Working with a Pi 5 and the LinuxCNC 2.9.4 image

Hey.
I've been trying to get a 7i95T to work but cant seem to get a working config.
After reading on the forums, that the Mesact helps out a lot i wanted to give it a try but it seems, that i'm doing something wrong installing it.
I'm guessing that i am missing the public key

This is the error it gives me:
Thank you for your help.

Did a bit of testing with the PC i have lying around (mostly Thinkpads). The old Panasonic thoughbook seems to have died.
My TP x220 (nearly all peripheral deactivated in the BIOS) does the latency test with just not exceeding 35000.
What I still not understand is the complete chain of devices from PC to the machine. As I understand it:
The budget way: 3 TB6600 connected directly over parallel port to the PC (limits the router to what the PC can process (limiting point is the latency)
The more expensive , but higher performance way:
a mesa ethernet card (FPGA doing most of the latency related stuff) connected to (more expensive and powerfull) stepper drivers.

What I seem to miss is the point of the daughter/ I/O boards (like 7i78, 7i76). Are those additional boards to have more options like (spindel speed/ on/off, peripherals like dust collector, air assist etc) or to those have the stepper drivers included).
Please let me know, if those info is somewhere in docs and I managed to miss that.

Yesterday I changed it to a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 I had on hand ... and now it's seems to be fine : I loaded all my files again and again with no problem.

I don't remeber what was the old CG but I will have a look next time I'll go my wookshop.

This was it!
Thank you very much

There is a specifically Maho forum here, which is all about keeping them original.

Yeah. I switched it to the 24V in the end
TY

Thanks for posting your solution. 

Could you share your EtherCAT configuration for this control panel? 

 

Hallo LinuxCNC Nutzer,
Ich habe eine Weeke BP15 auf LinuxCNC Umgebau mit LonnoxCUT als CAM.
Läuft echt geil!
Ich habe nur bei der Ausgabe der .ngc Datei ettliche Zeilen die ich überspringen möchte.
Ich habe mehrer Spindeln, die über M6 und M61 angesprochen werden.
Die Hauptspindel wird über M6 geladen und die Platte wird formatiert, dann das nächste werkzeug über M61 geladen.
Natürlich fällt das bei M6 geladen Werkzeug aus dem Speiche bei Linuxcnc raus.
Bei dem nächsten Bauteil ist jedoch der Fräser bei der Hauptspindel noch eingespannt, das weis aber Linuxcnc nicht mehr.
Und macht einen Werkzeugwechsel, wobei es ja noch drin ist.

Ist es möglich über einen externen Taster (mdi-Befehl) zu einer fixen Zeile im Programm zu springen.
Es ist immer die gleiche Zeile, sprung nach der Zeile "M6 T65 (Dia Fuegekopf Wendeplatten)"

Further David
Further there are three very small Allen headed grub screws in the spindle. too small for my Allen keys. The same are flush with the surface of the shaft. they seem like a machinist reference mark but I just don't know.
Seem like I am going backwards on this job.
cheers Chris

Hello David
I removed the horizontal spindle out of my Maho 700C milling machine. I guess for the fourth time. All because I cant get the hydraulic tool changer to work.
I have an English version of the manual on the Maho 700C The same explains the machine in great detail but an omission is how to remove the tool change spindle and the spring washers that activate the tool gripper.
I cant see how to get it apart so I can get to see the possibly broken spring washers. I can not see anything wrong and in my view it seems like trapped air in the system. I have tried to bleed the system but with no luck. The vertical spindle tool changer works as it should. Today I put the spindle in a hand press and compressed the spring washers on their spindle. I can see the hydraulic piston move but can't see how to get it apart

Role of configPdos
‌Function‌:

‌configPdos="true"‌: Enables automatic PDO mapping from the slave’s ESI file.
‌configPdos="false"‌: Requires manual PDO configuration in XML.

Hi everyone, I’d like to share a long-standing issue I encountered and the solution I found. The problem began when I tried to connect an EtherCAT panel to LinuxCNC. During the configuration process, the slave device remained stuck in the ‌PREOP‌ state and failed to enter ‌OP‌ (Operational state). This was caused by manually configuring certain PDO files, which led to unrecognized settings. The fix was to set configPdos="false" in the configuration. Apologies for my poor English—the original text was translated using software. For reference, I’ve also attached an image showing the LED activation (see attached image). Hope this helps anyone facing a similar issue!

I tested it. The problem is solved. I'll corect my post for automatical addition right P value, but it's interesting task, how calculate it.
And another question. How can I make deb package with new planner?

Hello,I would like to ask if anyone has a CamWorks post processor for LinuxCNC.

The LinuxCNC wiki page lists post processors, but the download links are no longer working. Would anyone be able to re-upload them or share them with me?

Additionally, I noticed that some forum members mentioned having a CamWorks post processor for lathes. If available, it would be great to add this to the wiki for others to find more easily.


Since the basic SOLIDWORKS license includes an integrated version of CamWorks, I believe the post processor should be named CamWorks (SOLIDWORKS) for better visibility.


I appreciate any help and a possible re-upload. Thanks in advance!
