Problem might be that the material symbol and icon library doesn't contain a turtle and/or a rabbit:

Anyway regarding the Offset page I came up with this:

 

 

I've been away on sick leave for a bit.
Just getting back to work on ' trail' basis.

What i find is that there are some issues with the Z settings.
My machine is setup as 600x900x-200mm Home is 0,0,0 of course.

Procedure:
Home the machine.
Move the spindle and put the 3D probe in the ER collet.
Then run the Toolsetter macro. To my knowledge this sets the tip at 39.2mm above the bed.
Then I probe the work piece corner (werkstuk_tasten...) This should set G54 to the offsets from machine home, right?
Then I replace the probe with a mill (actually a lollypop stick for testing purposes). And run the toolsetter routine. I remove the workpiece to mill air while getting the bugs sorted out.
Then I load a program. The Touchy GUI shows the program movements etc on the screen. What i see is that it is correctly positioned in the X and Y but that the Z is to high up in the machine volume (red box on the screen).
Running the program errors out on that it runs out of Z distance wanting to go higher than is available.

So my question is on how to set the height coming out of the toolsetter routine.
The distance from Z-home (0) to the bed is unknown to enough of a certain height to be useable, right?
Or is there some other issue at hand?

You can use the old drivers as Todd said. But, sometimes, changing everything is easier. I already kept old servos on a retrofit, then two years after I changed them because there were damaged .
Delta B2 are ok.

Hi langdons,
yes the chinese has only 1,5kW instead of 2,2, just 320 Hz, no vector, no safety settings and outputs, no rs232 programming, it's cost is only 1/4 of the Hitachi. It is 3 years old, mostly layd in stock, has had 7 hours this year since built in, mostly parametring and testing time, but the 10V problem was from the beginning and sucked. Hitachi made a costless repair on it. I think, there's nothing wrong with the VFD itself, but sth has changed in Linuxcnc. But where?
(Hitachi is founded in 1910 and in the US since 1959, Hitachi VFD's are very common here in Europe and I have no doubt about their quality)
