Also of note the units in the RTL File are um so .001mm. Pass 1 is -5 to -170 and Pass 2 is -170 to -5.

The .zip is a zipped .xls file.

 
 

I'm trying to axis comp a machine with a Renishaw ML10 Interferometer. Unfortunately no matter what comp type or file formatting I can come up with I cannot get the system to take effect. The machine is repeating +/- .001mm on every step of the run.

I've been working on this for days and had no luck. I also can't get any feedback from HALSHOW that mentions it in effect or a component related to compensation. My understanding this a rolling backlash table to linuxcnc, hower the values never change. The man pages are extremely sparse, but strait forward. Name a file, stuff it with (Target)  (POS Move) (Neg Move) and select a type 0 or 1.

Please help! I offer cookies of all types.

Umm what you mean ?

I am trying to learn how to set this up, so please do not take my comments as "expertise".

Have you checked the MUX2 select pin to see if it is switching when you  start the orient routine?
I would think that you should start with the same pid  parameters  that are used in the "Spindle PID Parameter" int the Orientation section, then work from there.

Despite reading almost every post on this forum, i have no idea what that means.

Again, does the machine move at G0 speeds or just the gcode preview on LinuxCNC screen?

Hi Scotta!

This is the error we get:

"command (EMC_JOG_CONT) cannot be executed until the machine is out of E-stop and turned on"

but when we disconnect the E-stop it recognizes that it is connected, we also sometimes get the Joint X following error.

Can you post your hal and ini files?
 

Hello everyone,
I am also trying to connect the Mesa7i96s card to a Y620-A VFD.
I connected the pins as mentioned in the post above
22 - SPINDLE- to COM
23 - SPINDLE OUT to AI1
24 - SPINDLE+ to +10 V
S1 --> OUT4A
OUT4B --> COM
S2 --> OUT5A
OUT5B --> COM
The M3, M4 and M5 commands work, but I can't control the speed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Milko

Great to hear you are making progress.

No need for the SPI_clk_div=32 in the loadrt command line, that is for the RPi4/3.

What fault / error is generated when the machine stops? I've still got the Octopus and RPi setup on the bench, will look to try your config again over the weekend.

Today, after updates, i am not able to start any flexgui ui .  Error: No module named 'psutil'

Wasn't exactly sure where to put this question. But this is like the third time it happened to me. Upon the initial startup I'll home out the axis, go to MEM, select a g-code file, then I hit start. And it'll race through the g code like the entire program was full of G0 commands. If I had a part in the machine it would have crashed.  It's like it ignored every G1 command. Once the cycle is done, If I hit start cycle again, it'll go through like it's supposed to. The strange part is, it does not do it every time. Is this a configuration issue or a G-Code issue or a Linux issue? 

It's also known as chip breaking in mill G-Code. G83 and G73
The cycle sets final depth (X), retract position (R), peck depth (Q), and feed rate (F) normally used for drilling process. It's also handy for breaking stainless steel instead of getting birds nests or for live lathe tooling. Since my setup utilizes a grinder, without a pecking cycle it can stall the grinder out.
Right now I have to program a "peck" cycle manually. An example of this is:
G1 X2.02 F1
G0 X2.01
G1 X2.03 F1
G0 X2.02
G1 X2.04 F1
G0 X2.03

I have a simmilar 15k rpm Kessler spindle on a DMC 100 V.

I have attached the datasheet pictures.
