I appreciate your willingness to support me, but at this point it is not a good idea.

Understandable. I agree with the aim of validating the functionality of the sensor with open source controllers like LinuxCNC.

To clarify, the suggestion was not to validate use with Aerotech controllers. The thought was just that it should be simple enough to configure the analog input/output to use the sensor with the existing system available. That would allow testing the sensor's functionality under different conditions, if that would be of use to you.

Looking forward to seeing tests of this sensor by others with LinuxCNC-based laser systems.

Yep, that was it, thank you. Somehow I missed the AXES=3. Another question, my E stop button stays bright red the entire time, it still works. It just never changes from red to shaded.

It's telling you that you have not defined everything required for that function in the initial file.

I just updated to the stable version of probe basic, installed using the APT stable install and running Linuxcnc 2.9.8.  During testing I have most functions working; however, I get the following error when I click on the "go to home" and the "go to zero" buttons. "Named parameter #<geomery> not defined" The error message is the same for both buttons.  Any suggestions on this error?

A test device would be great. What information do you need to get it to me?

Are you still interested and would you have time to test the sensor?

If so, please contact me, preferably through the Proma-Elektronika contact page.

Did you build ehtercat yourself?
My two cents, don't use the official build, make one yourself with disable EoE disabled, and use good shielded cables.

I get notifications, I do check on them when I am free...

Edit:

YangYang also replied, those will be fixed, but we have bigger fish to fry now, we are working on arc stopping, and some other arc blending related issues.

  Hallo guys , at the begining I woud like to thanks for that great forum.I'm trying to connect ethercat device like ORIENTAL MOTOR AZD4A-KED but with no lack.At first i run ethercat on ek1100 and some io -> evrything is working fine ,therefor I know that System is working properly also lan card .Second step connection Oriental drive , but there is no connection , when I type in terminal Ethercat slaves there is nothing.I know that unit is able to work properly because I tested it under Twincat3.Some info about thesystem:drive :    oriental motor azd4a-ked compatibility cia402.system : Linux grzesiekzxr 6.1.0-30-rt-amd64. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone!

Does anyone of you guys have the 257 411 01 EXE Platine? Und does anyone have a exakt Pin connection drawing? I have found some online, but i dont know if i can trust them. 

Finaly every component has arived to bring the Deckel back to life.
I am currently installing linuxcnc and getting to know how to write the hal and ini script.
Has anyone a good hal and ini script to use as a base?

Here is the a picture of my elecrticle cabinete. I am also currently marking every wire i have to connect. 

 

I wont use a vfd because the gears give me a good enought rpm range for now. 

Thanks to all wich have replied

try sudo apt install r8168-dkms which is the driver for your R8111 (requires non-free)

Hi, we're interested in your height sensor and could test it for cutting metal (tool steel) but not familiar yet with LinuxCNC. 

The machine available for use right now uses a 1.5 kW laser, an Aerotech controller, and an optical height sensor, and it could be reconfigured to test your capacitive height sensor. If that is of use to you, please advise.

In any case, we're interested in this height sensor for possible use on upcoming projects, especially since our intention is to move towards LinuxCNC with future laser machines.

Im soooo sorry i did miss to Tell you, yeah the original .ui is already touched a bit. The handler is untouched. Ive got trough a Lot of Tutorials and almost everyone copied the Files into their Main Maschine, it Made sence for me to have them all together in one folder so i got with that, too.

In my opinion it would be the easist way to extend the current handler Data so the Rest could stay Like i already got it
