The more I think about this, It could very well be the PWM conversion onboard the EC500 is just to slow. It may not be able to keep up with the CSS speed adjustments. Any idea how to set the EC500 to output PWM instead and I'll hook up a PWM to Analog conversion board to test it. I know in the documentation you can switch it using Mach3 software.

Reading Work Coordinates When Loading a New NGC File  

When loading a new `.ngc` file in LinuxCNC, is it possible to read the work coordinates at that stage? Since the G-code has not been executed yet, the work coordinates might not be applied.  

Would it be possible to create a custom button, similar to "WCS Sync," that reads the `.ngc` file and sends commands like `G55` to MDI?  

Has anyone implemented something similar, or does LinuxCNC provide a built-in way to achieve this? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I had been using it without much thought, but it seems better to remove G43H0 G54.
The tool length offset is unintentionally canceled, and the work coordinate system switches."

Postgui file looks fine.

You can remove this block from the gm.hal:

It is not connected to anything but it will remove the popup in the right hand corner when starting linuxcnc. You don't need it anymore because you use the gmoccapy tool change dialog.

Check your ini config file if it includes this line under [HAL], if not add it:

I recommend you keep all original brusheless motors, but perhaps you don't care about preserving old motors enough to spend the time.

Try to sell them, they may be worth more than their scrap value.

(Not sure what scarp metal prices are like where you are)

I'm assuming the closer you are to China (and Vietnam, Thailand, etc.), the higher the value of E-waste because the shipping to the reccling center in Asia is cheaper.

Hi Langdons,

I'd like to reuse them, but I haven't been able to find any successful examples of this online so far.

I can find Delta drives in the right voltage and they sell all their encoders as spare parts. I guess it's a matter of deciphering the spare part codes to match the right drives and figuring out how to adapt them. There is space to mount on the back of the motors where the Heidenhain encoders are.

Anyone done this?

I'm currently using PNCconf to set up my 7i96S board. So far, everything works fine when using stepgen for motor control. However, I'm running into an issue when switching to encoder-based feedback in a closed-loop setup. Specifically, whenever I try to home the joint using the encoder, I encounter a following error (the traveled distance until Error increases when i enlarge the "FERROR"). The stepgen setup homes without any problems, so it seems the issue is related to the encoder configuration. I'll upload my config in case anyone wants to take a look. I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions!

MAX_VELOCITY on both.
