Hello,
I am a beginner and still have some problems with the signal linking in the HAL.
As shown above, I have managed to zero the axes using button 10 and the rotary knob for axis selection. How can I now set all axes to 0 after selecting axis C with the rotary knob and pressing button 10?


#### Axes Zero with selected axis and button10 ###
loadrt and2 names=and2_X,and2_Y,and2_Z,and2_C
addf and2_X servo-thread
addf and2_Y servo-thread
addf and2_Z servo-thread
addf and2_C servo-thread

net button10 <= whb.button.macro-10 

#### X-Axis ####
net pdnt.axis.X.select => and2_X.in0
net button10 => and2_X.in1
net x_zero <= halui.mdi-command-21 <= and2_X.out 

#### Y-Axis ####
net pdnt.axis.Y.select => and2_Y.in0
net button10 => and2_Y.in1
net y_zero <= halui.mdi-command-22 <= and2_Y.out

#### Z-Axis ####
net pdnt.axis.Z.select => and2_Z.in0
net button10 => and2_Z.in1
net z_zero <= halui.mdi-command-23 <= and2_Z.out

### Zero all axes if axis C is selected ###
net pdnt.axis.C.select => and2_C.in0
net button10 => and2_C.in1
net zero_all ????

As before, nothing in dmesg.

Not to be obnoxious, but isn't there just a known good PCIe card that I can just buy off Amazon hat just works with LinuxCNC, preferably with support already built into the kernel?

Hi, Im retrofitting a ZX7045. Im trying to get a encoder setup on my spindle.
I used pncconfig to setup the spindle encoder, but when I run the spindle i get no feedback on linuxcnc.
I tried using hal.scope but im seeing no activity. Same goes for hal show.
I have a oscilloscope connected between the encoder A and ground and I can see the signal there.

This is my first advance linuxcnc build, so I'm still figuring out how to edit .HAL and .INI directly.
I suspect my encoder is not configured correctly. I have attached my INI and HAL files.

Can someone see if I did something wrong in my configuration?

Some extra info:
Mesa 7i96 (7i96d_1pwm.bit firmware)
1.5kw spindle on vfd with Pwm to 10V analog converter for speed control.

Encoder : Omron E6B2-CWZ3E-1024
Connection
A => TB2.Pin7
B => TB2.Pin10
Z => TB2.Pin13
GND => TB2.Pin9
5V => TB2.Pin12

Gear ratio between encoder and spindle: 1 turn spindle = 3 turns encoder. (i will fix this in the future to be 1:1)

Goal: tapping cycles and speed/torque control.
Speed/torque control through something like this:
I want linux cnc to run the spindle at 100%pwm first, then check the actual speed. 
If the desired speed achievable with pwm between 70 and 100%. Set pwm to required value.
If not achievable in pwm range, Stop and tell me to shift gear up or down.
Repeat speed set in new gear.

 

I lengthened the servo period and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks for the help!!

@Emma
No spamming, se other post.

I believe you have no problem.

There _is_ a way to test for signals with just one pin
in hal but I have forgotten how this is done...

Twice i searched for typos and missed this... i need thicker glasses, or more sleep

UGH!!!
You are 100% correct. I did not spot that variance (glasses???). OK! I can confirm hal works as expected after the edit. I am now going to go through the other errors I saw initially - I bet they are the same mismatches.
Thanks!

Looks like the error is a signal name mismatch:

pncconf uses net machine-is-on   but the XHC file uses net machine.is-on  

I agree with you - it didn't make sense to me either based on my [admittedly limited] knowledge. I will do some more testing around this and document what I find.

Is it possible to see a log of what hal commands are actually executed in order on start? That might illuminate the issue.

That doesn't make any sense.

 It makes no difference when or from where a net command is
executed as long as the connected pins are present. 
(at least in any version of LinuxCNC I've used)


 

I agree they *should* be identicial... weird thing is it didn't work out that way. It simply refused to work unless I put it all in the latter xhc_whb04b_6.hal file. Could be a version bug, who knows.

having

net machine.is-on halui.machine.is-on
in GantryMill.hal

and

net machine.is-on whb.halui.machine.is-on
in xhc_whb04b_6.hal

would be identical

Hmmm... My ini shows this:

[HAL]
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = GantryMill.hal
HALFILE = custom.hal
HALFILE = toolchanger.hal
HALFILE = xhc_whb04b_6.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = gmoccapy_postgui.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal
SHUTDOWN = shutdown.hal

In the end, because i used pncconf to generate the GantryMill.hal file I put this in my xhc_whb04b_6.hal file:

unlinkp halui.machine.is-on
net machine.is-on whb.halui.machine.is-on halui.machine.is-on

That seems to work. Jog dial works. Need to tweak the button functions, but I'll sort that out. Cheers!
