A little progress.
After installing the transformer, I'm wondering again whether its power rating is sufficient for three 1.5 kW servo motors.
The transformer is rated at 4.7 kVA, 415 V to 220 V, 3-phase.

What do you guys think? Is 4.7 kVA enough for three 1.5 kW servo motors?

 

Why not post the correct links here again? You could also add a bit of information about your Carrot board.

@all: With some projects, people complain when someone builds and sells hardware for them. You don’t need to worry about that here – it’s an open-source project, and I have no financial interest in it; it’s just a hobby. On the contrary, I’m actually really pleased when someone else offers others the chance to get ready-made hardware. I’d be delighted if there were even more of these available – and ideally in a way that means you can order them here in Germany too (AliExpress?!?)

OK, there’s just one thing I do expect: if you end up becoming millionaires because of this, you can treat me to a meal ;P

Hi Aciera, nice to meet you!

My Problem is: My USB-MPG sends weird keys, Alt /M , Alt / - , Alt / % , Alt / # , Alt/= , F10 , F11.
Alt / % sends Alt + Shift + 5 , which makes it "interesting" to grab...
F10 and F11 opens the menu and toggles between fullscreen and windowmode.

So, at first i have to somehow keep these keys from interacting with the UI of Linuxcnc, ONLY interacting with hal_input.
I tried i triednone of these stops interacting with my ui..

What i did so far, i grabbed the USB-name, and vendor and productkey of my USB-Davice.
I wrote a UDEV rule which worked after a bit of confusion.
i loaded the device in the halfile ( of the sim so far ) and i could see most of my keys turn yellow in the halshow.

So my first attempt ( asking the AI, which was not my best option when i think about it now ) was to remap the keys with keyd.
I wrote a default.conf to remap the keys. What happened?
The keys which send F10 and F11 do no longer affect ma ui! No toggling window to fullscreen.
But i struggled at importing the "virtual keyd keyboard" into LinuxCNC.I would like to use " , but these don't work for me, i do not know why ( see above ) 

One of my Problems:
I cannot load the keyboard via "name",does NOT work..works! As far as i know, i should use " whenever i have blanks in a filename / path / device.
I do not really understand why..

Thanks for any help in advance!
Honestly, i tried with AI-support, but this only calmed my mood because our jobs are safe for a looong time, so crappy answers..
Greets, Tom

Do you have the hal_input component working and the pins created?

Maybe show us what you have got and then tell us what is not working. Otherwise we're just guessing.

Hi folks,

i tried remapping the keys on my usb-MPG with keyd, but i struggle importing them into the hal.

Is there a prefered way of remapping keys for linuxcnc and do you have a link to a turorial or a manual?

Thanks in advance,

Greets Tom

Hallo,
noch eine Frage zur Sicherheit. An der 7I96 habe ich 5V , Dir0+ , Dir0- ., Step0+ , Step0- , Gnd.
Am Stepperdriver habe ich Ena- , CW- , Clk- , 5V . Ena würde ich nicht beschalten, braucht man nicht unbedingt.
Ich würde jetzt 5V mit 5V , Dir0- mit CW- und Step0- mit Clk- verbinden. 
Haltet ihr das für richtig?
MfG
Hans

Dear meister:

I’d like to correct some information. While browsing through the old posts, I noticed that on page 100 you shared a product link. However, that is actually not my product link, I only sell my products on Taobao. Based on today’s exchange rate, the price is approximately USD 29.61.I only had a small batch made by JLC for my own DIY projects, so there’s no real cost advantage.

I did a few more tests, and with a short Gcode file of ~1500 lines, it works fine, disabling the spindle on the first try. If the file is already ~2000 lines long, there's a problem. This value may vary on different machines, but you can try shortening or extending the number of lines. The beginning and end of the file remain the same. Try test.ngc.
 

Does anyone know a full list of requirements for thc activation so I can check them one by one?

The voice can be helpful with testing HAL stuff. Qtvcp has a test_led component that can speak on hal pin state changes.

Maybe the problem is a race condition that doesn't effect me. I'll get looking.
I wonder if adding a m5 to the abort script would help?

Just did a test on 2.10 sim that was probably compiled a year ago, besides not letting me run any gcode complaining ... ne, SCREAMING at me "abort something or another 3" , but it did turn the spindle on once and did require stop twice to turn off.

P.S.
No idea who thought adding sound/voice to cnc machine controller was smart, although it would be hilarious if it did scream some profanities when making mistakes, but since i always have music playing in the shops (loudly), it might give a heart attack to anyone else in the shop.

If no one else is having this problem, then it's clearly just me. There's no point in pursuing this further.

That's strange, though, because I downloaded the entire program from Git, compiled it, and the same problem persists. Older master builds don't have this problem.
With a freshly compiled program, I open one of the default qtdragon configurations, open some gcode, run it, press stop, and the program stops, but the spindle doesn't turn off. I have to press stop again to turn the spindle off.

After running a few tests, it appears that, in my case, the problem was caused by a missing software package. Installing gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 fixed the issue for me.

It is also worth mentioning that I installed Glade and configured it to use GTK 3.16 and WebKit2GTK 2.28.

For reference, I am running LinuxCNC 2.9.8 RMD on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Hopefully, this helps anyone experiencing a similar issue.

If you use 7i97t_7i74d.bin firmware,  sserial channel 0 is on the 7I97T and
sserial channels 1..7 are on the 7I74.  (Physical channel 0 is skipped on the 7I74)
