How did this work out? I also have a 7i76e and are sick on my USB-RS485 converter that resets itself sometimes in the middle of a program... Might be interference from my HY VFD. Want something more robust.

pktUART bin file is not available from MESA. Do not really know if this is the way to go or if there are something simpler?

Send the man a beer!
Damn, he got some pull and he is not afraid of using it, good for him....and for us

Nice work on re-homing a good piece of vintage hardware.

on a different note
this just came across my youtube notifications.

Just for information. How and where should we report issues and questions?

Is this thread the right one (or one of the older/other ones)?

I understand all pins and parameters with one exception. Can you give me a short overview about hal_blend_speed? I dont get curvature vs. gcode... First of all I dont know the meaning of the word curvature (ouch)

Rant:
A few days back i got delivery of a 215.90 Euro PC case with nothing in it, the ThermalTake Core P3 PRO, 6 hours of mounting PC parts inside including an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420mm radiator and a Radeon RX 6800 XT, looks astonishing, like a monument, later went out to have a coffee with a friend and told him about the case price, all hell broke loose as he could not comprehend why would i pay all that money for a case/box, until i told him that the parts in that case cost in total nearly 3000 Euro back when i got them! He stopped.
Point being, some people lack perspective, and i do not blame them for that, they just need a nudge to get things, but some do not as their own ignorance gets in the way, and hubris, and ego, and ....
BTW, not my PC anymore, it goes to a new home in 2 days
End rant.

Hi Guy's,

@Tommy @juliankoenig87
Thank you all for kind words.

I think the scurve planner also works on plasmac now, As Joco solved this.

I am very curious to the video off Lcvette. He has a nice machine to test it.

@dm17ry, Fixed the typo, thanks for reporting.

Wait, you can NOT set the machine with tandem axis with only one home switch on one side of the tandem axis.
It MUST have 2 switches, one for each side, this can do gantry squaring every time the machine is homed.
Or if you want to use a single switch, do not set a tandem axis, just set two Y axis outputs/stepgens in the wizard, but this can not do squaring the gantry.

Can we just hold on a minute and realise what Grotius did! What an amazing, not to say limit breaking, work he did. Well, well done Grotius!

At the risk of repeating myself:
Grotius is like a heat seeking missile, he locks on to something and does not stop!
Thank you Grotius.

Ohhhh sorry! I am just overwhelmed.

I want to thank all you other guys who helped with this also! Well done. Great community!

Wow! What can I say.
Today I "install" it. Thanks to your good work it was a piece of cake (and I am a linux noob btw.).

Tested the given sim machine and everything worked out well. Cant wait to test it on real machines.

Thank you for your work for the community.

If you use pncconf to create your configuration, there a check box by the inputs
to invert them.

okay further update.

I got the estop signals to show up on Halshow. for anyone in the future having a similar issue. I needed to connect the ground from the power supply to the TB3 pin 12 (int common). From there i went 24v+ --> NC on the switch --> Common the switch -- > to the mesa. I am using simple two lead limit switches.

My next questions is how to invert the pin in the hal so that the machine will power on and honest think the limit switches are always being pressed.

I am also considering putting one more on the tandem second y motor so i can square the axis every time i home the machine. Does is this a good idea? seems like free real estate.

thanks again.

Thanks, this procedure seems to have fixed my install problem, now I need to figure out the xml part.

Ive was playing with this recently, I think it is this in [TRAJ], and the default one says its specific to jog,


 

Ok, so it would be reasonable to assume that if I moved the rtapi call from motmod/tpmod to somewhere else I should not expect weird side effects since this is all done through the fairly standard RTAPI API.
One other question I have is, why is there a limit on the # of threads created and the order they are created in? Is this again a convenience/limitation made to simplify things or more of a deliberate design trade-off?
