Last night i checked you user name, all seem OK, so i am baffled at why you can reply to some and can not on some other topics...
Can you take screenshots of when you can and you can not reply and upload them here?
Sorry aber schrieben im Deutch geht sehr langsam fur mich...

No file attached.

@andrax
How do you know that the vid and pid are wrong? I have set them in the .xml file as per the manufacturer .xml when I created the configuration. Attached is the .xml file.

The "dmesg | grep ethercat" still does not seem to work, I executed the command sequence you posted and it just outputs a new row in the terminal.

I am still unaware why the synchronization error keeps appearing, cables are changed and I also have grounding on the metal parts of the bench.

Perhaps, there are some settings in the servo itself that need to be configured. I still think about the fixed and variable PDO mapping, if it could be the reason for this behaviour. There is a warning that says - 1 datagram UNMATCHED!.



 

When you say the motor moves, are you saying the DRO is changing
when no commanded motion is requested?

Do you get a following error?
 

It would be nice to have a simple_xyz_tp.comp component to support linear interpolation and be independent of the main TP.

I think this is a simple task for extending the simple_tp component, where smoothing and arcs are not required.

Did you verify that all home switch inputs work as expected in halshow?
that is, the motions home  switch pins (like joint.0.home-sw-in ) change from
red to yellow when activated.

You might also check that there is no noise on the switch inputs.
(setting halscope to trigger on the switch active level can catch single cycle noise pulses)


 

Can you post your PINxxxx.vhd file

 I can take a look
 

You are trying to control a hal pin, so you will want to use a HalButton from the custom widgets tree. the halpin will have the pinBaseName property you need to set for the button's connection to your licht net. see image below for references:

 



the button color can be style in the stylesheet (see image below) using the following color connections:

 



The button probe_basic_postgui.hal file connection code is as follows:

once done you should have something that works like this gif below, but for your physical light:

 

 

1) It may not be a good idea to divide the architecture of a single module too much. This can cause unnecessary complications in the connections between them and race conditions between components...  For example, the state machine of the “homemode” module in some situations cyclically processes several states in one cycle, thanks to its flat structure, which would be difficult to do if it were broken down into modules.


2)

gantry_manager.comp
Possible responsibilities:
- synchronized homing of multiple drives
- gantry squaring

I think this should be handled by the built-in homing and kinematic module, regardless of the communication bus.

I recently encountered this using ethercat drives with absolute encoders - it is already partially successful. 
Alignment occurs during the homing procedure when jointY1 and joint Y2 move independently and synchronously (home sequence) by calling free_tp,
but requires a revision of the procedure for HOME_ABSOLUTE_ENCODER, which is used by cia402/ethercat (github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3774/c...be947439e20fc5da9825), to prepare it for correct communication with the cia402 state machine

as a result, squaring control should take place in the trivkins module where, when declaring KINS=XYYZ, the connection is established 
joints[1] = pos->tran.y
joints[2] = pos->tran.y

I don't see the need for another layer  “motion -> trivkins -> gantry.comp -> pid -> cia402 ->lcec”   since we already have independent joints, each of which is connected to feedback for tracking following error.

I'm convinced extrajoints handles such a case. It can even move multiple joints at the same time, they're just not synced with each other in any way unless extra hal logic is used to interpolate moves, which you don't need here.

Was kann ich machen, damit ich auf die Beiträge antworten kann? Es ist jetzt schon mehrere Tage so.  

Einen neuen/zweiten User anzulegen, ist nicht die richtige Lösung!

I`m having some problems with customizing bit file to configure my mesa(clone) board. Previously I used effinity software but it seems that chineese boards running on xilinx base. Unfortunatelly I can`t download xilinx software. Could somebody help me with compiling custom bit? Pinout attached below in custom vhd file   

Hello from the new guy!
I want to equip a relatively large machine with LinuxCNC.
For this, I’ve got the 7i80HDT, 7i52s, 7i49, and 7i44 cards.
Unfortunately, I’m struggling to create a suitable PIN file in Efinity.
Is there a description of what a PIN file should look like?
For example, something like “this block is for the 7i52s, … and the following parameters need to be adjusted.”
I would like to work with two configurations.
If possible, I’d prefer both configurations to be achievable with a single PIN file.

RPI5 to 7I80HDT to
- 7I52S Port 3 only needet in configuration 1
            o   6xStep/Dir (output)
            o   6xEncoder A/B/Z (input)
- 7I49 Port 2 only needet in configuration 2
- 7I44 Port 1
            o   4xSS
            o   4xBISS-C with 32Bit Port 5-8

Could it be that the FPGA chip on the 7i80HDT is too small for a configuration where all the mentioned cards are addressed?
Wich one should i choose?

Can someone help me with a PIN-File and/or a description?
That way, I might be able to spot my mistakes as a beginner and learn from them.

What is the meaning of "Unassignet Core Pins [2]" in Efinity (in red) is this important?
What is the meaning of "Missing Interface Pins [1]" is this important?

Best regards,
Michael from Austria

I also strugled with the Errors:

Problem with locale in PNC-Config

Would love to compare notes. I'm about to do this exact thing. I have an old style PC running Mach 3 on a pcnc 1100-3 conversion. I am buying a standalone pc and ordered the PP usb stick. I tried to find the 7I92 and directed to the 7i92TF only to find out noone has them in stock, about to order the 7i92TM and use a gender bender like you mentioned.

No worries, you are welcomed, always.
