It's the admittance module update rate that will update new position cmd
I'm wrong, admittance update rate is 10ms not 100ms.

Found a mistake.
Now connected correctly 19 21 23 25 pin (47 48 49 50).
When the LCNC not running, all LEDs are OFF on the relay module.
When the LCNC is running, all LEDs are ON on the relay module. (relays turns on)
Changing bit not turns off the relay and LEDs.
Can it be solved somehow?

Hello.
I bought a 5v relay module.
The current draw on it's input is ~5mA. (negative HIGH - turns on the relay)
I 'd like to operate them with the P1 port.
How can I do it correctly?
Because now i have no positive result.
The firmware with axes indexes on P1 (1-5 pin) LCNC 2.9.4. The wires has 47 Om resistors in series.

But if I am going to measure it, I'd set the step scale to something like 1,000 then command a move that is some fairly large even number that still fits in your machine's range of movement.  So if your machine is capable of moving from 0 to 500 with the scale set to 1000, then you'd know that the machine took 500,000 steps to make that move.  Then simply measure the length of that 500k step move.  If that move length were say 20" then divide 500,000/20 to get a scale of 25000 steps/inch.  Generally the longer the move you can make and measure, the more accurate your calculation will be.

I often prefer to calculate what the step ratios "should" be from screw leads, pinion ratios, encoder counts, and steps/revolution. Rather than relying on how well I can read a tape measure to get the distance moved per step. Do you know the mechanical measurements of the components of your drive system and your motor's step count/rev? .

Thanks for the tips! 

I applied it to my setup and realized that the net pdnt.spindle.is-on whb.halui.spindle.is-on spindle.0.on"
"net pdnt.spindle.is-on => hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-11" 

In my Hal file. Everything is working now. Thanks!

Ended up using the EV1616DN for 'slow' signals such as limits and lights. Used a PCIe parallel port card and Mach3 breakout board for the steppers. Stepconfig used for the mach3 card config (with modifications for homing) and hand coded the hal file. Works pretty well and now I have plenty of I/O for further development.

And even if it doesn't go anywhere this time governments will continue to try again. It's how the American
Government has gotten away with mandating kill switches into all new road vehicle
(2026 forward if I remember correctly). There is another bill that is suppose to repeal it (H.R. 1137) but 
I don't know if it passed or not. Given all the other crap that has gone on I wouldn't be surprised if it
got lost in the noise. 
 

Something that happens every 100 ms it seems like.
You can see a small change or step in joint_vel and the servos are responding to that. At least where the main spikes are.
So what are you doing every 100 ms?

Thank you guys!

I don't know why but now it's working. I have not made any changes in the configuration, just re-starting the wizzard and toggeling the modes several times. Strange. 

Really nice GUI!

i'm using servos, i don't think it comes from the motor side because jogging from LinuxCNC is still smooth. Just look at the figures i attached, the input velocity before the simple_tp module is still smooth but the output velocity from this module is not.
 

Sometimes you might need to use a timedelay on the spindle.0.on to ensure the air circuit gets up to pressure before the spindle actually spins.

I can't help but wonder if a pneumatic presssure switch would not be a better safety feature. They are not expensive. Tie it into estop or motion.inhibit somehow. 

Slow your velocities down and see.
I think the sign is the opposite of LATCH_VELOCITY

One of my machines:

MIN_LIMIT = -106
MAX_LIMIT = 0.01
HOME                    = 0
HOME_OFFSET                = 1
HOME_SEQUENCE            = 0
HOME_SEARCH_VEL            = 5
HOME_LATCH_VEL            = -2
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS    = yes
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO

Are you using steppers or servos?
It's possible you are observing  low speed stepper harmonics. If that's the case, the solution would be to alter the motor gearing to avoid low motor speeds in the harmonics range.
