pre-bent steel plate, and the arm to mount the cabinet.
I decided to take it in the front of the machine. I reused the foot of the holder that mounted the original one in the back. Because the cabinet now is in the way of the tailstock, it had to be articulated twice. Simple rotation would not have worked.
It’s not quite together yet, but you may still see how it is supposed to go together.
It will be some weeks until I will be able to paint it (again, it is too cold).

I think that’s it for now.

Good weather for welding Nice progress.

Not on this side of the world where the the temp is hitting 40 deg c and beyond! We holidayed in Canada over Xmas so went from -20c to plus 40c which took a week to get back accustomed to!

At no time did it hit -20°C here, at -10°C it was plenty cold enough for me. It has gotten warmer the last days. The next update on the machine will be very soon (at least I hope).

Hi, I have a bit of a problem getting my initial LinuxCNC config up and running. I’m using a 7i92T (flashed with 7i92t_7i85x2d.bin) connected to a 7i85 and multiple Smart Serial cards (one 7i83, two 7i84, and one 7i73).
I tried getting it configured with PnCconf, aided by this post concerning unlisted Mesa boards:
forum.linuxcnc.org/39-pncconf/52554-disc...ted-mesa-fpga#299687

This mostly worked as expected, but I have two problems. One is that only two of the four encoder interfaces of the 7i85 are shown (this would be okay for now), and I cannot choose the 7i83, which means I am unable to have any PWM channels.
This means I cannot configure the X and Z axes, and because of that I cannot finish the configuration.

I am definitely doing something wrong. If anyone knows what that is, I would be extremely happy if someone could tell me where I am going wrong.

I also attached some pictures of what I am seeing right now.
