Edit:
i just realized that I probably have the same problem as @dschultz.
I just don't know how to switch to variable PDO mapping?

I believe the real issue was the drive didn't like the PDOS I had in the xml.
Even though my original settings were one of the "Fixed PDO mapping" options from the manual (1704 & 1B02).
Anyway, I switched it to the "Variable PDO mapping" 1600 & 1A00 and the drive goes to OP mode and comes alive when I enable the machine!

Has anyone had success with setting up the CIA402 homing mode?

Very cool. That little lapping machine is awesome.

Probe tripped during non-probe move deadlock

The updates in 2.9.7 fix (hopefully) a bug where the "probe triggered during non-probe move" error was raised when the machine was actually probing (due to probe contact bounce). 

Am i understanding this correctly:
A software solution was implemented in LinuxCNC for a hardware problem/issue ?
It does seem like it, or what am i missing?

It kinda improved, but the „probe triggered“ fault is still happening.
I was not able to finish even shorter milling programs (<5 mins).

The updates in 2.9.7 fix (hopefully) a bug where the "probe triggered during non-probe move" error was raised when the machine was actually probing (due to probe contact bounce). 

If you are seeing the message when _not_ actually probing (and you refer to a 5 minute milling cycle, with no mention of probing) then that is a different issue.

Makin' Christmas presents... We like dice games.
Cross-posted from reddit, so I could include some media a bit more easily.

So, I just got a Precision Matthews PM-970 (RF45 clone) up and running with a Linuxcnc based retrofit with all of the bells and whistles. This is my first project.Also, built a planetary gear polisher, since I don't want to hand-polish 6 sides of 36 dice.Not a single step of this went the way I planned, but I think the work product turned out nicely.I didn't tune the PID properly to begin with, which I think is why my final dims were ~5 thou out of spec in some parts. This cascaded down to needing to remove more material in sanding/polishing. I left the final profile cut to 0.005", but didn't do a spring pass, which I think led to some tool deflection, which caused some tilt in the second op.Anyway, for a first CNC project for a manual machinist. I'm happy.

This is my Config which should Work. 
It´s a small setup in my Shop on my Workbench. It is for tinkering with, EtherCAT & LinuxCNC.

The PC is an old Siemens Microbox PC with 3 Ethernet Ports.

I am pretty sure something can be done with some hal or tailor made component, but i never had the need for such thing.
Should be possible with encoder feedback to LinuxCNC as it will continue to monitor position even when drives are disabled, but i do not recall if it also adjusts the output position while disabled (i think not).
That also has the advantage of using the LinuxCNC as a DRO when using it manually.

Hi,

Here is my cthercAT.xml. 
When loading, I get an error saying that the pin lcec.0.A6.control-word already exists.
>EtherCAT pdos< gives me completely different addresses for the A6 400W.
0x6060 is not mapped:
It is possible that my XML has an error.
But how am I supposed to write an 8 (csp mode) to 0x6060 if it does not currently exist on the A

Thanks for the replies! I have considered putting independent x/y MPGs somewhere on the machine, but it doesn't quite scratch the itch I'm trying to scratch. 
My background is a manual machinist, and I wanted to add some CNC capability to my arsenal, even if that came at the cost of being able to do manual machining the way I used to. That said, there's no substitute from the feedback you get from turning the cranks, when you just need to make a quick slot, face a part, etc.
It seems like LinuxCNC (appropriately) is really intended almost exclusively for the CNC use case.

Every slave must have its own configuration in the config xml file.
See example here. github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/ma...le/ethercat-conf.xml

You must enter the config for the new drive.

 without my M64/M65-flipflop solution, 

 

Please publish your solution in full, including function declarations such as loadrt + everything, everything, everything. So that I can repeat it.

You get after start another lcec.1. instances with your pins.

Hi,
can you please add your .json config.

Have you set the scale for the quad encoder correctly?

and then how will you specify the .hal file for separate masters? 

there will be more lcec. instances? 

do anybody have working config?
