Mesaflash is not able to find 5i25

Category: Driver Boards

Memory at d1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K]

is suspicious, Sometimes this is BIOS option related.

Mesaflash is not able to find 5i25

Category: Driver Boards

Not entirely sure if this is the correct category of the forum for this question, but here goes:I've just done a completely fresh install of LinuxCNC and I'm running into a few issues — some related to EtherCAT, but also with
mesaflash
.I'm trying to use
mesaflash
with a 5i25 board. I installed it and ran the following command:
sudo mesaflash --device 5I25 --readhmid
But I get this error:
pci_boards_init can't open /dev/mem: Operation not permitted
No 5I25 board found
The 5i25 itself isn't broken — I’ve tested it on another PC and it works fine.When I run
lspci -v
, I can see the board:
02:00.0 DPIO module: Device 2718:5125 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Device 2718:5125
        Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 255
        Memory at d1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K]
It feels like something went wrong during the software installation. Has anyone seen this before or know what might be wrong?

As Tommy said, it's difficult to say without seeing all of your settings and such.  The sputtering is likely a connection issue of some sort, but the dive looked to me like there's something set incorrectly.  Looked like a move to cut height that was in the part rather than above the part.

Spindle speed?

Category: Basic Configuration

Alright. I went from:

P = 2
I = 2
D =0
FF0 = 1
FF1 = 0
FF2 = 0
BIAS = 0
DEADBAND = 1
MAX_OUTPUT = 3000
ENCODER_SCALE = 4096

to

P = 0
I = 0
D = 0
FF0 = 1.0
FF1 = 0
FF2 = 0
BIAS = 0
DEADBAND = 1
MAX_OUTPUT = 3000
ENCODER_SCALE 4096

By just changing the ini I now have same forward and reverse spindle control.
However two things are different. The speed is a fraction of what is being commanded, S300, it's closer to S25 and it doesn't show a scale on the GUI in reverse, a minor issue I can address later.

I'm not sure what to # and where to add:

"PID command = signed commanded spindle speed in RPM
PID feedback = encoder RPM
PID output --> ABS --> analog out
ABS sign (of PID output) determines the FWD/REV pins"

This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Spindle speed?

Category: Basic Configuration

I'm going to go ahead and try this. I'll let you know what it does.
The one thing I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is even with analog control, I have speed control forward. The GUI bar turns green and moves goes up and down with the override buttons, just not in reverse. In reverse goes to a set number, a number I cannot find and stays put regardless of what's pressed. However, if I reverse the forward and reverse signals to the VFD I have the same forward control as before, now in reverse. I don't see why the same forward and reverse control shouldn't be possible,

If it's necessary to convert this to PWM to gain the same forward control as reverse, so be it, this Mitsubishi VFD is capable.
I'll cross that bridge when I reach it.
I need to gain a better understanding of Linuxcnc spindle control.
I appreciate your help.

Change pierce delay to something much smaller, like 0.2 for up to 5mm thick, 0 for up to 2mm and 0.5 for 5-10mm, etc.
Also show us other settings and the main screen while cutting.

It*s the usual things with isolcpus, coalesce waiting and so on. 

I don't think you can get rid of the jitter sound completely.
The underlying reason is that the position data sometimes misses to update the drives every DC cycle.
Let's not dive into why because we can't fix that here and now, instead see what you can do about it.
Reduce jitter is the start.
Can anything be done with the drive parameters? The drive will see a steadily changing position, every dc cycle a new delta - that's normal. Then suddenly there is a dc cycle without updated position - the drive see this as a full stop and starts doing the electric things to stop the servo. A few dc cycles later the position delta is restored but that means double delta in a dc cycle. The servo drive put the pedal to the floor to increase the speed. So that's what happens. Are there any settings in the drive to handle this essentially very high acceleration? Maybe max acceleration? Match that with the setting in linuxcnc (25% higher is a guideline there). That will reduce the speed change and the jitter noise.

There is a test you can do to see if this mechanism is the problem. Add a ddt component, connect position feedback from one of the servo drives to ddt.in and plot ddt.out in halscope. At a constant travel speed this should be a straight line more or less. When jitter happens you will see the ddt.out making a jump to zero or double value. It's a way to verify but unfortunately not to solve.

Glasmaßstab EIA-422 an Mesa 7i85 (S)

Hallo zusammen,

erinnert durch dieses Thread hier, dass ich meine Glasmaßstäbe noch nicht zu 100% am Laufen habe,
hänge ich mich mal hier dran.

Ich habe die Ditron DC11 an meiner Drehmaschine verbaut, diese funktionieren soweit auch,
allerdings bekomme ich kein Indexsignal, also muss ich mit Referenzschaltern arbeiten, was
wieder zu Ungenauigkeiten führt. Das würde ich gerne noch ändern und hoffe, dass ihr mir dabei helfen könnt.

Hier ist die Pinbelegung welche ich an der 7i85 (ohne S) benutzt habe:
 
 

und hier die HAL und INI:

yes the sound is similar to what you describe and is more of random burst

I use mode 0.
I connected the divided arc voltage to the thcad and now the machine moves when it cuts, but it also goes on and of very often. You can see it here:



Could it also be a grounding-problem as the part is very small and I attached the ground clamp to the aluminium box where a steel grid is inside.

And why does it dive down in the middle of the part ? It seems to stop when the float switch is activated.

SolidCam error in output gcode for thread milling.

Category: Post Processors

I have found the problem to the error
It should be like this:
N44 G90
M99
not like this:
N44 G90 M99
It does not like to be on the same line

Can you describe the jitter, I suppose you hear clicks or gravel noise from the servos?
Is it always like a steady stream of those noises or are the bursts every few minutes?
Please elaborate.
