No. I didn’t. 

And here is a diff, what could be modified from left to right
 

I connected two TMC5160 drivers and a NEMA17 motor (from another driver) to the 24V power supply. The video shows the current with the motor running, and the second part of the video shows the motor holding current when stopped.
Each of the TMC5160 drivers drives a motor at 3A.

Line 20 has M0, but normally the next line is the problem, the first G1 move in the routine. Is spindle.0.at-speed true?

If it does not count reliably, it suggests a problem with
the quadrature.

The count should be absolutely consistent.

Tommylights suggestion to use an oscilloscope is good.

Also if you can run the spindle at (very) low constant speed you can look
at the encoder A/B signals with halscope.

The signals to watch are:

hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.input-a
hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.input-b
hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.input-index

( assuming the spindle encoder is encoder 00 )

I wrote this parametric G-code program and it seems to run fine on my simulation machine.  But when I try to run it on the real machine it stops at line 20  and gives (Does not exicute line 20) no feedback as to why.  However my simulation machine is running Linuxcnc 2.9, and the real  machine is only on 2.7. 

When I press button Touch Off, i see menu. When I enter my value, can`t press OK

Hi everybody,
i found some threats (e.g. Simulate a mesa 7i96 (solved)) where a component was written for mocking a 7i96e mesacard. Nevertheless i didn't found this component code published and as i'm using myself a 7i76e card i wrote a component on my own for mocking/simulating this driver.
My idea was to use the same .ini and .hal-files (and .tcl-files with some if statements -)) as on my real milling machine to keep the adaptions between simulation and real machine as low as possible.
In case it is interesting/helpful, i put the component-code on github.com/pkl42/linuxcnc_components_sim.git 
Also not all available pins are included right now, i added a detailed list on the git repository.
I tried to write the component in a generic way, so it should be quite easy to add missing pins or even adapting a 7i95 or 7i96 card. 
 

Easy, just make as much as you need/like of configs that fit your hardware, use the wizard to create each of them.
Although, plasma will not play nice with other features due to huge amounts of fine metal dust that blackens everything.

Do you have a scope to monitor A and B encoder lines?

I had something similar a few years back with a china encoder where the pulses were correct in one direction, but would get thinner with speed on the other direction.
This was a new out of box encoder, the same make/model encoder worked properly after replacing it.

I'm having threading issues where the machine cuts a slightly different thread each time. This has always been the case since I retrofitted a late 70's CNC lathe 8 years ago. Recently I've decided I've had enough and want it running "perfectly" which is why I'm finally digging into the issue.

Initially I thought the issue was due to noise on my encoder lines. I finally tracked down the source of the noise I had and it was EMI from my cheap chinesium servo drives. I've thoroughly isolated those now and have very clean encoder signals so I really doubt it's that.

• I'm running LinuxCNC 2.7.4
• The OS is: Debian 7.10 (Wheezy) and the kernel is 3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae
• The encoder is a US Digital HI-1024-IE-D with a differential sort of backpack that connects to the single ended encoder and drives differential signals to my mesa 7i76 breakout board.
• The 7i76 is connected to a mesa 7i92
• I keep doing test runs on a thread and every pass is slightly different. It's as if it's not getting correct the index pulse and I suspected that to be the case which is why I put so much effort into getting rid of any noise. However this does not appear to be the case.
• When I turn the spindle manually 10 turns I expect to see 4096*10 or 40960 counts in motion.spindle_revs, but it seems to undercount by about 5-10 counts per revolution. I've swapped in a different encoder and I have basically the same issue. What is strange is that if I rotate the spindle back and forth +- 45 degrees or so a few times and go back to the original position I'll have accumulated a couple hundred encoder counts. What I think I've discovered is that the system undercounts in the forward spindle direction, but seems to count properly in reverse.

Attached is my .hal file.

Any ideas?

Good day Forum
Just a quick question for the forum, I have a Biesse 37L router that I would like to use it as multi config machine ( plasma cutter , CNC router and 3D printer ) . I would like know if someone can point me on how to make multi config on Linuxcnc so I can make things happen 
Thank you 
 

Yes - unchecking autovolts then uses the material voltage. Duh

thanks again

Hi Aciera,

Its been a long time.
I saw your work and it was great.
but I have a XYZAC-TRT machine and for some work I need to run my machine as 3+2 with TWP.
I saw this video as it was TRT machine:

So I want to know how I can use my machine as such.

Thank You in advance,

Regards,
Abhishek
