Customization of the icon for the LinuxCNC website

Category: Forum Questions

JT post=312188 userid=32471]
The guy that pays for hosting is not around but he still pays for it. I don't have any contact information for him. I do have access to the forum host admin.


It is very commendable that the person continues to finance the hosting, but this is also a risky situation. If the server goes down, it would be difficult to restore it without direct contact.

Perhaps we could contact the provider and ask them to forward an email to the operator? A suggestion for the message could read like this:

‘Dear Sponsor, we appreciate you continuing to sponsor the hosting of the web server. However, a lot has changed in recent years and we would like to update the system. However, we are missing certain credentials (usernames and passwords) to do this. We would like to politely ask you if you are in possession of this data and could provide us with access if necessary.

Our aim is to bring the website (linuxcnc.org/), the wiki and the forum up to date and to ensure that everything works without errors.

We would be very pleased to receive positive feedback.

If you mean the storage space on the server, I assume (my English is not perfect, but if I have understood the hoster correctly) that we will be permanently at about 95%. The hoster dynamically provides exactly as much memory as is currently needed and automatically expands it as required.

Nevertheless, it would be helpful to know how many GB of memory we are currently using. Of course, a little tidying up never hurts!

I have encountered this error after restarting a configuration in PNCconfig. I have attached a screen shot. 
Please advise on how to proceed.

Time to revisit coolant mapping of M-codes in Linuxcnc

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

are you at liberty to share those mappings ? 

They're just basic xxx.ngc subroutine files, specified in the INI file. Not an actual remap of an existing M-code with new behavior and -P/-Q passthrough params.
[RS274NGC]
PARAMETER_FILE = lathe.var
USER_M_PATH = /home/lathe/linuxcnc/configs/LATHE_REV1.53/MCODES/
SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/lathe/linuxcnc/configs/LATHE_REV1.53/subroutines
RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = F10 S0 G7 G18 G20 G40 G49 G54 G64 P0.001 G80 G90 G91.1 G92.1 G94 G97 G98
;ORIENT_OFFSET =
#REMAP=G12.1 ngc=g121
#REMAP=G13.1 ngc=g131
REMAP=M200  modalgroup=10   ngc=m200
REMAP=M201  modalgroup=10   ngc=m201
REMAP=M202  modalgroup=10   ngc=m202
REMAP=M203  modalgroup=10   ngc=m203
REMAP=M210  modalgroup=10   ngc=m210
REMAP=M211  modalgroup=10   ngc=m211
REMAP=M212  modalgroup=10   ngc=m212
REMAP=M213  modalgroup=10   ngc=m213
REMAP=M220  modalgroup=10   ngc=m220
REMAP=M221  modalgroup=10   ngc=m221
REMAP=M222  modalgroup=10   ngc=m222
REMAP=M223  modalgroup=10   ngc=m223
REMAP=M268  modalgroup=10   ngc=m268
REMAP=M269  modalgroup=10   ngc=m269

M210 to M213 are my extra mist valves.  Subroutines look like this:
o<m210> sub

;MIST 2 ON

;MIST2 VALVE             motion.digital-out-00
;MIST3 VALVE             motion.digital-out-01

M64 P0                                  ;TURN ON MIST2 VALVE

o<m210> endsub [1]
M2

The other ones are main and sub drawbars, and 268/269 are G10 front/back tool rotations (hoping to incorporate that in post processor so the display automatically flips to the right orientation).

I could have mapped them to a more logical M-code number... Maybe I'll see if m207.1.ngc & m207.2.ngc work and not cause LCNC to vomit.

Parse Error

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Thanks for you time Phill The tool numbers were generated by the sequence they were created in SheetCam. As it sits now it is usable for me to do work. As I assume the bit size and positions (inside, out side, and one the line) should be kept correct by SheetCam and EstlCam. This should keep the dimensional size correct for my projects.
your statement

This is all using the axis_mm sim config.
does that mean I need to use metric measurements or is there an inch version??

linuxcnc-dev is missing?

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Couple of months ago I installed Linuxcnc rip on an intel i5 4the generation it installed flowlesslly. Try not to skip any steps, take your time don't rush otherwise you will have start all over again.
[edit] OOPS just realized that you loaded linuxcnc. You must start with Debian 12 os only nothing else.

This is all using the axis_mm sim config.
Downloaded your zip file 4washersLinuxcnc.zip and extracted the contents.
Created a tool #23.
Loaded 4washersLinuxcnc.tap which gave a parse_file interp_error.
Duplicated 4washersLinuxcnc.tap and renamed it 4washersLinuxcnc.ngc
Loaded 4washersLinuxcnc.ngc which gave a parse_file interp_error.
Created several tools, #9, #10, #19, #20.
Changing tool numbers in the files and then loading the files showed that tool numbers greater than #9 always gave a parse error and tools #9 and below mostly loaded without error.
I did see that your file had dos style line endings so I changed that to unix style and it made no difference to the above.

The above makes no sense to me and is all I have time for at the moment.

Axes no longer home/move

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I checked every STEP-/STEP+ and DIR+/DIR- pair, there was no meaningful potential between any of them. I only checked STEP0- and DIR0- relative to GND and no meaningful change when jogging. I guess that means both are shot.

Replacing those two chips should not be too hard. I don't like that I don't know what caused the failure, I guess maybe some chip shorted it, since I have not messed with the electrical system in a while. I don't know how that would damage both chips, though.

Also, what are the overheating signs on U7? Is it that blob covering the 5?

Ok that is what filled up the disk space... it needs to be off loaded as we are at 95% now.

That was the main reason for nail biting...
Made a post on mod forum for further processions.
Thank you.

After much sweat and nail biting, we have a backup. :)
Damn it took what seemed like ages, and the stern warning not to switch to another tab or window was very big.

Could not change the logo as there is no FTP or SFTP access and that seems the only way. Strange...

6DOF robot Limit Issues

Category: Advanced Configuration

Aciera post=312133 userid=25994You don't _need_ it, those are simply used to define the pose for (x,y,z,a,b,c)=(0,0,0,0,0,0).

[edit]

Actually I just noticed that you are not getting an 'axis' limit error but a 'joint' limit error. So the issue is that you have to adjust your 'MIN_LIMIT' , 'MAX_LIMIT' values in the [JOINT_1] section of your ini file. Note that joint1=0 has the upper arm in the horizontal forward pose as that is what is used in the genserkins model so you may need to adjust the limit values accordingly.
 

So the joint axis limits in this case are relative the arm posture defined by the modified DH parameters?

Time to revisit coolant mapping of M-codes in Linuxcnc

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I was actually picturing a remapped (ie currently unused Mcode). This would be a rather simple gcode remap where you could then use 'motion.digital-out' pins for the appropriate coolant flow.

Actually adding this to the source code will likely involve
a) a number of files in '/src/emc/rs274ngc'
b) pose the additional challenge of there not being a suitable NML command for all the different coolant variants you have in mind.

The issue at hand, the lack of NML commands is a problem that requires a lot of extra effort for every retrofit that could be solve once and be done with.
