Just about the same for me as well. Except I don't know of anywhere else to run too.
the north = Canada, the south = Mexico maybe Cuba, East = U.K.,  West = Japan
All of which complain that no one wants to work anymore. I can't imagine why. LOL
From where I sit this has become a world wide problem and the powers who shouldn't
be are starting to worry because people aren't buying anymore. Every time they try to replace
the masses they end up being replaced by the masses.
My daily driver is a 20 year old Toyota Tundra.( my 87 is in the back yard )
Almost all of my computers are :Linux machines. Suck it Windows
I used to think I was a weird cynical pessimist always suspicious of people trying
to sell me something I didn't want or need. It's funny to think that I am apparently
just a normal person.

 

Hi.
If you found way to convert variable frequency ro 0-10v. ?

If not i can help you.

Had i known it would be such a big deal i would have posted hal parts for monitoring Yaskawa servo drives i did when retrofitting the Hurco, used all 4 of 7i77 analog inputs, drives had a 3.3V output for 100% and i think it was 5V max for 150%, worked like a charm, had sliders with changing colors depending on load so i could see from across the shop if any drive or spindle is overloaded. Unfortunately had to change the drives as one was DOA and another one failed during testing. Changed the drives to Argon and changed the config that is attached on the Hurco retrofit page here on the forum but has no feedback.

Thanks Rod.  I have that document already and have examined it thoroughly.   And, yes, there are several 3000:xx SDOs that are used, plus some 3100, etc.  Here is an ESI file for the XPR from off an Edge Connect control.  Hypertherm has an EtherCAT Studio that reads this and generates the ENI xml file for their EtherCAT Master to use.  Notice the datatype DT3000 lists all applicable SDO entries I need.  However, when I query the XPR with EtherLab's EtherCAT Master, I get something different.  The attached file 'XPR sdos (captured).txt' is what I get from the query and it tells a different story than the ESI file provided for the XPR, (stops at 3000:02).

I have tried using bits and pieces of Hypetherm's generated ENI file, (attached: ethercat-config-xpr.xml), but EtherLab's master chokes on most of it.

I don't have access to TwinCat or EtherCAT Configurator from Beckhoff at this time but have sent a request to our Sales Rep to order the Configurator.  Apparently, he has to refer me to a "special group" at Beckhoff corporate.  I figure that may be my next best step on generating an ENI file with components I can use.

I'm afraid I'm going to run out of time to mess with the XPR before I get the Configurator and we have to ship out the XPR.

Have you, (or anyone), seen a similar situation where an ESI file is different than what you get by interrogating a device?

     Hello, i will receive next week a Mori Seiki MV-40B (year 1989) with fanuc servo motors and drives and i want to keep old fanuc servo motors and spindle motor. In your opinion is better to reuse old servo drives or change with ethercat new models? (i dont know if will be problems with fanuc encoders)
I have already, touchscreen, linuxcnc pc, mesa board7i96s and 7i85 . 
Any advice is very apprecieted. By the way, very nice project you made 

The biggest issue is that Linuxcnc will require building from source as the RPi5 images don’t have Linuxcnc packages built from the most recent code base. Editing config.txt to turn on spi is a trivial matter.

Give me a day or 2 and I’ll generate an image with the most recent Linuxcnc & Mesaflash.

Bilige maus = schlechte kabel

Thanks Aciera

The 7C80 will work with the RPI5 using the hm2_spix driver.

Note that some 7C80s were shipped with firmware that does
not work with the RPI5. These cards can be re-programmed
on a RPI4 if that's convenient. All the distributed bitfiles are OK.
 

So true about them being counterfeit!!!

I don't think anyone sells genuine leadshine drivers!

I have only ever seen counterfeits.

I don't know how Leadshine stays in business.

Hello everyone!
shasse You Are The Best ! Good Job !

   

I am currently designing an advanced capacitive sensor.
I'm developing it for my own needs (for my controllers), but I've received numerous inquiries from people using Linux CNC about whether it could be applied there.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with LinuxCNC, but I don't think there should be any problem in using it for this purpose.
I'm at a stage where I can still make changes and improvements if needed.Initial tests have been outstanding, with a response time of less than 2ms.
The 0-10V output signal can be proportional to the calibrated capacitance or directly related to the measured distance (e.g., 0-10mm or 0-5mm).

   
Can be use like standard THC for PLASMA  
If anyone here is knowledgeable about this and would like to use it with LinuxCNC, I'd be happy to collaborate (Beta Tester).

The condition for collaboration is an open thread on a forum with honest opinions, including updates on progress (or failures and setbacks).
I am open to criticism.

Okay friends update.

Since all my drivers are all wired into the machine i built a little test rig with a spare stepper and micro controller to ensure all drivers weren't cooked and dip switches are correctly set.

I was able to verify that all the impostor tb6600 drives work once i changed their dip switches. The steps/rev in my code and what i'd expect from the dip switches being set doesn't line up but they all perform like i'd expect so I put them back into the machine.

However i wasn't able to get my C axis driver to spin the test motor. I am writing this off as its a closed loop motor driver trying to move an open loop stepper ( not sure this is the correct perspective) but i will solve it later.

X and Z now jog!!! I am waiting on some hardware to swap out because there's alot of rattling so i plan on  replacing the mounting bolts and shaft collars.

I cant seem to find any of the limit switches in Halshow so i am not able to get Y moving. I set the up as min limit +home and have min-home x/y/z in the scope to be shown but i do not get any state change when i press the switch down. I have them currently wired 24V+ - > NC - > C - > mesa input. Any ideas there? I've seen people wire 24V to the common input on the mesa? 

I think it's actually the gcode example that is 'inverted' as it really creates a negative of a chess pawn.

Do I need to change something in the pawn example G code so the base of the pawn is facing to the left rather than the right ?
