Something to note if a cable is to be continuously flexed a braided shield is better suited for things like drag chain
cable carriers at least in the long run and industrial settings where the machine maybe operating 24/7 365 for
years on end.
 

Even better, get drag chain rated cable. Thats what I have used for the last couple of projects and its not very expensive. The 4 core stuff I use has a plastic sheath around the wires, then the braided shield and then an outer plastic sheath, It was called ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 400 CP and like everything of quality in Australia, I had to wait for it to arrive from Germany

I would suggest creating a user panel which allows adding elements to various predefined areas of gmoccapy without actually modifying the gui code:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/gmoccapy.html...tabs-and-side-panels

Here is an example:
1. Unzip the attached folder and save the folder 'gladevcp' containing the files 'testpanel.hal' and 'testpanel.ui' into your machine config folder

2. Add this to the [DISPLAY] section of your ini file:

You should now see a custom panel and its halpins in Gmoccapy:
 

Got all the profiles and cut to size. Some of them are quite massive in real life, it doesn't feel that way on the 3d model. 




Started processing the profiles:

 

It's not moving as fast as I'd like, but I'm glad something is done already.

 

Parameterized gcode will not work as it is loaded fully on opening and changes can not be refreshed while LinuxCNC is in Auto mode.
External offsets should work perfectly for what you need, as they can be applied while the machine is running in Auto mode.

For this i use this hal pin:

Hello Aciera,
I have no "nyx" hardware to test, so I chose other option.
I revise "pos-scale" of cia402: "gear ratio" * "encoder counts" / 360 degreeIt runs well this moment.

Have you triedin EtherCAT option ?.
I think it is better solution. My drive does not support, so I could not try. Please share your experience.
Thank you.

So, I uploaded a working version for interacting with SDO. With this utility, you can read the status of SDO registers. I haven't yet implemented the online value writing—this will be the next step. It's not as straightforward because you can't attach it to an address like with PDO. You have to use upload and download commands. I would like someone to test it, provide feedback on its functionality, and offer advice on code optimization, etc., because after a while, you start writing clumsy code.

Hello ,

​​​​​​After many attempts I have now got the revolver to run I have modified the duplo.comp here from the forum, The revolver works but unfortunately the drive and the brake do not switch off fast enough after reaching the position (measured with halscope 52ms) this value should be less than 40ms  Unfortunately I don't quite understand the syntax correctly  Can someone help me with this ?

No, in the end, I didn't take their equipment because there weren't any significant advantages. I just talked to them at the exhibition. But SoE can be easily adapted to LinuxCNC.

Hi all, I recently purchased an ARM board and installed Debian12 as well as LinuxCNC for it.The following information is provided on the official website.

NanoPC-T6 - FriendlyELEC WiKi

I didn't know how to compile the RT kernel, so I downloaded the source code according to the wiki provided on the official website and tried to patch it.But the patch is wrong, and apparently there seems to be some conflict between the source code given by the official website and the RT kernel patch.See the attached attachment for detailed error messages.

Thank you to everyone

Thank you very much. I understand very well. For example, can I place a box on this page where I can enter a decimal number? and a button
For example, the value I will write in this box will be saved in #100 in the g code file. Is this possible?

I am almost done with the qtDragon version of the rapidchangeatc toolchanger panel and M6 routines.
There is one (or two) things holding me up.

How can I tell from a macro (.ngc) file in what mode the machine is working?
With mode I mean, could be in toolchange mode, in idle mode and so on.
I have dust extraction coupled with the vfd.spindle-on signal.

#vacuum cleaner delay
addf vacuumOr2 servo-thread

loadrt timedelay names=timeDelayVacuum
addf timeDelayVacuum servo-thread

setp timeDelayVacuum.on-delay  0
setp timeDelayVacuum.off-delay 4

net spindle-on spindle.0.on => vfd.spindle-on

net spindle-on vacuumOr2.in0     # probably an M command
net coolant-flood  vacuumOr2.in1 # re use the flood button in qtvcp
net vacuum vacuumOr2.out
net vacuum timeDelayVacuum.in    # start the delay

net delay_sig timeDelayVacuum.out  [HMOT](CARD0).ssr.00.out-05[/code]

For the ATC to work the spindle has to turn. In my setup the dust extraction turns on when the ATC fires the spindle up. Lots of unnecessary noise.
I figure I can fix in this two ways, expand the above code with another OR2 and the Machine mode signal, or do it in the macro.

So my problem is I can not find a variable or signal that tells me in what mode the machine is.
Can somebody help me with that?

Ah, yes that is normal. Those spaces get filled dynamically during run time.
You have to keep in mind that a complex GUI like Gmoccapy has a lot of python code in the background that  interacts with the glade panels.
[edit]
Which also means that quick changes to the glade panels can easily lead to errors from the python code because it may be missing glade objects.

 There are not all pages, there is only 1 page and it looks like the following. Do you think this is normal?
