Thank you ,and I think the pure tkinter is too old-fasioned ,I 'd like to import some third part open-source lib such as CustomerTkinter, that looks better .

good morning Thommy,

here the printscreen from the latency histogram

 

Sure, Axis gui uses python and tkinter (and also tcl) while gmoccpy gui uses python and gtk and qtdragon uses python and qt.

dear PCW

On May 7, 2023, I started a thread about purchasing a suitable PC.
There was no final solution in the thread, but I had the impression that the PC mentioned in the thread at the time, which I installed in my CNC control cabinet today, could most likely be suitable for Linux CNC
forum.linuxcnc.org/42-deutsch/49043-neue...aesmaschine?start=10

At that time I even did the following test which was promising
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/38838-har...ts-used-pc-s?start=0

Based on the thread, I interpreted that I shouldn't use a new Lenovo ThinkCentre PC for LinuxCNC right away, but rather a slightly older one, which I took to heart and implemented.

I can only post the system section from back then here below. The PC that now runs LinuxCNC had in May 2023 Linux Mint 20.3 installed at the time.

Now having the idea that I don't have the right PC installed really reduces my enthusiasm.
Who can tell me which PC is suitable? I don't think anyone?

The question about power management is currently open in this thread on page 3, could you please tell me where in the BIOS power management (please see the 3 pictures) should I make settings in the BIOS?

I tried setting p3.012 to 0100 to use eeprom values, but it did not make any difference

Why when homing?

Not as such but Joint and Axis limits can be changed using hal pins available in the ini. section after the gui has started. Note that the motion controller will only become aware of the changed values after a queuebuster command (eg M66 E0 L0).

[edit]
This is useful to clip or extend axis limits using M commands but it can not be used if the limits have to be updated continuously. For example if you wanted to change limits depending on the position of an other axis you would need to execute a queuebuster command through a hal pin connected to an MDI_COMMAND  which can only be done if the controller can switch to MDI mode at the time the change occurs. So you would again need to implement a safeguard in hal which will stop machine movements to avoid a crash but may require complex hal manipulation to recover from in an operator friendly fashion.

Can you post the file /usr/bin/z_level_compensation?

That should be no Problem.
I will have to rename them in the HAL file then, right ?
Also is there a way to use RS485 on the 7i52S ?

Thanks in advance

Tank you for your remark.
I tried this before. The different is, that z_level_compensation.x-pos and so on gets the values from axis.x.pos-cmd . . .. These are the maschine coordinates for x, y, z. See the Component Pins in my initial Post.

But it does not change the error I get when ENABLE Z COMP:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/z_level_compensation", line 204, in <module>
comp.run()
File "/usr/bin/z_level_compensation", line 179, in run
compensation = self.compensate()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/bin/z_level_compensation", line 105, in compensate
compensation = int(zo / self.scale)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer

The z_level_compensation modul crashes and ist no longer loaded until I start LinuxCNC again.

I am using a simple milling mashine with parallel port and an old Computer. Is it possible, that the computer is to slow? I would expect a nother behave if so.

Hello, it will be possible to use the analog output port of the 7i96s card to control a single axis servo motor setup, the driver needs +/- 10volt plus 7i96s encoder.

Another question, could someone give me some information about these CMC drivers model c44-34509?



Thank you.

 Do you mean P3.012?
 

Files are up on my GitHub " Here " . Feel free to check out the project and make your own.

It looks like it was a stylesheet issue, I swapped to a different one and the problem disappeared. No idea how the initial one got messed up.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I ended up rebuilding my table over the past 3 weeks to fix a squaring issue

Yes, sorry old programmer issue all indices start at 0. So more correctly, 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, and 21-24

Are you suggesting the issue is II need to tie PSU ground to earth? Does earth no pass through the PSU?
