ttk buttons have no height or width configuration options so in this instance the easiest way is to add newlines and spaces around the text.
Something like the below inserted immediately before the return should look reasonable.

Making more progress on water table. If I was to ever building something like this again I would build a stronger support frame to on the inside and underside of the table. I kindof skimped out there and it lead to lots of steel warping and bowing. I don't think it will matter much because I am going to build slat frames that can be leveled. Hopefully it's strong enough to hold all the water and up to 1.5 inch plate. Seems to be to me. 


  

It may be possible to work around this by using some hal trickery:

A scale component and mux component to change the scale from 1 to -1
when desired.

But I do not know what LinuxCNC motion component expects.
It seems odd that a negative spindle speed would not be acceptable
for g96 when m4 is in effect.
 

Not sure. what device are you interfacing?
Do you really have 7 input and 7 output registers with integer values?

I got past that problem moved on to the next.

Hey,

So new PC all setup and running Debian Bookworm and LinuxCNC 2.9.0.

Glitching and not showing anything in the display screen.

Juat did a check in Synaps and have the latest version.

Any ideas?

"If EtherCAT works well, wouldn't it make the pulse option look rather outdated ?"

basically yes. pulse and analogues went out of date in the mid 90s and everyone went separate ways with serial protocols. Pulse stuck around for hobby people but the dust has settled now and ethercat is the way forward for sure.

Whether it is your present depends on a lot of factors. Usually money

talking specifically about delta servos.

Having trouble with uploading the report file... trying again.

 

AttributeError: 'Info' object has no attribute 'MIN_SPINDLE_0_SPEED'. Did you mean: 'MIN_SPINDLE_SPEED'?

I've added instances of each setting in several places, so I don't understand.

I'm attaching my .ini and HAL file plus the error report. 

   
 

With this config for mb2hal i have a working system
And i have this config for mesa modbus.
Is that correct ?

That looks OK

Where things go bad with bare FPGA inputs is that say a VFD is running and an encoder wire connects
to frame ground accidentally, well unfortunately this frame ground has ~1 usec 1V negative high current
spikes  from the VFDs 350V square wave output and finite inductance of the frame ground to earth ground.
These spikes will easily short the input clamp diodes. ("Ground" is just a tapped inductor for high frequencies)

The encoder pin/parameter specifications are in the hostmot2 manual page:

man hostmot2

It may be that firmware that better matches your application can be made
(MPGs are better with MPG encoders rather than motion encoders because
MPG encoders support 1X mode which works better with MPGs having detents)

 

Forgot to say that the lcec.0.0.home-mode 34 should be changed to the home mode you want. 34 is just handy for testing without external switches connected (34 just returns to index).

After many hours of studying homing.c, cia402.comp, cia402_homecomp.comp and various forum posts, I finally found the last key to making LC10E drive homing work.  Here is my summary of all the changes needed to RodW's example custom homing configuration.  I can now click "Home All" in Axis and have it do a proper mode 6 home.  It still leaves all the axes with "H" in the preview window (rather than the round "survey marker" symbol), but MDI works and everything else seems to function normally.

Changes to get Lichuan LC10E homing working:

1. cia402.comp line 240

      change (statusword >> 10) to (statusword >> 12)

2. ethercat-conf.xml

      add to pdo 1600 section the lines:

           <pdoEntry idx="6098" subIdx="00" bitLen="8"  halPin="home-mode" halType="u32"/>
           <pdoEntry idx="6099" subIdx="01" bitLen="32" halPin="home-hi-speed" halType="u32"/>
           <pdoEntry idx="6099" subIdx="02" bitLen="32" halPin="home-lo-speed" halType="u32"/>
           <pdoEntry idx="609A" subIdx="00" bitLen="32" halPin="home-acc" halType="u32"/>
           <pdoEntry idx="2005" subIdx="24" bitLen="16" halPin="home-timeout" halType="u32"/>

3. cia402.hal

       after loadrt's add lines:

           setp lcec.0.0.home-mode 34
           setp lcec.0.0.home-hi-speed 50000
           setp lcec.0.0.home-lo-speed 50000
           setp lcec.0.0.home-acc 100000
           setp lcec.0.0.home-timeout 5000

      after # homing signals change nets x-home* to:

           net x-home-request joint.0.request-cia402-homing   cia402.0.home joint.0.index-enable
           net x-homing       joint.0.is-cia402-homing       cia402.0.stat-homing
           net x-homed       joint.0.cia402-homing-finished  cia402.0.stat-homed

4. cia402.ini

       in [joint_0] be sure:

           HOME_SEQUENCE = 0 (or whatever sequence number is appropriate)
           HOME_USE_INDEX = YES
           HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0
           HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 1 (or any non-zero value)

I hope this helps somebody else.

Thanks Guys,

Changed settings to reflect e-stop as a button and i'm able to select it now.

Still have a blank or other shadow in the box where you would normally see what you have loaded. Not sure why.

An now that everything has been double and triple checked, i can't form any connection to the motors.
