It won't take nearly as long as you think with modern ai tools

Go to chat gpt or any other ai

Give it your post, gcode, and explain what is not working and how tofix it. About 33% of the time it will right out the gate. 33% needs tweaking but points you in the right direction, the other third it's way off. In either case where it doesn't solve it. Ask it to explain how things work, etc

Be the 5 year old who asks the parent why, why, why, how do you do that, what does this mean, etc. you can learn a crazy amount these days in almost no time.

 

Yes, just make a new configuration for Probe Basic and leave your old one untouched.

Estop should kill power to dangerous things
This means things that cut and things that move
The ideal setup is estop kills the servo drive motor power input, and spindle power input.
Most servo drives have two power inputs: control power, and motor power
Do NOT switch the power out of a servo drive (wires between servo drive and servo motor)

Better not to kill power to control

Estop circuit should signal to Linuxcnc that estop has occurred.

Most servo drives will have a digital input that can be configured as estop/fault
When triggered the drive will actively stop the motor. This can be faster to stop than removing input power to the servo drive. There are big capacitors in the drive, so killing input power does not stop output instantly.

So mine will be setup with estop resulting in a digital signal into each servo drive AND cutting the power (using a contactor) input to the servo drive motor power inputs.
Servo drive control power stays on.

The "relays" are actually contractors
Pretty much the same.thing but designed for higher currents. Correct term may help you if need to search in the future

Ok will im all gutted an onto the reinstall. I figured id start the big red physical estop button and connecting it to one of the two relays that are available. Should I make it so the estop just kills all power to the control board(the 7i96s) or what should the the professional way of configuring the estop? I didn't pay attention to what all it shut off before I tore it apart. I do know that the motor drives stayed on even with the estop engaged originally though.

My best guess is configure it to kill the control board and kill the spindle power

sorry for later reply.

I am totally new about ARM.

I think this is what you really need. github.com/Douglas-d/MYD-AM6254/blob/master/my6254.img.gz
If it's not, I will check again.

Thank u sincerely!!!

What have you changed and what does the ping test show now?

Here’s a link to an iso that needs testing that attempts to solve that issue
What did you change? Do you want to submit a pull request to: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc-live-build ?

Yep did that, my GitHub name is different to my user name on here. Got am email saying that it had all been accepted.

I forked the official live build repo, made a change to the kernel command line in grub and made a change in to fix the lower panel.
Didn't touch any repos or anything like that.

Hi,andy,I'm totally new to linuxcnc and postfile,so without some learning ,I guess that I 'm not able to edit the post file right now. By now,the fusion360 existed post file in the lib is not very fitable for my machine's configuration.So,I'm looking for if there was a post file perfectly matched or almost matched,if there was not ,I've to learn it and modify it by myself,which will take a lot of time .

Thanks a lot,I'll try your recommended nakamuura mill turn post and learn from your youtube link to edit post file necessarily

Moving this discussion to where it belongs, some requirements mentioned there.

Had not time to test, but before this goes into the official waters:
-can not contain non official repositories
-must be set to update/upgrade from the main servers, not from local ones
- ... that is it or i am to depraved of sleep, 3:23AM here!

That is a line filter and i would leave it for sure.
Wiring everything mains powered through it is also a good idea, if the total current draw is under the rated 10A.

How’s it going, I had a couple quick questions was hoping someone could help understand?  So I just went ahead and halfway completely gutted the cabinet on my older Syil X4 machine because I’m jealous of everyone else having nicer machines than mine and wanted to perform a couple upgrades.  The goal is to replace the factory spindle drive and the main control board.  Anyways I came across a component that was connected to the power supply of old spindle drive and was wondering if its necessary to keep it installed or can I completely remove it?  What is this thing? 
 Also, I noticed there were two of these relays.  One turns on when I first flip the main power switch on the machine then the second one flips on once you boot the laptop or connect the parallel port cable with the laptop on.  Is it necessary to have two of these still or can I just run one only? 
 And a last question, is there a smaller transformer I can get to run all the axis drives?  This one seems kind of bulky and runs the 3 axis’s X,Y,and Z.  It has outputs for 40v(The drivers use) and 24V(The controller board uses).  Is there a smaller one I can get for it that’s compatible with 220v single phase? 
 And a picture of all the stuff I’ve pulled out so far for replacing. 
 Anyhow thanks
