Can't succesfully release Tool (according to Probe Basic GUI)

Category: QtPyVCP

I made one for my machine, but i don't recall what was changed.  you can use it as a template to create your own machines requirements and make sure the macros are correctly setup.  the docs explain the different M-codes for DIO.

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m62-m65

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m66

again these are changed to work with my machine and may not completely align with the sim macro requirements:

After a couple of hours fiddiling with my vfd to get it working using modbus my pi4 died on me... not really sure what happened it just suddenly went black so i purschased a mini pc witth a celeron j4125 with dual ethernet ports.

Ah, good to know. Thank you for the reply (and for Remora)!

Those are just templates, you need to define and edit for your machines sensors and requirements. My machine uses two sensors one for clamped and one for released because it's only reporting when the plunger is actual at the released or clamped height. If you're have just one sensor that's high or low, than you may need to remove a line from the macro. The best thing to do is to map everything out and then review your sensors and the macro sensor inputs and ensure everything is accounted for.

Can't succesfully release Tool (according to Probe Basic GUI)

Category: QtPyVCP

Hmm.. I see. I checked the clamp tool.ngc? I see that the script waits for the sensor to be high. As I connected the "release" sensor, my sensor is high when the spindle is released and not when the tool is clamped. Could this be the issue?

Does PB use two different scripts for releasing (which works) and clamping (which fails in my case)? Anyway, it looks like I need to invert the value in the script. However, then the debug text in the script should say "(abort, Failed to clamp  tool) ; abort if the sensor does not activate in 2 seconds". Correct?

EDIT: Got it working by changing the LT to GT (waiting for it to be low). Is there a current list about the expected signals in PB? Like ATC drawbar to be connected to motion.digital-out-02, sensor to x, another sensor to y etc.

Then something in your hall isn't correct or in the macro. Maybe the delay time?

yes, that is the "spindle-released" sensor. As mentioned above I have to convert it to a binary value as the 14V is below the (60% of 24V) digital threshold of my 7i76e.

I can see the "spindle-released" going high when the drawbar is pulled (so, no error when releasing the tool) but get the error when clamping the tool.

There is a working branch but I haven't had time to work on the macros. All the UI work is done though.

Can't succesfully release Tool (according to Probe Basic GUI)

Category: QtPyVCP

Hi,

I am currently integrating my ATC. However, I get the Error "Failed to release Tool" message when I clamp the tool.

My HAL looks like the following. I get a 0-14V Signal which is converted into a HIGH LOW for the Motion controller.
#ATC Settings

net analog1 hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.analogin1

setp comp.0.in1 10.0
net analog1 comp.0.in0

net ventil-spindel hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-12 <= motion.digital-out-02

net spindel-released comp.0.out <= motion.digital-in-02

In the HAL Show, I can see that spindle-released goes high when I press the "Release tool" button in the GUI. I also do not get an error message. However, when I insert the tool and click "clamp tool" I get the message "Failed to release tool" although everything works fine (and the spindle-released goes back to low). 

I found that I need to connect the motion.digital-in-02 [url=https://github.com/dpslwk/probe_basic/tree/subroutine_unify_and_move_to_nc_files/linuxcnc/nc_files/probe_basic/atc_carousel]here on the PB Github (manual is hard to find). 
I was unable to find more information on the PB Website. The current PB Github also doesn't have this Readme file/instructions.

Does anyone know what needs to be done here?

Thanks![/url]

That sounds great! Is there a release candidate / date already on the horizon? Im really interested in the rack implementation. :)

I've done some more parts on the mill and it's working great apart from the slow spindle speeds I have to run.

Here is a short video of two aluminum mounting brackets that I designed for the rear sway bar of my race car.



The mounting brackets came out really nice but I can't wait until I have a new spindle so that I can increase the speeds and feeds a bit.

I'm also considering expanding my enclosure a bit as the one I have at the moment allows a bit too many chips too escape during some operations.

Thanks - is there any way to recognize this from the specs, or are you aware of a list of screens that provide this?

Asus Motherboard + AMD5600gt

Category: PathPilot

Hey guys, I'm trying to put my previous PC to use on my PCNC1100 S3 - pathpilot - 7i92t.  I get through the installation and it does freeze after I select my machine.  I have verified that the 7i92t does work as I borrowed another PC to test the 7i92t + PCNC1100 for functionality.  So I think it's some issue with my PC setup.

I get these errors during startup after the BIOS and before pathpilot:

Mother Board:  Asus a520M 
CPU: AMD 5600gt

core perfctr but no constraints; unknown hardware
kobject: can not set name properly!

Any recommendations on bios settings or something to clear this?

thanks

Remora is still in active development but support for the LPC1768 is now legacy only. STM32 and RT1052 MCUs are now the go to with more boards available.
