Hi Tommy,

i think i never used the lower case "s". I used the millturn.comp for this function. Here is the part from my comp file:

EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsType);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsSwitchable);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsSwitch);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsInverse);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsForward);

static hal_u32_t switchkins_type;

int kinematicsSwitchable() {return 1;}

int kinematicsSwitch(int new_switchkins_type)
{
switchkins_type = new_switchkins_type;
rtapi_print("kinematicsSwitch(): type=%d\n",switchkins_type);
// create case structure for switchable kinematics
switch (switchkins_type)
{
case 0: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_INFO,
"kinematicsSwitch:TYPE0\n");
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 1;
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 0;
break;
case 1: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_INFO,
"kinematicsSwitch:TYPE1\n");
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 0;
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 1;
break;
default: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR,
"kinematicsSwitch:BAD VALUE <%d>\n",
switchkins_type);
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 0;
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 0;
return -1; // FAIL
}
return 0; // ok
}

You need to plot the voltage or encoder with halscope. I think that is way too low. I would expect around 130 volts. I suspect the THCAD is not properly calibrated. The plot will tell you how long to delay. I would check the input voltage at the thcad with a multimeter.

I did have a machine once that needed about 2 seconds to be stable...

Linux is case sensitive, so kinematicsswitch is not the same as kinematicsSwitch, notice the upper case S.

This will not work for the Pi because the buildbot does not build Debs for it.
Your only option is to compile from source.

It is a new machine. The divider is set to 1/32. I am not sure what voltage is given by the source as this is also a new configuration Hypertherm that does stuff automatically. It reads the consumable and does it's own adjustments. Although I disabled that feature on the plasma source. It might still be doing something that I am not aware off.
The voltage seems very stable . The thing that bothers me is that the torch starts moving up as soon as it starts cutting. It does not delay the 5 seconds that I set the THC_delay to.

Additionally i created another bare bone config with step conf and just replaced the KINEMATICS Name in the .ini file with my kinematic file. (It starts up with a 5 axis demo kinematics file, just not with mine) I assume there is something wrong in my kinematics ?

Use halscope to do a plot of encoder.0.velocity pin during a pierce, might be interference, although as you are getting 55 and 75V readings it also seems not right, and this might be due to scaling and/or due to interference.
What divider ratio is Mesa THCAD set to? Usually 1/32.
If this is a new machine, disable auto volts, disable void lock and velocity lock, well disable everything automated until you get the machine working correctly, only then enable the automation.

What type of control do the drives/VFD take?
What encoders/resolvers are on the motors?
If they do turn out to be analog +-10V ones, a Mesa 7i97T should do just fine, and if you do need more I/O you can add a 7i84 with 32 inputs and 16 outputs.
Here are some topic to give you an idea of what is involved:

Those motors do not seem to have encoders at all, so will not do for CNC control as you found out and i am late to point out.

You can try adding encoders as the lid is easy to open, but i fear it might be way to much work to attach them due to short shaft and limited space.
Might be possible using those magnetic encoders as they are simply glued to the shaft, so only drilling a hole for it and for the electronic on the lid, but i never used them so i have no idea how good and reliable they are.

You should use the M100 to call python programs to do this, see the following example.......linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m100-m199.

Problem with THC

Category: Plasmac

Hi,
I have a machine that has a Hypertherm 105 Sync source on and I am having issues getting the THC to work correctly.
I had to adjust the THC_delay to 5 seconds before I could get a stable voltage reading for Autovolts. The torch will go down to the cut height but starts moving upwards before the THC_delay has timed out. The cut voltage seems to settle at 55V but the torch moves up until it reaches 75V and stays there.
The strange thing is it will cut the first cut correct and then misbehaves after that.
Any ideas where to fiddle?
