Hey (Time for my daily question),
I've switched my 7i96S with a 7i95T. (working with Pi 5 8GB / LinuxCNC 2.9.4)
After working with the Mesact i don't really understand how to implement the limit switches in my hal file.
Hardware sides everything is fine. The Switches are lighting up like they were when using the 7i96S.

It give me following Error: 

smapp progress but still not too perfect. 
But it's simply stepper motor only

I have submitted my graduation project, so I have some space again to work on my plasma design. What do you think of it so far?The idea is to print all the gray parts in carbon-reinforced nylon

 

It will not be good for latency. Just tested to ping the Mesa card on the local computer - 0.15 ms, pinged another computer over WiFi - 2-4 ms.
 

Interesting, that grouping of pdoentries into individual PDOs reminds me of the software I use. But it isn't uncommon I have understood.
Anyway, the ethercat server writes diagnostic messages you can view with the "dmesg" command. Maybe you found something there?

Hello, is there any progress to be made in solving the problem? I think it is very risky (especially on a lathe) if the spindle can start unexpectedly, but it can also cause problems on milling machines with tool changers.

Hello David
No further in removing the springs on my Maho 700C
After getting no progress in getting the hydraulic tool changer working I hung the spindle from a crane and connected the hydraulic lines in reverse. Almost straight away I noticed a hydraulic leak. Not yet fixed but likely the cause of my problem
I would never have seen the leak when the spindle housing was in place in the machine. A new o ring is required
thanks for your help
Cheers Chris

I build a cnc using linuxcnc ethercat, it seems work nice, but the feedrate is very high, in gmoccapy display 4500000mm and in fact the machine run very fast! what did i do wrong things?

It happens that ethercat drives have inputs and outputs one can use for general purposes.
At least my Ect60s have a few. Meant for internal homing I think, but can be used for anything.
Check the drive specs.

I suppose you mean with the Efinix software? If ya get bored and wanna point me in the right direction......
 

The 7i92 uses the Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, so you'll need Xilinx ISE.
14.7 is here: www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.ht...ols/archive-ise.html
Install tips here: gist.github.com/aliemo/ce58ea570ee6ffa6d...k_comment_id=5040735
And a fair tutorial is here: tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/emc/xilinx...14_install_index.php

Only have experience with the Xilinx Tools for the Spartan chips.

Using efinix software is not something I've had to do, but I think it has been mentioned on the forum.

Totally feel you on the gamepad struggle—those missing keys can be a real pain! Remapping can be a lifesaver, though. If you're using gmoccapy, you might wanna check out the keymap file in your config. You can assign other buttons to act like Page Up/Down.
Also, some folks swear by using software like JoyToKey or Xpadder to map your gamepad buttons to keyboard keys. It gives you way more flexibility! Just make sure your gamepad is recognized as a joystick in your system settings.
Hope that helps you get your Z-axis control back in action! Happy machining!

Sorry for the trouble guys. Absolutely. It makes a easy replacement if one has a machine already on parallel port as pins can be mapped. 
Need to connect spindle and its quadrature encoder on my existing parallel port machine with the 7i95 ID26 connector also. PWMgen is set at pin 1, spindle ccw at pin 5 and spindle cw at pin 4 of the BoB. Please guide.
