Also check opmode-display and connect it to cia402
like here github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/ma...le/ethercat-conf.xml and here github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/main/example/cia402.hal

If it still doesn't work after that, you should do a factory reset of the erc60.
It means writing to a SDO with "ethercat download -p 5 0x2nnn m 1"
where you need to find the right index n and subindex m from the erc60 manual.

here my screenshoots:

   

Thanks for your help

Hi sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday. Thank you, Aciera. I am new to this, so I will go through the link you sent and try to understand it. Is there any reason you would go the route of using the .comp format? Thanks for the input

More progress, but I need an M1 option stop. Is there a reason that M1 option stop does not work within this m6 routine? I was able to populate my tooltable with this code.

When I have my option stop enabled on the axis gui my resume button is greyed out and I can't resume.
Here is my current toolchange code:
(MSG, Selected tool number = #<_selected_tool>)

#<safe_z> = -.005 ; safe Z height above tool setter
#<probe_z> = -4.0 ; how far down to probe
#<setter_z> = -3.0 ; Z height of the setter in machine coords

M5
M1

G49 ; cancel length offset

G53 G90 G01 F100. Z[#<safe_z>] ; move above setter z retract

G53 G90 G01 X1.10 F100. Z[#<safe_z>] ; move to tool height setter


G10 L20 P9 Z0
G59.3


; Begin probing
G38.2 Z[#<probe_z>] F30.0
(If probe failed, LinuxCNC will stop here)

G01 G91 Z.02 F10.

G90 G38.2 Z[#<probe_z>] F.15

#<measured_z> = #5063 ; captured machine Z from probe
(MSG, 5063 value = #5063)


; Compute tool length
(MSG, Compute tool length)
#<tool_length> = [#<measured_z> - #<setter_z>]

; Store to tool table
(--- Optional: print value to operator ---)
(MSG, Tool length = #<tool_length>)

G10 L1 P#<_selected_tool> Z#<tool_length>
G43 H#<_selected_tool>


G53 G01 G90 Z0. F150.

Soon they'll also have a 4gb version. If someone is willing to make Remora work on it, you can put an Arduino cnc shield on it and you're ready.

Today, after update there is this error preventing start. When this entry is present in the .ini file

thats printed in terminal. If i comment that entry, the ui starts

A question about the plotter i was going to ask anyway: If a program is loaded, machine zero is in the center of the plot, and i have to search the preview. Is there a way to have the current coordinate system zero, centered in the plot, to see the preview directly.

Thanks for all the work done in this project. At the moment i am integrating the subroutines, and it's really nice how to control the index of tabs and stacked widget with a button connected to some python, then load the program with a push button. 
 

Can we start over?
Upload the hal and ini files here so we can have a look.
Also important as it seems, was this config made before LinuxCNC 2.7 or thereabouts?
What version of LinuxCNC do you have running now?
What Mesa cards are in use?

Hello, I'm trying to run a Python file with REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 python=atc_toolchange, but when I start Linuxcnc, I get the message: Hard Limits Are Reset To Active! The Python file doesn't say what could be causing this. Does anyone have an example of how I can run a Python file with REMAP=M6?

I've installed Debian 13 (kernel is 6.12.48) on a different computer, and attempted to build linuxcnc and ethercat from source as described at forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/54712-etherc...ons-updated-for-2024 and the results are the same:
returned Failed to upload SDO: Input/output error 7 out of 12 tries.

Now I wonder if there is actually a problem with LinuxCNC and ethercat, or if the drives are doing something strange.

Thank you for these very interesting explanations. 
I've barely familiarized myself with these special LinuxCNC capabilities until now, but I certainly sense their great potential.
In my ever-loved RHINO, I primarily try to find analytical geometric solutions directly, for example, an X-Y-Z-C-Points.ngc where the spatial position of the envelope shape is precisely used as the basis for the cutting contour.
The method you mentioned in the forum, e.g. according to github.com/FreddieHong19/Open5x, could also be used as an idea for creating such a suitable X-Y-Z-C-Punkte.ngc with Grasshopper.

is the solution replacing with halui.joint.0.minus? I found that in some research but dont want to do anything rash quite yet...

okay all the axis are now back to joints. well I changed the ones i copied to joints as they were originally just axis. now I am having this error I am looking into

The ATC has one sensor (inductive). One bolt is longer, so it is used as a reference (pocket 1).
The other bolts have no effect to the sensor.The disk is driven by a servomotor (JMC 750W, analog input velocity mode)—it's connected to a 7i97.I have encoder counts from the motor as feedback.The linear move toward the spindle is done by a pneumatic cylinder.

this is how it should work :

The ATC moves pneumatically into the working area. The disk rotates to the corresponding tool pocket, and then the main spindle retrieves the tool.

Usually, 6 months to a year!
Although i like to remind myself there are examples of that being a good thing...not often though, MySQL database comes to mind back when it was acquired by Oracle (i think) and they made it much faster and still left it open source, for quite a while...no idea what is the current state of it though.
I am waiting for Paramount to acquire HBO, as that will be absolutely the end of free speech in USA.

copy that, I changed it on the premise that the hal file I am referencing has the axis part and that was the only difference. I thought I screwed something up in the config as I recall something about selecting joints over axis. I will change this back. sometimes I overthink thing, with the speed at which you respond I am much better to just ask haha. feel free at any point to call me an idiot, I dont mind
