The input error is from this line:

loadusr -W hal_input -KRAL none

"none" makes no sense here:

man hal_input

The ping times look OK For the real time error, I would first

1.  Make sure all power management, C1 states > C1, turbo modes etc are disabled in the BIOS
2. Enable all the cores in the BIOS
3. Use isolcpus=3 (last CPU if you have 4 cores) in your grub file
4. If it still doesn't work, Pin the Ethernet IRQ to processor 3

for hardware: Dell Vostro 270 with an i5 3.4ghz 4 core cpu with 16g ram, a firepro 2500(i think) gpu, and i have a second ethernet card in one of the other pci slots. to be honest, i have not tried it without all the extra hardware. i did all these upgrades so i didn't have issues with a slow PC right out of the box. i have a dell laptop with linuxcnc on it that i could try if i can't figure out how to get it running with this machine.

i don't know why the ping times are so abismal. they were half that yesterday. from what i am reading, it's virtualbox that is giving me the error. im not running linuxcnc through a VM but i have it on here so i can run the servo setup software. is there issues running VM's with linux cnc? i have no problem reinstalling the OS if that is what needs to happen.

I've found a similar M-command to query a digital input: M66
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/gcode/m-code....ec:M66-Input-Control

The manual is a good starting point.

Excellent image, runs great on a quick test setup using Pi 5 and a Mesa 7i80-HD.

Thanks!

No sort of reduction is being used. I'm running in inches.

There's this:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Editing_MESA_Bitfiles

plus, I can make firmware if you know the interface type and where
you want to connect the encoders.

I agree with Aciera. I have bad experience with short timing. If the hardware is not ideal, a step may be lost. Longer timing has already solved my hardware problem several times.

How can I build custom firmware, is there an up-to-date document?
Or can you make them if you have some free time please?
Thank you

It would be best to figure out which interface your encoders
use rather than guess. Normally the full part number will
indicate what interface is used.

I don't think any standard 7I95 firmware supports SSI or BISS,
but it can be built easily, and use one or both of the built in
serial interfaces on the 7I95 card.

I have now edited the ethercat conf  first pdo idx to 1702 and second pdo idx to 1b02 and now i can change the servo state to safeop but still no other state.I can not upload servo manual because it is too large.

Hi PCW

thx for your fast reply, in my understanding this encoder supports SSI or BISS, manual is not so clear, I'd suppose I need try both
but which firmware shall I use, where can I obtain it please?

Thank you

Well the sun is shining and thing are much better.
Not sure if this had anything to do with my problems. I went out to the shop and ran a new Pncconf and that seem to clear up things. I cut 2 small G-codes with nice results. I turned off auto volts and used VAD of 64%, the Z DRO seemed to show high but the cut was nice with some dross on the under side.
Thanks for sticking with me (: (:

Here is the part that you probably need.
Attached file is the whole dmesg output.

Does this mean that this servo drives sii is not correctly configured?

I have also tested and can switch the drive between INIT and PREOP states.

How to change the resolution, orientation and make it sound?


It can be done as you see here
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...ge-resolution#292499

Are you telling me that I need to start all settings again with a new image file?
Or there is a video driver, I can use for this image I already have? (Image from the LCNC downlods category)

Hostmot 2 supports 3 serial encoder formats:
Fanuc, SSI, and BISS, so to get the encoder to work
you would need to:

1. Determine if the encoder uses one of those formats
2. Use firmware that supports the actual encoder format
