First of all, thank you so much for your effort and for sharing your files—without them I never would have gotten mine working.
I learned the hard way that it’s not practical to have one machine serve as both a router and a plasma cutter, so I developed a very affordable “plasma router” that works perfectly, and now I keep the two machines separate.
I’m leaving a video so you can see it running in case it helps, and a link where you can download the 3D model and wiring diagrams. I’m sharing it as open-hardware to give back a little of the much that the community—and generous acts like yours—have given me.

 Hi..have an ac servo motor setup as 4th axis on wood lathe for position to carve....now i was hoping to use same motor for continuous run as lathe turning...Is this doable?...if so does it require any additional wiring/...I have a Mesa 7i96s  with ethernet..I normally would just try and figure out but I am very pressed for time on this one so any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!,

Rick

Moin,

in deinermaschine.ini
Also die ini heist so wie du deine Maschine konfiguriert hast.

I don't use the pendant anymore and rely on a touch screen and wireless keyboard because my machine is a dual-use plasma /router, and I couldn't get plasmac.comp to play nice with the pendant. But once I get the table put back together, I will revisit and see if the berry is worth the squeeze.

I found it at pncconf and unchecked "Require homing before MDI/Running". Now it works.
Thanks a lot!

Try setting the HOME_SEARCH_VEL and HOME_LATCH_VEL to 0

I did it at all Joints like this

[JOINT_0]
NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1

and restarted Linuxcnc but i still get the error not "homed"

You can temporarily disable homing by setting

NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1
 in all joint sections of the.ini file
 

At the moment i´m not able to do a homing in Linuxcnc. If i try a MDI command it says home all axes...

That looks OK

Does the spindle speed control work at all. that is,
does MDI command M3 S12000 give you about 12000 RPM
and ~5V output?

Hope these are the right files. Iḿ a newbie
 

Can you post your hal and ini files?

Your last test file works fine for me.

Sounds like you might not have things set up right in your ini file.
Do you have TOPLEVEL defined correctly in the [PYTHON] section (your path might be different):

Hello,I can't get my spindle with frequency converter YL-620A and Mesa7i76e to rotate. Homing is not working at the moment because the mechanical and electrical components have not yet been connected.
Pin 1 Spindle- to GND
Pin 2 Spindle out to VI1
Pin 3 Spindle+ to 10V
Pin 5 Spindle Ena- to XGND
Pin 6 Spindle Ena+ to FWD
Pin 7 Spindle Dir- to XGND
Pin 8 Spindle Dir+ to REV
In Linuxcnc, I can press the forward, reverse, and stop buttons, and this is also displayed correctly on the frequency converter. When I press the forward button, I measure a fluctuating voltage between approximately 0.65V and 0.9V between pin 2 and pin 1. There is 10V between pin 3 and pin 1. Without starting Linuxcnc, I measure 0V between pin 2 and pin 1. I have already increased the parameter P03.06 and decreased P03.07. Unfortunately, there has been no change.
