Trixy Install problems

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I am currently trying to install this and it doesn't validate. When making a bootmedium RUFUS even said, that 1.5GB of the image are missing. Could you please check?

It looks like the 2.9.10 image is half the size of the previous.

FabScan - LinuxCNC Camera-Assisted Tracing / Scanning Project

Category: Plasma & Laser

The idea/plan is to trace an object (existing part) or a drawing and capture that as a DXF. I don’t have a video of it running but I do have an example from a test run. The image file is what I traced with my machine & the DXF is the result of that trace, there are some issues right now as you can see in the DXF.. The app got "lost" on the smaller radius corner and circle and just started moving back & forth, but the bigger radius and straight line test weren't to bad. I haven’t tried to trace the bottom shape yet, the app isnt ready for that one yet :-)

Will this eventually allow line following while cutting or you are using it to 'trace' an object or drawing? then use that data to make a DXF which then could be used to run the cutter?

Do you have any video of a test?

I remember at my work we had a line following torch and a always thought that would be a great utility to add to linuxcnc's plasma cutter.

STM32 ST-LINK Utility will not connect to the target.

Category: Computers and Hardware

I want to flash the rt1052 bin onto a DigitalDream EC300 ethernet controller board. The controller board has an MIMXRT1052 chip. I'm using the STM32 ST-LINK utility running on Windows 11. I've connected the pc to the board via an ST-Link V2 emulator. When I try to connect to the target in the utility, I get the error "Cannot connect to the target!". I've tried the Connect Under Reset and Hot Plug modes to no avail. The EC300 board is powered externally by a 24Vdc supply. I've connected the board to the ST-Link V2 using 3 pins as marked in the picture. What am I doing wrong?

Pnconfig wizard doesn´t work for it. (....)  that config with linuxcnc it doesn´t even find the card and exits with an error that the network isn´t reachable. 
 


I tried pncconf once and only wasted time... But always when I found config similar to my needs I can change those as I want.

In Linux you can do anything in terminal. You must know some magic words, but always you can find solution.
In Windows you use mouse and click on icons. You can nothing when no icons for click...
BTW. Read carefully error messages. Not always, but mostly they gives solution.

i believe all amps start with 0x92, then 0x7a, then you can continuously poll it with 0xa2. the answer to 0xa2 is straight-forward:
int16_t abs1 = rxbuf[5] + (rxbuf[6]<<8);
uint32_t cyc1 = rxbuf[2] + (rxbuf[3]<<8) + (rxbuf[4]<<16);
abs1 is full rotations counter, cyc if within-rotation position. afair, it is left-justified to 20 bits, so with your OBA18 encoder 2 LSBs may be always 0.
the last byte of a frame is a xor checksum, not a CRC

Ok if you are using Master branch, I just pushed work to return to the original mode for most things I could find, probing, MDI convince buttons, etc.

Please check it out and let me know what you think or what I missed.

There's also an experimental pncconf version that supports the 7I97 you might try:

Yes of course, already set and configured ( i think), but a bit fuzzy on G53 vs G54 values, as i have G54 X0Y0 at the center of the C axis, but G53 are far from it.


trt-kinematics have parameters to compensate for offsets between the machine reference point and the rotation-point of the table rotary:

See for example 'xyzac-trt.ini':
# not currently supported by xyzac-trt-gui:
HALCMD = setp xyzac-trt-kins.x-rot-point 0
HALCMD = setp xyzac-trt-kins.y-rot-point 0
HALCMD = setp xyzac-trt-kins.z-rot-point 0

Note though that, as indicated, the vismach simulation does not support these.

Yup, know of any good open source one?


I do not.

Try this:

1. in your config folder create a new folder named 'python' and put the two attached files 'remap.py' and 'toplevel.py' into this new folder

2.  replace the entries in your  [PYTHON] section of your ini file with this:
PATH_PREPEND= ./python
PATH_APPEND= /home/cnc/linuxcnc/nc_files/remap_lib/python-stdglue
TOPLEVEL= ./python/toplevel.py
LOG_LEVEL = 0

Seeking Guidance on Mitsubishi MR-J3 Serial Encoder Protocol (J-A22/J-A24) for M

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hi everyone,I am a Master's student currently working on my thesis, which involves designing a custom, low-voltage FOC Servo Driver to control a Mitsubishi MR-J3 motor (equipped with the 18-bit absolute encoder, model J-A22/J-A24).My goal is to achieve full closed-loop control (current, speed, and position) using a custom control board. I am determined to implement the encoder decoder myself rather than using commercial converter modules, as the academic board requires a deep dive into the firmware.What I have done so far:
  1. Hardware Interface: I designed a custom PCB utilizing a high-speed RS-485 transceiver (MAX3485) connected to the USART peripheral of an STM32G4 MCU. The differential lines (MR/MRR) are properly terminated with a 120-ohm resistor.
  2. Signal Capture: I have configured the MCU's USART to run at 2.5 Mbps (8N1), utilizing DMA to handle the high-speed RX buffer without blocking the CPU.
  3. Prior Research: I have deeply analyzed open-source projects like STMBL and various threads on the LinuxCNC forum regarding the "Mit-A/Mit-B" protocols.
The Roadblock: While I can physically capture the serial stream, I am currently struggling with the deterministic behavior of the protocol:
  • The Request Command: I am trying to identify the exact initialization/request byte sequence that the Master needs to send to "wake up" or poll the encoder continuously. I tried sending
    0x02
    and
    0x1A
    based on some older J2S documentation, but the encoder response is inconsistent.
  • Frame Parsing & CRC: Once the encoder responds, I receive an 7-to-9 byte packet. I am trying to figure out how the 18-bit position data is packed across these bytes (Little-Endian shifting vs. Scrambled bits), and what specific CRC-8 polynomial (and initial value) is used to validate the frame.
I am not looking for ready-made code or copy-paste libraries. I want to understand the underlying data structure and state machine of this specific encoder protocol so I can write my own robust driver.If anyone has any documentation, logic analyzer captures, or insights regarding the J-A22/J-A24 protocol frame format, your guidance would be an absolute lifesaver for my thesis progress.Thank you so much for your time and expertise!Best regards,
lap
