Teaching linuxCNC configurations for 1-2 days?

Hello,


Let me introduce myself. My name is Stephane and I am from Bruges, Belgium.

Let's say I am a very determined "noob". Maybe some of you have already seen my topics posted lately.

I am unbelievably interested in CNC and robotics and I have started 1,5 years ago a small company for CNC work, running on Mach3 for the moment.

I have set my mind on linuxCNC but... I wouldn't mind to get some help, meaning face to face help .

Would someone be interested in giving me a small seminar in the basics and the configuration of hal files . Let's say I will be an excellent and very determined student. But I am starting from scratch.

I am willing to travel anywhere for information and explication.

If you are feeling you want to share your expertise please let me know... I am sure we can find a way that will make both of us happy colleagues.

Thanks in advance,

Stephane

Hi,

Just renewing this post again, to see if I can reach someone interested in this.

Hoping the best.

Welcome to linuxcnc!
In general one gets better response to specific questions.
Maybe you could explain what you are trying to configure.
There are configuration wizards available for basic setups.

Anything sophisticated will require a fair amount of time invested.

Hi,

Well mainly about hal setups and configuration and postgui.

Stephane

Again too vague.
What kind of machine (mill lathe router)?
What kind of drives (analog servo, step and direction drive)?
What kind of interface (parallel port, Mesa card, Pico Card) and what style (ethernet,Pci)
What screen (AXIS, Gmoccapy)?

Hi Chris,

That's exactly the point. All of them. So it doesn't matter which part a person can teach me, I need to know all of it.

Drives : analogue, step/drive and pwm. Leadshine drivers have had my preference till now. So I have several which can be connected both ways.

Interface: I have Mesa cards: 6i25, 7i85s X 2, 7i84, 7i75.

Screenset: undetermined. I would like te be able to easily implement new screenfeatures and pin related actions. I have been experimenting till now with axis.


I have here 3 robots that need retrofitting. One 4 axis mill with 5th extra rotary. One plasma machine I am building... So any teaching is helpfull.

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much for your reply. I don't have any problem to travel to Kosovo. Never been there so that's even better, I get to explore more of this world.

If you would like to give me a crash course , I will be there the day you have time.

Anyway you will get free stay in my hotel in Bruges for anytime you want too.

Please contact me by mail or WhatsApp +32479890496

I tried to mail you but the forum is giving me invalid security code all the time. My mail is stephane.kolijn @ gmail.com

Thanks already.

Regards,

Stephane
