That report lists 4 PPMC boards at "slots" 0, 1, 2 and 3. That is pretty odd. Are you sure this machine has a PWM controller? Are you sure the parallel port is set up correctly? Did the CMOS battery go dead? If so, the BIOS settings for the parallel port would have gotten lost. Make sure the BIOS peripheral settings for the parallel port are set to EPP mode.
Those are the first things that come to mind.
Report back if these hints don't fix it.

LatheEasyStep – experimental QtVCP macro for step-by-step lathe programming

Category: Qtvcp

Hi,
this looks really cool, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely be testing it once my lathe is ready.

I really like the idea of solid onboard solutions. If this works well, you could do around 90% of lathe parts without external CAM, which would be a real improvement.

It reminds me a bit of Native CAM. Do you know it?
If so, I’d be interested in what made you decide to develop a completely new macro. From my point of view, Native CAM on the turning side is mainly missing proper G71 support and a polyline tool (which already exists in Native CAM Mill).

This is not meant as criticism, I generally find new developments very exciting. I’m not a programmer myself and can’t really judge the effort involved, which is why I’m asking.

Either way, very promising project. Looking forward to seeing how it develops

greetings
Tom

Probe_Basic ToolTouchOff

Category: QtPyVCP

Sorry to bring the topic up, im trying to figure out what is wrong with my Probing in PROBE BASIC.

The Carousel, tool changing, homing, spindle S line, everything is good. Im running Ethercat XYY and Mesa Z and Carousel simultaneously. All good.
The problem is in the Tool Touch Off Macro, and defining my part coordinates.

- When i touch off my tools, the tool lenght which gets written on the table is very weird - not consistent with the tools im measuring.

- My probe is not on the part itself, but on a specific place on the table. So, after 'zeroing' the tools, i should also zero the part.

As the tool touch off macro is giving inconsistent values, currently I am placing the tool at almost touching the part, and hitting "Zero Z", and changing every tool with MDI codes M6 T(Tn) G43 H(Tn). Placing the tool at the top of the stock surface and hitting "zero Z" is the correct procedure , if im measuring the tools correctly?

Any ideas as to why are tool lengths being inconsistent?

My Spindle nose doesn't reach the probe - due to machine mechanical limitations. I can only touch it if i have a cone + tool. is this OK?

I think you know this already, but you have the output of "sudo dmesg" with the last lines being relevant.

In this case, do the following commands work "ethercat -p 0 upload 0x2701 2" and "ethercat -p 0 download 0x2701 2 1"?
You are aware that bytes in sdoDataRaw are LSBF so your number "00 00 00 40" is 67108864?

Please start linuxcnc from the command line and check the output there.
You will see there the error that does stop your panel to be embedded.

The ENA, ALM and BRK can be left unconnected

I have a similar setup I'm building. If I wanted to use the ENA and ALM as well as STEP/DIR, which position should the S3 switch be in 5V or 24V? I know the 7i96S provides 5V power for STEP/DIR but my field power is 24V. Can I do this or would I need to provide a separate 5V power source for my ENA/ALM signals?

Category: Driver Boards

Is the "unplug and plug" thing correct, meaning is it the same pinout for SSerial on 7i96S and 7i85?
Sorry if i messed that up, i never used a 7i85, yet, it was just an educated guess from experience with Mesa boards and very consistent pinout.

Pico Universal PWM Won't boot Random pins not working

Category: Driver Boards

So I have not used my RB1-CNC machine for a while. I tried starting it up today and I am getting errors on load that have to do with not being able to find pins on the Pico Systems Universal PWM board. Sometimes it won't find the board at all other times it won't find an generic IO pin other times it won't find an encoder pin.

This was working then I had to reconfigure from 2.7 to 2.8 and got it working again and now after setting for around a year I can't get it to load into linuxcnc unless I comment out of the hal files that tie to the pins on the UPWM board.

Here is one of the error outputs.
