You guys are saints.
I often wonder if some people should use anything more complicated than a knife & fork.

Also completely disconnected enable wires as recommended

Upload here detailed pictures of the wiring and the hal and ini files.

Ok... saved and exited StepConf
Started config it saved
I hear the relay tripping on the BOB

Toggled E Stop and Power in UI

I see the DRO changing but still no movement on the stepper

Until section 4.2 the working directory is "linuxcnc-source-dir" and that is a nice change, but from then on it refers to the old naming "linuxcnc-dev" in the copy/paste parts.

If refers to using Geany that is not included with BookWorm, but it is with our version, so would not hurt to mention that if geany can not be found to install it with sudo apt install geany.

Same document a bit lower, add --show to latency histogram, it shows the excursions outside of the visible boundaries that are always, always ignored when checking latency as they are represented with very thin colored lines at the very edges of the graphs, so
latency-histogram --nobase --sbins 1000 --show

Finish StepConf, save, start the config and try to move the machine.
StepConf is a wizard, and very good at what it does, but it can not account for every hardware variant/version/setup out there.
Also, if you have drive enable wired, disconnect them till you get the machine moving, then you can wire and test enable.

One question, I'm studying the Remora-EC500-DMAstepgen, but I don't have any signal of pulses, could you tell me if in your tests, you were able to pulse the motors with DMA and this configuration? If so, could you tell me why this configuration is not happening? github.com/scottalford75/Remora-EC500-DMAstepgen

That repo is only for sharing of development work done on the STM32 for a DMA stepgen. The algorithm and DMA works but the STM32 was not fast enough to generate the step patterns. The only working DMA stepgen in for the RT1052 based boards.

I have 5v going to the BOB via a usb cable... both power and relay lights are on

am supplying 60vdc to the driver... green light on and I see power at the driver

driver has green light on

Just so we are on the same page... I am using Stepconf to test 1 driver and stepper motor...

changed base period , step time, and space as suggested

no change in behavior...

I have triple checked the wiring

If its fixed in master - have no issue switched there. will try and be back. ty

Hallo zusammen, ich schon wieder.
Nachdem PCW mich dieser Tage mit dem Start meiner Linuxcnc 2.9 Config einer 7i96S gerettet hat, dass die überhaupt startet, der nächste Fehler:
Ich habe einen Mini PC namens Lenovo ThinkCentre Intel(R) mit core-i5-3470T CPU @ 2.90GHz und 8GB RAM. Der Latency Test zeigte max Servo Thread Werte um die 30.000, max um 1.000.000, (s.Foto)  ich habe den Wert im PnCconf Wizard auf 1.200.000 gestellt, dann auf 1.500.000 um auf Nr. Sicher zu sein. Leider bekomme ich nach Fertgigstellung meiner Config für eine 7i96S immer die Start Fehlermeldung dass es Probleme mit der Latency geben soll. Ist mein eingestellter Wert jetzt zu hoch oder muss ich noch höher gehen? Ich verstehe den Fehler nicht.
(Den XHC-WHB Fehler bitte ignorieren das ist schon gelöst)

Vielen Dank für Eure Hinweise!
Grüße, Arno

 

Endian, the issue you're experiencing with

dpkg: error processing package ethercat-dkms (--configure):
 installed ethercat-dkms package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ethercat-master:
 ethercat-master depends on ethercat-dkms; however:
  Package ethercat-dkms is not configured yet.

Is because the ethercat-dkms package was recently broken it appears (July 26th)
The deb file is missing the fake_lib folder inside, but the Makefile/configure scripts are expecting it to still exist.
You can see this in the `/var/lib/dkms/ethercat-dkms/1.6.1/build/make.log`

I had to manually download the fake_lib from the origin `gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat`
I then had to move it into `/var/lib/dkms/ethercat-dkms/1.6.1/source`, run `sudo make`, then run `sudo dpkg --configure ethercat-dkms` to forcibly re-configure the dkms package.

I then ran the standard linuxcnc-ethercat install and it no longer complained about the DKMS package.

For a more proper fix, you'll need to wait for the package maintainer to release a new package version without the issue.

Qtdragon uses a derivative of Verser's probe routines. It has diverged a lot code wise.

The tool probing measure routines are disabled in 2.9 (enabled in master).
The routines are there but I'm not sure if they are right - I'm sure master got more work done.

It's possible to enable them with a simple python file patch, but you would need to test very carefully. If you are interested in that, please open a subject in Qtvcp forum.

Maybe Verser can help us get the code better in the linuxcnc version.
