Here is the big one. I split it using the print to file and custom page numbers. Hope it works

 Sounds like you spot on with you home made lubricator.Since the mechanical logic in the Willy Vogel system is dumb there is the possibility that the relief pressure to the tank may end up at a lower pressure than the controller pressure switch. It hasn't happened on mine though.The Vogel controller is very simple on mine. It only allows you to set the time between lubrication events. And it always does a cycle on power up. During commissioning my machine it dumped and the entire tank because of that. So I put a delay on timer on it to delay the startup cycle.It also has a mode where it will lube after a certain number of pulses are sent to it. So you could put micro-switches on the drive motors to count the slide movements and oil accordingly. My Heidenhain has the ability to count slide distance traveled, but I haven't figured out how to invoke that.Plus I would need to have 4 individual solenoids to deliver to my 4 axes individually as they reach the distance.BTW: the pump on the lubricator is a a cycloidal one typical of many cars. That's so the pressure pulsations are smaller and don't confuse the pressure switches.

Got the power to the screen and pc wired:) 

Why you put exe 602 and not your ic-nv boards?
Can you share your configs and hal components for gears and spindle speed?

All these CAM are dragknife not tangential.
Tangential knife has an extra C axis that is mounted on Z axis to actively rotate the knife.

OK well thanks for the replies. At least I know I'm not going mad. Well not more than usual .

Yes, I guess the problem would be migrating all the messages. I might ask around as I know someone who's had to do this with other systems.

Meanwhile, I wonder if it might be useful to have a notice on the page. Or maybe on the registration page so new users would get fair warning.

 

They'd forget, or more likely not pay attention or just get confused.
Anyway what's life without surprises ?

hey there is there any update on your laser? I am currently about to go down the same route

Hi,

I'm having a lot of issues attempting to reply with quote. Mostly this results in my text ending up inside the quote. It's slightly better using source mode but the problems are still there and prevent being able to post a readable reply.

If you click on the quote and cursor over, a symbol will appear on the right side with a red line. click on the symbol and you will be able to type your reply. But don't attempt to edit it!

Looking really good so far, although without actually testing with Mesa attached is much safer for deciding, but it is a go for sure from those tests.
I had several T40/T41/T42/T43, they all worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04 and LinuxCNC 2.5/2.7 using parallel port.
I had Lenovo T420S it was not usable, now it seems with new kernels it is quite good.
I had Lenovo X220 it was unusable, now it seems with new kernel it is quite good.
I have X240 in use on a production machine it works fine with Mesa
I have T470 with touchscreen was used on production machine for over a year or two, works fine with Mesa
And so do X1 Yoga and Yoga 370.
There is a topic on laptops, so if it ends up working with Mesa you should add those there.
Thank you.

Awesome to see more folks doing Linuxcnc fiber lasers. I also just ordered a 6kw laser source from raycus together with the chiller and laser head. I am debating if i will use a raytools controller as those are quite inexpensive or linuxcnc.

What is the current state of the art in linuxcnc fiber lasers? any pointers?

In the whc-whb04b-6.hal example code I downloaded I don't see any debounce filters. Are the pendant buttons debounced in the component or do I need to debounce the bit pins in the .hal file?

Thanks,
I will look how everything is wired.

will get back if need more help

I have been a fairly quiet member here for some years and have been using Mesa boards for 20 years. My hobbies and interests have been joined at the hip with my business for 33yrs. Unfortunately it is time to close-up (thanks to HII Newport News Shipbuilding). Everything I and my business have acquired is now up for auction. I am hoping to pay off my debts and using epay or an auction co. would suck all the money out of it. So we have been building our own auction site at our 25 year old domain https:/lansingmachine.com   We are still working out a few things like shipping and alternate means of payment but we have items listed now. There will be (I hope) a lot more listed soon. I have new and used servo drives and motors, PLCs, HMI panels, you name it. Oh and 36 Mesa boards new and used.
