Did you fix the typos in your hal file?

Analog servos? Velocity mode?

Lots of other men contributed to its discovery and invention too.
If you mean the induction motor, no, no one even tried it before him. He knew his s#it, for sure.
Induction motor has no magnets, no rotor coils, no brushes, yet it works!
It has been the single most important discovery that pushed civilization and the industrial complex forward.

Very impressive. Here I was thinking he just invented Tesla coils!

Upload hal and ini files here so we can have a look.

I refurbished a 30-year-old CNC router machine at my school.

The original drivers were E-waste.

The original motors are great.

The original transformer (that powers the drivers) is also great (though it's terrifyingly powerful).

The original rectifer bridge + capacitor were also E-waste.

But most of the original switches are still good (one switch got welded contacts due to overcurrent).

Mechanical things outlive electrical things.

Yep! I'm keen to reuse the majority of the control contractors, breakers and transformers. I've got the full schematics for the machine, so ideally I would splice the original contractor boards into Linux control. 

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the tip Langdons!

I'm a little apprehensive about cheap drivers as I've struggled with the manuals and particularly tuning in the past.

How was your experience setting up and tuning the servos?

Surface finish and accuracy are rather important to me on this machine

Unfortunately not. 


I updated Probe Basic and created a new configuration, but the problem isn't resolved. 

I tried changing spindle zero in SIM, and it does retain the spindle zero value.

I think the problem with the keys is with the probe basic interface because it works perfectly on axis.

    I keep getting a soft max and min limit after homing x and stops the homing all process, after homing it gives "Exceeded POSITIVE soft limit (4.80000) on joint 0" i can neither move x or y axis, can move z axis, I can home y axis, but then I cant move z axis after that.I have the axis version of linuxcnc 2.9.0 on plasma KDE desktop. 

unfortunately with NVEM I had a bad experience, even with drivers other than TB6560, it could be my fault.
With EC500 after a moment of panic for the time out,
it was possible to recover and it worked on the first try

it is not necessarily the same for you

here you say everything is ok.
what is not working? Have you tried on other axes?

yes the direction of rotation and all the axes respond, you have some axes that don't work at all! Mine work but not smoothly!

Hi, are the xml files from the aforementioned Sasha’s shop somewhere to be found? Would love to have a look.

Yes that 64-bit integer data-type is missing in hal, but I think I heard that might change for next release. Don't quote me on that though.
In the other hand, there is the flexibility to use all EtherCAT's data types (almost then) and convert data into hal data types to send and receive so in one way it is very flexible. Downside is it requires a bit of understanding from the user who may not be so interested in this, just want to use it kind of.
