I don't think you have installed the r8168-dkms driver.

Shotcut for me. it's open source and works . Mine will crash from time to time though. if interested see the link below

I would insert an M63 P.. before the move in question to set a digital output synchronized with the start of the movement. Then create a realtime component that starts to calculate the 3d distance when the digital output goes true and outputs a signal for every 10mm of travel.

I need to make an addition to a GUI I created using Python and QtDesigner.
Is it possible to control an output at the same time while a line of gcode is being processed?
For example,the machine started to move from (0,0,0) . The gcode in process (G0 X60 Y80, Z-5) is making a movement in x,y and z coordinates and the movement is 100mm.
I need to toggle one output for every 10mm progression.
How do I do that?

Hallo,
You can find the center of the hole in Manual mode.

- Jog the Maschine so that the probe stay near the middle of the hole.
- Jog X minus until probe contact
- Zero X axis (easiest way in gmocapy by clicking on the X-Letter of the DRO, you will get an Input panel)
- Jog X plus until probe contact
- go to MDI mode
- enter the DRO value of the X Axis divided by two I.e value shows 57.859 you need to enter G0 X[57.559 / 2]
- Zero X axis

- Jog Y minus until probe contact
- Zero Y axis
- Jog Y plus until probe contact
- go to MDI mode
- enter the DRO value of the Y Axis divided by two I.e value shows 67.859 you need to enter G0 Y[67.559 / 2]
- Zero Y axis

If you want, you can also write a small macro and put that on an button on MDI page.
Take as an example "go to position" from an Sim config. The DRO value is stored IMHO in a var value and can be reached from within the macro. But this is untested!

Okay then, I'll try stepconf again.

Hoe would I then teach the machine to accept a as y2? As far as I'm aware, there's no setting in stepconf for that.

Hello what are some methods to make initial height sensing work for underwater cutting. I am using a hypertherm ht2000 with a pneumatic breakaway so I would like toavoid modifying it to floating head. Is it possible to accurately use tourqe sensing to determine the top of the plate when plasma cutting? 

Hello
I'm a newbie. I started DIY Ethercat board with AX58100
1. AX58100-16in-16out
2. AX58100-Step/DIR + Encoder ABZ +8in/8out GPIO

Everything works on Twincat and I can connect it to Linux lcec

I want to use it with Linux CNC as 3axis and 1 spindle
In the axis there are
-Step/Direct
-Input8
-Output8
-Encoder ABZ
And there is AX58100-16in-16out board as the main I/O of the system

But I still can't create the correct ethercat-conf.xml file. I don't understand if it needs to be used as CIA402 or not
I have attached the XML files from AXIS for both boards

Can you please suggest a generator for ethercat-conf.xml for this project

Thanks for your support

 
 

The system does have brakes which I have disabled (the joint free drops when it gets the follow error)

it doesn’t have a physical counterbalance that I can tell, maybe the gearbox has some sort of clutch?  

When idle, the motors are able to hold the joint in place even if I push on it.

I have a feeling that there’s something off  between the motors and encoders.   When it moves, it seems to be miscalculating the actual vs expected travel - but that’s just gut feeling.   It sometimes errors moving up, but not always.. it always errors moving down.

Just add a VCP button, if you need it.

link to fdarling's sample code if you don't already have it by now.

Is there any way to create a button to select two different accelerations? example
my machine has an acceleration of 1000ms2 in the ini file, I want to create a button in the axis interface that when I press it changes the acceleration to 500, so I can work with heavy parts more smoothly without having to change it manually

First of all, my deepest deepest sympathies,sorry to hear you live in Melbourne, the only good thing Victoria has to other is Philip Island and the roads, airports and docks that lead out of the state.

Why aren't you using the premade image for your RPi ?

The links are on the Linuxcnc home page under downloads.

Please supply config files.

No the W5500 works, initiating (ip addrr and other such stuff) is done via the FPGA via the SPI interface.
You'll have to setup your config to use the W5500 so that the correct bitfile is generated.

Examples and docs are supplied on the github project page.

Remember "it doesn't" work isn't very helpful when trying to get help. Config files and such help. Remember this is not a trip to the dentist, we are not dentists and don't want to have to pull teeth to get information to help.
