Hey, I'm working on a TC-215 conversion. Can someone tell me the pin out of the original connector (CNENC) from the tool changer encoder? Does it work on 24V DC?

Regards Tim

Me, every single day, all day long!!!

Kernel is changed from 6.10.nn to 6.13.nn.
LinuxCNC is still the same 2.10 version, there is no "2.13" version of it.
I have not updated the download yet, only i after i do over 10 successful installs.

The download still claims 2.10 rather than 2.13.

I agree with Rod, naming can and will cause issues as soon as more people start using this, so changing it sooner rather than later would be beneficial.
Also agree on calling it Grotius, for us who spend more time here on the forum it would obvious, and new user will have to learn whatever the name may become.

Not finished yet, but this is MINE!!!
That is until i finish it and someone insists on taking it from me, as usual!
Waiting for an AM5 mainboard and Ryzen 7 7700 (probably)

P.S.
I refuse to mount the water cooler on the existing Intel 14400, it does not deserve the "coolness".
So far it has:
RX6800 (non XT)
32GB of CL17/3600 RAM
Intel 512GB NVME
2 of 256GB SSD
Asus ROG THOR power supply with all 1200W of power.

Use the sim as a template

Had to change the RT kernel to 6.13 as when disabling BIOS stuff the 6.10 would fail to boot some 70% of the time.
This was on 2 laptops (Lenovo X1 Yoga and Yoga 370) and my main PC (14400 with RX6800).
So far tested on laptops only, will do more installs and if all is good, replace the ISO.
Stay tuned.
FYI:
6.10 works fine for Mesa boards, even with default BIOS settings, but will do 170000-280000 in latency, and that is on the limit of what i consider safe, disabling just Hyperthreading and ATM (or AMT?) would bring that down to safe numbers.
With everything in BIOS of Y370 disabled and CPU in powersave mode on batteries, i could get the latency under 100000 and testing with base period of 100000 would show no warnings for hours. Did not test with power attached.

Yeah, that's not a sine wave (more like a rectified sine wave)

Yeah you will probably get a sine wave when you measure it differentially.
This could be done with a differential probe, or you could power the encoder with a galvanic isolated power supply.
But that is not important now, I only wanted to check if there is a signal at all.

I think the low amplitude level is also ok. I have a Heidenhain rotary encoder and also some linear magnetic scales l worked with -- they all have a level much lower peak-peak value than 1V.


 

I thought I had to configure it the same way I did with the windmill. 


The simulator started correctly, but at this point, there was no way to proceed.

I still have nightmares with Probe Basic and Basic Probe !!!
Naming it QtMill and QtLathe would help a lot... Sorry LCVette, i know you asked us for a name and we came up with nothing.
We already have QtDragon and QtPlasmaC, those should fit nicely in the naming scheme.

there is no "probe basic lathe" just probe basic and a lathe ui. if you install probe basic you should be able to open the lathe sim, start there to verify the installation is correct first.

I wonder if the scurve planner could not be renamed to say "stpmod.so" or even "grotius-tp.so" in the build process?
The trajectory planner is loaded in the ini file settings so the name can be anything.
Changing the name would allow it to coexist in a version of linuxcnc that also includes the default tpmod.so. This would be desirable long term.

Also do try just the add on card with

Yes,
yes,
yes,
...
no!

ATX PSU is OK for testing and running the machine, but will limit the speed.
X220 is the "no" up there, had 2 of those, absolutely not usable for LinuxCNC, but since you have it, get the ISO, burn to USB, boot the X220 from it and do some latency tests as follows
latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000 --show
Also had 2 of X240 (still have one) both were/are fine for running LinuxCNC.
If the latency turns bad, i can upload an image i use on all my production laptops and PC's with Mint 19.3 and LinuxCNC 2.8.4, but this needs to be installed to be able to test it.
