I just updated to the stable version of probe basic, installed using the APT stable install and running Linuxcnc 2.9.8.  During testing I have most functions working; however, I get the following error when I click on the "go to home" and the "go to zero" buttons. "Named parameter #<geomery> not defined" The error message is the same for both buttons.  Any suggestions on this error?

A test device would be great. What information do you need to get it to me?

Are you still interested and would you have time to test the sensor?

If so, please contact me, preferably through the Proma-Elektronika contact page.

Did you build ehtercat yourself?
My two cents, don't use the official build, make one yourself with disable EoE disabled, and use good shielded cables.

Hi, Unfortunately, I have no experience with Aerotech.
As I mentioned, the sensor was developed for my own needs, but I would like it to be easy to use also in open-source control systems such as LinuxCNC.
Trying to use it at this stage in closed, good working solutions does not make sense.
I appreciate your willingness to support me, but at this point it is not a good idea.

I get notifications, I do check on them when I am free...

  Hallo guys , at the begining I woud like to thanks for that great forum.I'm trying to connect ethercat device like ORIENTAL MOTOR AZD4A-KED but with no lack.At first i run ethercat on ek1100 and some io -> evrything is working fine ,therefor I know that System is working properly also lan card .Second step connection Oriental drive , but there is no connection , when I type in terminal Ethercat slaves there is nothing.I know that unit is able to work properly because I tested it under Twincat3.Some info about thesystem:drive :    oriental motor azd4a-ked compatibility cia402.system : Linux grzesiekzxr 6.1.0-30-rt-amd64. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone!

Does anyone of you guys have the 257 411 01 EXE Platine? Und does anyone have a exakt Pin connection drawing? I have found some online, but i dont know if i can trust them. 

Finaly every component has arived to bring the Deckel back to life.
I am currently installing linuxcnc and getting to know how to write the hal and ini script.
Has anyone a good hal and ini script to use as a base?

Here is the a picture of my elecrticle cabinete. I am also currently marking every wire i have to connect. 

 

I wont use a vfd because the gears give me a good enought rpm range for now. 

Thanks to all wich have replied

try sudo apt install r8168-dkms which is the driver for your R8111 (requires non-free)

Hi, we're interested in your height sensor and could test it for cutting metal (tool steel) but not familiar yet with LinuxCNC. 

The machine available for use right now uses a 1.5 kW laser, an Aerotech controller, and an optical height sensor, and it could be reconfigured to test your capacitive height sensor. If that is of use to you, please advise.

In any case, we're interested in this height sensor for possible use on upcoming projects, especially since our intention is to move towards LinuxCNC with future laser machines.

Im soooo sorry i did miss to Tell you, yeah the original .ui is already touched a bit. The handler is untouched. Ive got trough a Lot of Tutorials and almost everyone copied the Files into their Main Maschine, it Made sence for me to have them all together in one folder so i got with that, too.

In my opinion it would be the easist way to extend the current handler Data so the Rest could stay Like i already got it

The file opens for me, 0kb seems to be a display error. Here's what's in this file:

<masters>
<master idx="0" appTimePeriod="1000000" refClockSyncCycles="1000">
<!-- Joint 0 -->
<slave idx="1" type="DeASDA" name="x-axis">
<modParam name="opmode" value="CSV"/>
</slave>
</master>
</masters>

We also have a problem with the smart serial ports in this config (via the 7i42ta): if I understand correctly, the 7i42ta pins used for the first sserial instance should be 21 and 22 (IO 45 and 46 in the firmware/readhmid result).

At the moment, whether or not "sserial_port_0=0xxxxxxx" is added to the hm2_eth line, all 7i42TA pins behave as GPIO - they can be set/cleared in halshow.

If the sserial line is added and any of its pins linked to a function, lcnc errors on startup.

DId you modify the qtdragon ui and handler fikes is that why you copied
the original files? I don't think you told me that.
The qtdragon_handler file that I posted creates an addition to the original. But you can't do both, either you copy the whole file and modify them or you set the file to extend the original.

Let me know what you want to do.
