Nice. Which model Wago ethernet switch did you use? I was under the impression most ethernet switches don't run ethercat.

I think I'm still on 2.09. I have one of those network cards that was a pain to troubleshoot when I originally set LCNC up (it kept randomly freezing up the Mesa board) and therefore I've resisted upgrading the LCNC version 

Dear,

Yes, I tested with X and Y axis controlled by c-mesa 7i92 ver 2.0 and Z axis on Ethercat port, and works fine, I run a program and looks fine but i do no cut any piece of metal yet because this is a test setup and the Z ethercat servo was a external rtelligent ethercat closed loop step motor and my original z servo is way bigger and it is step and direction controled

And after as a test I disconnect the 2 Ethernet ports, and then I use only one Ethernet port and I made the proper setup for ethercat mac address for the same port as the mesa port , and I use a Ethernet switch from wago (industrial Ethernet switch) and I connect only one PC Ethernet port (the original one onboard port from ralteck), and the ethercat drive and c-mesa card to the same switch and was working fine, I did not spend to much time testing, because I need the machine back to work again,

I mean:  1 pc port, 1 Ethernet switch, 1 Ethercat drive (Z axis), 1 c-mesa card 7i92 with X, Y axis connected. runnig in a loop

And I am really surprised that I test some mixed configuration and the CNC machine with probe basic GUI, and was working fine without prompt me a issue,

Works great but I did have to create a post processor for qtplasmac; see

github.com/tomsgarage/freecad-qtplasmac-postprocessor

I just checked, the Gui button changes the pin, but isnt affecting the thc activation
 

Yes, the 7I77U is identical to the 7I77 and 7I77D  FPGA interface wise.

Thank you Tim,

Thanks very much for the details; I’ve entered the board’s details as best I could,
I hope it’s all correct so far – please do have a look over it.
What’s not quite clear to me yet is, how do you flash it? Are there any connectors on the back?

You’re also welcome to send me some text and a link for the description, and I’ll update it.



 

Okay, thanks! Is the .bin file for 7i77 the same as for 7i77U?

Dear meister：

The CARROT BOB sch is in attachments.

I build it for my hobby mini mill machine in my bedroom.
I think it's not very good just like my English,and I don't know how to send it to you,you are live so far with me.
I'm so happy you like it , if you know the way, I'll send it to you for free


Tim



 

well if you are using linuxcnc 2.10 (master branch) 5 axis qtdragon is available.

Otherwise Jim usually looks through Qtvcp forums so will see it and answer.
Or you could message him thru github:

github.com/persei802/QtDragon_hd

I purchased the 1000w a6 servos and followed the thread using the posted xml and hal files. I can get the servo to show its position n linuxcnc however I can't get it to power up. it sits in a 88nr state and can easily be turned by hand.

@viewsat do you have some more informations about the DrDirt - Carrot Bob board ?
documentation, pinouts schema's or so, or a contract mail to the seller/developer,

I’d like to add it to Rio-Flow and still need a bit more information to do so.

I have a json file that I can provide; other files may not be publicly available for download here.
 

I had posted one of my configs before that uses this for M101, M102, M111, and M112. The commands are for opening and closing a series of fixturing clamps (6 air solenoids) on each side of the machine. M101 and M111 are for closing the work holding clamps (left and right side respectively) in a sequence to help correctly position and hold the parts to be milled.  They use both a P and Q variables (P sets the clamping value and Q an unclamping one.) The clamping sequence can also be changed depending on another parameter variable for different parts. M102 and M112 are primarily for opening the clamps to release the parts and only use the P variable, but depending on the P variable used, can also open or close any array of the clamps immediately without any sequence. All of these M-codes write the appropriate integer value to the appropriate Hal signal name (left-clamp-fl or right-clamp-fl) that then feed the Hal pins that make the magic happen.

Here is a link to the config.
