PCIe to ParPort - chipset PCI 60806A works? was created by Cherna

PCIe to ParPort - chipset PCI 60806A works?

Category: Computers and Hardware

 
Long time lurker, first time poster. Sorry in advance if I make any mistakes, if there's info missing or if this is the incorrect place to post this.

I was looking through the forum and other related sources to find a PCIe-ParPort board that would work with LinuxCNC and was available where I am (Buenos Aires, Argentina), which turned out to be quite the task. The only one I managed to find was one with the chipset PCI 60806A (It also uses the ASM1083 as PCIe-PCI bridge). Most sources noted this chipset as not supported, but I didn't really have many options, so I decided to give it a try (They said I could return it if it didn't work, so I guess I was trying it for free).

Lo and behold, it worked first try (Second actually, the first address wasn't correct). I'll share some of the details in images below (such as the `lspci -v` output and so on).

My question for you, wise internet people, is: Am I missing something? Will it stop working randomly for some reason I am too ignorant to know? Should I return it and go through the hassle of importing a tried-and-tested board from abroad? Did I just get lucky?

Main source that says this chipset isn't supported:  Here

The HAL python module allows reading or arbitrary pins and signals without connecting to them.
It's written in C++ but shows the process and borrows C code from HAL cmd.

That would be great!

I don't know if it helps, but if so I can install 2 Sunix cards (one PCI and one PCIe) and share with you a anydesk login.

I am more interested in finding what is causing them to show on one PC and not show on the other PC, and i am sure it is not in software as i tried two installs on the same PC with the same card and it did not show on both.
I am also sure that same PC has marginal BIOS battery as it did show "load setup defaults and continue" more than once lately.

First thing you need to do is get the pci_id.
modinfo parport_pc

That will show you a list of PCI IDs and module parameters.

Then you can use modprobe to load partport_pc using the parameter that's required to set the address of the card.

Now whether the kernel module loads automatically for that card will depend on whether the PCI ID is a match with the driver.
If you can give me your kernel version and PCI ID of the card I can check the kernel sources and see if I can find a match. If not for the kernel you're running but one that might.
In all honesty for the headaches that a parallel port can cause a mesa 7i92 plugged into your existing breakout boards is a better solution. Latency isn't a problem, migration to a another PC is easier.
But I get that parallel port cards can be cheaper.


I love mesa cards, but unfortunately I can only use them in high end projects. Things get expensive really fast bellow equator line.

I wonder if there is a way to force these Sunix cards to load parport_pc driver and module from the I/O ports address?

So it will showup in dmesg as a proper enumerated parallel port.

Why?
I had two of those, both showed everything on 2 different PC's, but 1 did not show driver and kernel module on a 3'rd PC. Same card did show on 1 PC and did not show on another PC.
On the PC that did not show modules another PCI card did not show modules loaded, after showing them and working for years.
All this points to something in BIOS causing that, but i am out of luck as i can not find any more of those Sunix cards.
Here is one example of it showing modules loaded
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...uing?start=20#324494

I thought it might be something trivial to do, but if it is not, nevermind. It is marginally more convenient to find base, extended addresses and available modes (they showup in dmesg and /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport*)

And the bash script I wrote to automate reports assumes it is an enumerated port. If its not, it won't work.

I tried using modprobe, setpci and some others, but linux is high in my list of "things I like doing, but I'm also bad at doing".

Using a servo as a spindle and positional axis - keep getting vague errors was created by ffffrf

Using a servo as a spindle and positional axis - keep getting vague errors

Category: Advanced Configuration

Hello,

  I have a little lathe that was originally using a bldc motor. I wanted to change it out with a servo motor and use it both in positional mode, but also with turning. I went through the basic configurations in pncconf using my mesa 7i96s and got it to work as a turning machine with a stepgen spindle. 

  I read about the possibility of using mux2 to switch between the two modes but I am stuck getting strange errors like command 176, etc. I cant figure out how to debug or what I need to change in my INI and HAL (I have two hal files I am using). I am wondering if someone could look over my files and see if I am missing something obvious? I keep staring at it and am getting nowhere...

I config'd it as an XZ lathe with stepgen spindle originally. I have to HAL files I use: C+turning and the mux HAL

My current issue is as follows: The program compiles and opens. I then home axis, which causes my X and Z axis to home. I can now move those freely. However, when I go to try and move the C axis, I get "error on joint 2" and on terminal it just gives all sorts of "command" errors that I cant seem to debug further. Has anyone experienced this?

First thing you need to do is get the pci_id.
modinfo parport_pc

That will show you a list of PCI IDs and module parameters.

Then you can use modprobe to load partport_pc using the parameter that's required to set the address of the card.

Now whether the kernel module loads automatically for that card will depend on whether the PCI ID is a match with the driver.
If you can give me your kernel version and PCI ID of the card I can check the kernel sources and see if I can find a match. If not for the kernel you're running but one that might.
In all honesty for the headaches that a parallel port can cause a mesa 7i92 plugged into your existing breakout boards is a better solution. Latency isn't a problem, migration to a another PC is easier.
But I get that parallel port cards can be cheaper.

I think your method of fixing this by applying a tiny offset worked because it meant that the the loop was no longer complete so its signed area was a lot larger. Although likewise, adding this offset could technically break a curve which would have worked without it?

The offset is not breaking the curve, and the curve is valid without this offset.
The 1e-12 offset was made to get the curve out off a singularity.
The 4-clothoid constrain formula has this result in rare cases where local clothoid plane alignes with global world plane.

We have input xy angle, input z angle for the clothoid fit.

The abstract could also use vector rotation as input, wich can be used to set the
torsion in and out rotations. Technically you can create clothoid helixes using this torsion turn value. But the abstract does not
use this oppertunity.

@Arciera,
Thanks for your contribution!

Porbe basic lathe: Questions about the keyboard

Category: QtPyVCP

Well, back here with some questions. 


Just like what happened to me with the mill, in the lathe interface I've enabled keyboard jog and disabled the safety key, but it has no effect and I have to keep holding the Ctrl/Alt key. The + key for fast forward doesn't work. Is there any way to change it? 


The keys for moving the axes with the keyboard are the same as those for the mill, and it's very inconvenient because they're separated. Can I change it so it moves the same as the axis?

The big screen turned out really nice :) so next step is to make the keyboard shelf ready and alot of push bottoms:)

This isn't a great solution, but I don't have the access to fix the Dreamhost certificate.

But, you can copy the download link, then paste it into the address bar of a new window, delete the "s" in "https://..." and then it should download the file.
