Download and double click to install with gdebi, and in case gdebi is missing:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdebi

There is nothing pertaining to spindle in the ini file, not sure if that is the issue, but it is easier to make a new config with the spindle included using stepconf wizard.

Hi PCW,

I managed to brick the firmware as well while following your instructions above.

I downloaded the Efinity software, along with the flashing utility from the link you provided. When I attempted to compile the project, I received the error:

“Project contains some invalid configuration. Please see details in console.”

It appears that some files may be missing.

I then tried using files from Mesa and was able to compile successfully. However, when I attempted to flash the board, I encountered the following error:

“ERROR: The FPGA given in the bitstream file does not match the FPGA you are trying to program. Check that you are using the correct bitstream file.”

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

You have this line
addf hm2_7i96s.0.read servo-thread
twice inside the hal file, so that will obviously not work, and i assume the same thing will happen with
addf hm2_7i96s.0.write servo-thread
after you delete the fist offending line.
You have to add this line
addf hm2_modbus.0.process servo-thread
between the already existing READ and WRITE lines, and add
loadrt hm2_modbus ports=hm2_7i96s.0.pktuart.0 mbccbs="Omron_MX2.mbccb"
before those read and write lines.

happy to help! glad you got it sorted out!!

Are you sure that is the correct path to the xml file?

Hi Lcvette

Thank you so much for your help, it works perfectly. Thanks also for all the work you do here every day, helping out beginners like me. Fantastic!

Ja, die Verkabelung scheint deutlich sauberer zu sein.

Sieht aber in dem Bild auch nur so sauber aus weil das meiste noch fehlt.

The device name can be anything but must be consistent within the source file

Not sure about the addf issue, I will take a look at a working gs10- hal file later today

Ja, das Forum ist oft nicht erreichbar oder reagiert sehr langsam.
Das finde ich sehr schade und es ist sicherlich auch nicht förderlich für die Community.

Erst einmal danke für Eure Einschätzung.

Dass mir Mesa oder Leadshine Support geben würden, davon bin ich ehrlich gesagt nicht wirklich ausgegangen. Umso besser zu wissen, dass Mesa hier offenbar gut unterstützt.

Leadshine kenne ich bisher noch nicht wirklich. Ich habe die Produkte aber vermehrt in Videos gesehen und frage mich aktuell, ob das tatsächlich etwas Hochwertiges und langfristig Brauchbares ist.

Ja, die Verkabelung scheint deutlich sauberer zu sein.
Das würde mir sehr gefallen und käme meinem Ordnungswahn definitiv entgegen.

Du hast recht, die haben sehr viele IOs. Tatsächlich habe ich mir noch nicht im Detail angeschaut, was die alles mitbringen.
Da ich 4 Achsen (XYZC) habe, kommt da schon einiges zusammen. Ich muss mir die Geräte noch genauer ansehen, was sie von Haus aus können. Manche scheinen ja sogar ihre Referenzfahrt über das Drehmoment erledigen zu können, was wiederum Sensoren und zusätzliche Verkabelung einsparen würde.
Eventuell ginge es auch kleiner als die EL8-Drives.

Zusätzlich habe ich mir einen EtherCAT-Treiber für Schrittmotoren angeschaut:
www.omc-stepperonline.com/de/y-series-et...schrittmotor-dm556ec

Ich bin bei diesem Thema noch recht unsicher, aber wenn ich mir diesen Treiber ansehe, kann ich weder die Stromstärke (Ampere) noch die Schrittauflösung direkt am Treiber einstellen, so wie man es von klassischen Schrittmotortreibern mit DIP-Schaltern kennt.

Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, erfolgt diese Parametrierung dann über LinuxCNC, beziehungsweise über die XML- bzw. ESI-Datei, die für EtherCAT verwendet wird.
Ist das so korrekt, wie ich das aktuell interpretiere?

Ich bin aktuell noch nicht zu 100 Prozent von einem neuen Weg überzeugt und muss mich erst noch entscheiden, welchen Weg ich letztlich gehen möchte.

Ich möchte mir dabei nicht nur die Funktionen anschauen, sondern auch die Preise. Leider sehe ich bei Leadshine bisher keine Preise.
Die Webseite scheint meine Mailadresse nicht zu mögen, da ich dort ständig einen Syntax-Fehler angezeigt bekomme.

Und ja, eine gute Dokumentation wäre definitiv wünschenswert.

ENGLISH

First of all, thank you for your opinions.

I honestly did not expect to get support from Mesa or Leadshine, so it is good to know that Mesa offers solid support.

I am not very familiar with Leadshine yet. I have seen their products more often in videos, and I am currently wondering if they are really high quality and suitable for long-term use.

The wiring looks much cleaner.
I would really like that, as it fits well with my need for order.

You are right, they have a lot of I/Os. I have not yet looked at all the details of what they offer.
Since I have 4 axes (XYZC), quite a lot adds up. I still need to take a closer look at what the devices can do out of the box. Some of them seem to be able to perform homing using torque, which could save sensors and additional wiring.
Maybe smaller drives than the EL8 would also be sufficient.

I also looked at an EtherCAT stepper motor drive:
www.omc-stepperonline.com/de/y-series-et...schrittmotor-dm556ec

I am still quite unsure about this topic, but when I look at this drive, I cannot set the motor current (amps) or the step resolution directly on the drive, like on classic stepper drivers with DIP switches.

If I understand this correctly, these parameters are configured via LinuxCNC, or via the XML / ESI file used for EtherCAT.
Is this interpretation correct?

I am currently not 100 percent convinced about choosing a new approach and still need to decide which path I want to take.

I want to look not only at the functions, but also at the prices. Unfortunately, I cannot find any prices from Leadshine yet.
The website seems to have a problem with my email address, as I always get a syntax error.

And yes, good documentation would definitely be appreciated.

Best regards

Ok,

in that case I would try setting the outputs in HAL Show and verify it with a multimeter.
If that does not work, you probably know what signal does not work, it is unlikely that everything does not work, and you said that the drive enables.
If it works but over the normal GUI it does not, I am out of ideas as well.

So i have created my XML and a halfile which i think has some problems but i cant seem to get it to load i have attached the report and all my configs     

I've built linuxcnc from source many times, but since upgrading to trixie, it no longer works. I'm following the instructions at  Building LinuxCNC . I don't think they are entirely correct. In section 4.2 (Building Debian Packages) it says the following:The result of ./debian/configure is bash: ./debian/configure: No such file or directory
If I don't cd into src, like it says in the previous step, then configure works.
The result of sudo apt-get build-dep . is Error: Unsupported file . given on commandline
The result without the . is Error: Unable to locate package build-dep
If I just go ahead anyway and run the last line, it seems to compile but ends with:

Since it appears buildbot is not building debs for trixie, my only option is to build from source. What is the correct procedure for building deb files for trixie? Thanks,
Jim
 

Hey PCW,
thank you. I updated LCNC from 2.9.4 to 2.9.8 to use mesambccc.
I saw some comment of your gs10 vdf and tried to edit this.
I created a mbccs file only with "run" and "heatsink-temperature" to testMy first question:
in my Omron_MX2.mbccs file. there is some device name.I tried to use a different name like "OmronMX2" but it seems, only gs10 or wj200 should work.Is there any kind of driver list to choose from ?

I looked into your .hal and added:
But Received the following Error: LCNC_Error.png
I can´t find any other addf hm2_7i962.0.read in my .hal file. So I don´t understand these Error message.
Any Idea ?
