Greetings,
is there any "python" programs or solution for generating g code with custom shapes,
square triangle circle like

thanks

I’m in the process of building a 4th axis for my linuxcnc mill.  My Mill is a Matsura MC-500 and is based on MESA boards via ethernet and QT dragon w/Linux 2.9.
I’ve aquired for cheap two new HF-SP-102 motor (1KW) with high load and high precision harmonic drives from "Harmonic Drive LLC" that are integrated (but can be separated) for $25/each, I then found the servo driver for it MR-J3-100B amp on ebay, and got the cables to connect it for a few hundred.
I’m now trying to work out how to connect it to the PC and drive it but it doesn;t seem that straight forward as the servo driver support SCNET-III.  I saw some posts and links to Dimitry's site(www.yurtaev.com/), but my PC is an all in one touch screen and I;m not sure it has PCI slot.
I perhaps I could get a MR-J3-100A driver as it uses a 'general' interface (not SCNET-III)

I probably got a bit excited with the cheap motors and gear boxes and just assumed it would be straight forward to get the electricals working (oops).  What do you think is the best way forward?  Buy a card from Dimitry and a new PC and touchscreen, or should I get a different path that is supported by the MESA boards and non PCI ie buy a different motor+servo and make the adapters to the Harmonic reducer units I have.

Cheers,
Cam

What is tricky?

Hi Hakan, thank you for the informations,

during the servo configuration there are a lot of parameter to tweak, are there any parameter that can fry the driver/motor?

a bit tricky with the hsk stand, it needs to be very precise

Currently the step setting is 1000 and i tried 800, 25600 and 12800 (yes i changed scale accordingly) no major change and the best setting was 1000 imo.

It is vibrating alot after a certain point on the axis and if i just support the load on it is completely fine.

and the main thing is on going up there is no vibration at all.

The pitch of the linear actuator is 50mm.
