I'm recalling a message where I stated that the problem was solved. It is not. I'm attaching the present state of the relevant .ini and .hal files.

Hi,

How are you?

How are you progressing with this, did you get it to install successfully?

If your current hal file is like the older one, enable is
controlled by joint.N.amp-enable-out. This will be true anytime
LinuxCNC is in the run state. 

From the older hal file:

net x-enable <= joint.1.amp-enable-out
net x-enable => hm2_7i76.0.stepgen.01.enable
net x-enable => hm2_7i76.0.7i76.0.0.output-01


Didn't you mention that you had DMM drives?

AFAICR, these are disabled when the enable input is powered.

Hi, please share your LinuxCNC hal and ini files. Is the remora ethernet component loaded?

github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c...omponents/Remora-eth

A better question I should ask is what kind of response or voltage should I see on the ENA pin when the jog is made? It's looks to be 24V and not changing.

Thanks

i successfully updated to 2.9.4.  My pins are labeled as 7i76e now but i believe that is due to me picking 7i76 instead of 7i76e in pncconf. 

However, I'm still not getting the motors to move.  It's changing the DRO and display in Axis.  I see voltage changes in Dir and Step pins but nothing changes.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Have anyone found a solution? I have the same problem with a Dell S2240T touchscreen, no double click or any clicks in QTdragonHD

Managed to get info by making a test config in MesaCT and then look in I/O.hal

Input 16, TB5
hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-16

Can anyone direct me to the correct file path , or file structure within the system ? Machine will not move after a restart after , an .INI modification.Machine will run with another machines control. I have found a backup usb stick . But it has several files on it , Not sure what to delete and what to keep? I would like to reload the complete backup into the computer and try it. The hard drive is a cluttered mess , and I would like to clean it out. I will down load the files from the USB , if anyone can help! I will post some pictures also.     

Try this
www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso
You can boot from USB, and make a quick simple config and test with, all without installing it, then if it works better, install.

I just disabled a bunch of stuff in BIOS (another thread recommended) and latency is down to 15k, but all the same errors persist

Hello, I'm currently facing a small problem. I want to monitor my servos (Stepperonline A6 750w), which are operated via EtherCAT, using a closed loop. Currently, I only get feedback from the motor encoders, but I already have glass scales installed. Now I'm trying to link them so that the glass scales work together with the servos via PID (the scales are triggered by the Beckhoff EL5101).
Regards, Tom

OK I just looked into the latency test. It's almost 70k which i assume is bad... I tried changing to isolcpus=3 with no change.

I saw in another post someone said to use RTAI kernel but I cannot figure out how to install it. Computer is Dell Optiplex 9020 which people have recommended in several other forum posts.

Do you think RTAI is the right route? do i need to reinstall linuxcnc with a different image and then install the .deb file for rtai?

Do you have any photos of your project or a build thread?

This will be the second machine in the shop powered by linux. I'm getting close to having the 10x15 plasma table I've been building completed. Got all the motors/mechanical finished. The way the bar feeder works is it has 2 hydraulic clamps and one clamp is connected to a ball screw. Threw cycles of clamping unclamping and movement of the screw it carts the material forward.
Still unsure if I'm going to move forward with this saw project or not the saw is in pretty rough shape I'm bringing it home today or tommorow but I most likely will. I also bought a cnc lathe the same day a hyundai hit 20m for $1000 it's in nice shape but haven't been under power for 4 years and had some connection issues when we put it under power. So I definitely have my hands full here with projects. What do you guys think about gui how should I go about making one?
