Hallo zusammen,

ich habe eine Frage zum Update von LinuxCNC 2.9.1 auf 2.9.2.

Kann ich das Update einfach durchführen, ohne dass meine bisherigen Einstellungen meiner laufenden Maschine verloren gehen?
Die Maschine läuft aktuell mit einer Mesa-Karte, und ich möchte natürlich vermeiden, dass ich danach die Konfiguration komplett neu erstellen muss.



Der Grund für das Update ist folgender:
Mein 750-W-Servomotor mit A6-Treiber über EtherCAT ist angekommen. Ich möchte diesen gerne erst einmal an einer „neuen“ Testmaschine ausprobieren, bevor ich ihn später in meine bestehende Maschine einbaue.

Ich habe dazu diese Anleitung gefunden:
forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-etherc...-how-to-step-by-step

Dort wird darauf hingewiesen, dass man LinuxCNC 2.9.2 verwenden soll. Deshalb würde ich gerne von 2.9.1 auf 2.9.2 aktualisieren.

Meine Fragen wären daher:
> Kann ich das Update von 2.9.1 auf 2.9.2 gefahrlos machen?
> Und wie füre ich so ein Update aus? mit welchen Befehlen im Terminal? 
> Bleiben meine bestehenden Maschinen-Einstellungen und die Mesa-Konfiguration erhalten?
> Sollte ich vorher bestimmte Dateien oder Ordner sichern?
> Oder wäre es besser, für den EtherCAT-Test eine separate Installation bzw. einen separaten Rechner zu verwenden?

Vielen Dank schon einmal.

Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice on configuring a tool changer for a Samurai 120 CNC.The machine is currently running a Raspberry Pi 5 with EtherCAT-based Leadshine EL8 servo drives and motors.
The tool changer will require two additional motors, which I haven’t purchased yet. At the moment I’m considering the StepperOnline EtherCAT servo motors, as they’re significantly cheaper than the Leadshine units.
Has anyone here configured an EtherCAT-based tool changer using two motors, or got any advice on the best way to approach the setup and control side of it?I’m also using the Probe Basic interface, so I’ll probably need some help understanding how to correctly configure everything to work with that as well.Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
 

I've added a few more filter and sort functions



 

I really feel like "Oscar the Grouch" now. I deleted the rant. haha.

I find wire EDM fascinating. However it is complicated. For small square sheet metal parts I suggest a bench vise, hack saw and file.

• fret saw
• jig saw
• scroll saw

No need to build my own waterjet to cut one stone with 2 birds. 

When is disconnects, is the init light illuminated on the 7I76E?

Can you power off the machine and leave only Mesa powered?

I turned everything off except the PC and it no longer disconnects on its own and it doesnt show my mesa connection. But when I turn the mesa board and the machine on it starts disconnecting again every 45 seconds. So now I think you guys have a good point and maybe this could be hardware related.

Not my stuff!
Bumped into this, looks nice and usable

Maybe 5 axis with rtcp. My plan is to make one with 5 axes this year that would work on rpi5 + 7i96s + touch screen...otherwise I won't change it, although I've already forgotten how to insert the procedure exactly (which file where), but it looks perfect. Thank you.

I use the same and it works well.

Here is the list of supported drivers from IgH:  IgH EtherCAT Master: Device Drivers

Any chip which uses drivers on the list is supported.  I226 uses igc driver.

I think I will go ethercat and sell the mesa. 
I completly ignored the fact my vfd works with rs485, thanks for the reminder to check.
Leaves only the decision on drive i/o vs central i/o. I found some deals on the beckhoff parts
ek1100, el1809, el2809 
are those the right ones?
I will be using 8 24v end sensors pnp nc.
Many thanks again. 

I thought it would make sense because the Mesa card was already purchased and paid for. ... it seemed not final what was missing.
Admittedly two network adapters probably complicates things.
When you just want to eat pickles and cake without getting "the look", being half pregnant does the trick.

"Queue is not empty after probing" error message, is the issue I am hunting for, trying to find anyone that can reproduce this, and see if my patch fixes it, I think your problem is something different, and it is correct that the machine stops when the probe is flickering, the "Queue is not empty after probing" is something different that in theory should not happen, trying to find users that get this message.

I don't see anything obvious wrong in the hal/ini files

I would try using and external 5V supply  as a way to debug the issue
but its a pretty mysterious problem.

Done, thank you.
