Lathe sub spindle m codes was created by Jdolecki

Lathe sub spindle m codes

Category: Turning

On a lathe the m codes for a Main spindle are m3,m4 and m5. Fwd,rev,stop

if I had a second sub spindle what are the m codes for those?

thanks john

Could be. Looks like it could be a self built kernel, there are a couple of options relating to the real time kernel built.

Be interesting to know the origin of the installation. To get the hm2_spix driver I think you still need to build from source as the Rpi packages seem to have a July changelog.

Is it possible that this is a kernel issue?

Hello Paul,

Also have a MH600W, although mine is a bit older with the 432/10.

Did you try manually updating your version of mesaflash by downloading and compiling directly from the github repository? Instructions are directly in the readme.MD

sorry guys,

I'm not sure what i'm doing at the moment. Feel like a lost sheep.

Anyway.

When i get in, this is what i see, note the plank page where there should be a drawing.

I can't get the estop to unload to engage power.

Where should I start from? wipe everything and try reloading it all again?

I had issues with my RPi5 using SPI channel 0, dunno why, switching to SPI channel 1 resolved the issue. Not sure how you would resolve this without cobbling together a custom cable between the Pi and the 7c80.

you would have to use

loadrt hm2_spix spi_probe=2 config="insert your required config"

This is with my cobbled together 7c81 clone running hostmot2 firmware to suit the Spartan dev board.

Hello,

I've got a home built router running a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Mesa 7196s via Ethernet. Running AXIS. Works fine.
Interested in trying the Rpi5 - loaded the image off the download page and the board can communicate with the Mesa board, but PnCConf keeps giving errors when I try to go past the first axis page - a long dump mentioning a problem with the locale.
Any suggestions? This is an 8GB RPi5 I just got from Digi-Key.

7i96S MPG input

Category: Basic Configuration

PCW wrote:
Standard 7I96S firmware has 4 built in MPG quadrature counters
overlaid on the first 8 isolated inputs. This means you do not need
to decode individual inputs (which is important since they are typically
only read at the 1 KHz servo thread rate)

The MPG counters have names like:

hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.enc0-count
hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.enc1-count
hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.enc2-count
hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.enc3-count

I'm trying to find these 4 overlaid quadrature encounters,
I have a glass scale connected up to inputs 0,1

I don't see them in HALshow. (I do see .encoder.00 however it does not seem to be linked to input 0,1), I think that's probably the spindle data.
How would I go about:
1) just viewing and scaling the quadrature data?
2) displaying the scaled value in axis?

[SOLVED] ProbeBasic NameError: name 'tool' is not defined was created by RogEnk

[SOLVED] ProbeBasic NameError: name 'tool' is not defined

Category: QtPyVCP

Hi all.
Happy New Year!
Fresh install of LinuxCNC 2.9.3 (full image downloaded from wiki link) and freshly installed QtPyVCP and getting the NameError even after patching as per: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3176/files
I have attached edited file and the qtypyvcp.log with .txt extensions.

System loads OK, homes and jogs, but as soon as I do a tool change for probing etc it throws that error.
I have also tried purge and reinstall of QtPyVCP, a reinstall of LinuxCNC as per kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/index.html (that was a frustrating exercise, arrow keys in Putty were borked and weird permissions plus my user could not shutdown the system! So I opted for an official build).
EDIT: Should have mentioned this is the lathe config!
EDIT 2: Same behavior in the sim, log file for that now attached.
Any help much appreciated.

I have a pi4b with dead video out, connected and it's able to see the card. so we still have a config /driver issue with the pi5

I'm going to assume model boat building, other wise I'd imagine you would have researched the larger machines required for human scale boats. If all you want to do is profile cuts, eg bulkheads and the like and you aren't using timber over 3mm or so I would suggest a 10w - 20w laser cutter might be the better choice. No need for Linuxcnc as the supplied controllers do a fine job, I have one myself. Far easier to deal with the "fumes" from a laser cutter than the sawdust you would get with a router.....and far gentler on the thinner timber components as the cutting forces are reduced to practically zero on the material being cut.
At a recent exhibition of local model boat builders I met a Hungarian gentleman who did some amazing work with a hand held rotary tool, timber was carved so thin as to be almost see thru. When asked whether he be human or magician, he puffed out his chest and proudly stated "I am Hungarian".
Tho I would suggest a honeycomb type bed and air assist to reduce scorching and a build up of residue in the cut.
