Configure 7I92 Zhulong card on AliExpress. was created by cob.charles

Configure 7I92 Zhulong card on AliExpress.

Category: Driver Boards

Hello, 
I am having a problem configuring the 7I92 card that I bought on AliExpress.
From what I understand, it's a cloned card. My problem occurs when I configure the P1 and 7i76-Analog Output tabs, the error appears as shown in the last photo. 
However, when I only configure the P2 tab, nothing happens; the card works and the EasyServo devices operate.
Now I need to configure other outputs to make the motor or spindle work, but this error occurs.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
I'm leaving the link to where I bought it.

Axis 2 - touchscreen version of old friend

Category: AXIS

I fully understand, I even tried to hook up a 32 inch external monitor without touch function, however it gives the image from rpi4 via mini hdmi, and regardless of the resolution of the large screen the numbers on the preview tab are still quite blurry, yes it would mean that we try. thanks

Axis 2 - touchscreen version of old friend

Category: AXIS

We can enlarge those fonts but I think we are compressing too much info on such a small display
I have done a Aus where the touch screen was for control and a separate monitor like an old 15” was used for preview only
Ie dual screen one touch one display

So can do if u interested

Maschine faehrt Endschlter nicht an

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Was ist denn kaputt?

Um da irgendwie weiter zu kommen im Forum wären mehr Infos über die "verdächtige" Karte hilfreich.

Vielleicht hat ja jemand einen Alternativvorschlag, wenn die Hardware bekannt ist. Oder eine Möglichkeit weitere Tips zur Fehlersuche zu geben.

Die Endschalter kann man irgendwo in hal und ini außer Kraft setzen. Ich habe z.b. Die a-Achse ohne Referenzschalter.

 

So ein Ding? Da kann man mit Sicherheit eine Alternative finden, die vertretbar ist.

Das wird nicht billig, aber auch nicht unerschwinglich teuer. Ich schätze ein China Break out board (20€) und drei getrennte preiswerte Motor-endstufen (10€ - 30€) pro Stück. 

Viel Erfolg!

one job, multiple files, one directory

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Is there any way to split a job into multiple files, not including the "designate one directory as a working job directory for everything" ?  I want to keep each job's files in separate directories, but linuxcnc doesn't seem to look in the same directory as the calling file, for subroutine files.
I really just need to do a series of G92 (or G10L2 etc), run file A, G92, run file B, etc.

Migrating My CNC Machine Controller to a Dedicated Linux PC and Hardware Selecti

Category: Computers and Hardware

I have been running my small hobby CNC router on a older Windows based controller setup for about three years and the decision to finally move to LinuxCNC has been sitting on my to do list for longer than I care to admit. Last month I committed to making the switch and what I assumed would be a straightforward hardware selection process has turned into a surprisingly deep rabbit hole.The core challenge is that LinuxCNC is uniquely sensitive to hardware in ways that most Linux installations simply are not. Latency performance from the hardware directly affects how cleanly the software can generate step pulses and a machine that runs Linux perfectly for general use can produce completely unacceptable latency numbers for CNC control work. I learned this the hard way after pulling an old Core i5 desktop from storage that I assumed would be more than adequate and running the latency test only to get numbers that would cause real issues at the feed rates I want to run.Motherboard and CPU combination selection seems to matter enormously with certain chipsets producing dramatically better latency results than others and the documentation around which specific hardware combinations are known good versus problematic is scattered across forum threads spanning years with no single consolidated reference that feels current.I have also been going back and forth on whether a parallel port based setup or a Mesa FPGA card approach makes more sense for my specific machine. The Mesa route offloads the timing critical work to dedicated hardware which should make the host PC hardware selection less critical but adds cost and complexity I was hoping to avoid initially.Been sourcing and comparing compatible hardware options through www.amazon.com/ and found some information about the performace of different components and found these components on reasonable price at Link removed alongside a few other places and the pricing on suitable older Intel platforms that the LinuxCNC community tends to recommend has been reasonable enough to make dedicated controller hardware financially sensible rather than repurposing whatever is available.Has anyone recently gone through hardware selection for a LinuxCNC build and found specific motherboard and CPU combinations that consistently pass the latency test without extensive tuning?

Hallo Aciera,
ich habe nach Deinen Anweisungen in meiner Probe Maschine

Ethercat installation from repositories - how to step by step

Category: EtherCAT

And follow this process which I have tested with 2.98 in the last week or so.
github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat/apt

 

Thanks, this repo works for me on 2.9.8 (the default is in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/science_EtherLab.list and gives errors)

1- Is the EL7221-9014 module actually compatible with the lcec_el7211.c driver? - y
2- Would I have to use the driver, configuring the ethercat_conf.xml file for the EL7201-9014 module, even though the actual module is the EL7221-9014? - tell me more about it
3- Does anyone have experience with an EL7221-9014 module who could offer some help? - n but I can take a look

I saw that in a previous post on this forum you mentioned wanting to try an EL7221 module. I'd like to know:
-- Which driver did you use, lcec_el7211.c? - future custom own driver with probing, no because it has no homming internal subroutine and I plan to code my own..
-- Do you have the same hardware, EL7221-9014? - yes I have some of them and I want to use it in the near future .. just after I will finish driver to @zmrdko

let me know

HURCO KMB-1 Control Update

Category: Milling Machines

Its been some months since I started this quest, and only a week or so ago, I managed to get a reliable spindle orientation system working.
This was only achieved by working with that bright but sometimes impossibly childlike system, Co-Pilot.
Just about the same time I started looking at this, the 1983 parajust spindle vfd  became unmendable, so I adopted a Yakagawa vfd and although it ran to me normally, I hadn't appreciated a few finer points, like what is the minimum rpm figure and what happens if the input stage receives a negative voltage indicating reverse, when the machine is setup to have a reversing relay.
So the basic premis is that the spindle, which is to all intentes direct driven as the motor is connected by a 1:1 HPD belt, has on it a 48 tooth wheel passing two hall effects sensors suitably spaced to output a quadrature signal. There is a separate single tooth index on the other edge of the pulley.  The version of Linuxcnc is 2.9.3 and on a Raspberry PI (5) platform. The latter fact caused a lot of confusion as there are some subtle timing issues wrt to index pulses. Once overcome, the trying to use the Orient command failed as the orient window ends up being 22° wide, and maybe because the motion controller expects an encoder with over a thousand counts per rev, not 192. Anyway, means I cannot use Orient.
Neither could I use M19, and I could not find any pin that would light up when M19 called, so have adopted M119 as a custom command. (There is also an M109 to cancel M119, but not used as the M119 contains the shut down itself down after a wait.) M19 cannot be remapped as its too deep in the motion control, I believe.

The vfd can be set to run right down to less than 20rpm and the machine's spindle brake is hard wired into the vfd enable signal, so the only viable method I have found is to set the index enable, run the spindle until the index enable pin goes low, and disable the vfd and apply the brake.
You'll see from the attached hal file that this simple statement led to a complex solution.

The Normal spindle commands M3 and M4 on this machine do not require a spindle PID. The vfd on its own without any feedback runs the spindle stably and consistently, so is not implemented. Because I have a reversing relay, the vfd speed signal needs to be abs, so not to go negative. Also before I set out on this orientation quest, rigid tapping via M33.1 worked, so that encoder feedback requires being maintained.

This may not be elegant, but it does work for me, where none of the other methods, and I try try too many of them, didn't suit my hardware.

The actual code here was written by Co-Pilot and my relationship with 'him' has been interesting Just because he gets the syntax right once, don't be surprised when  some iterations later, 'he' 'forgets' and has to be reminded. At times it has been extraordinarily frustating, but the way I see it is that he has read the whole forum, github releases and a lot more, so can guess at solutions, but won't know if something that was put forward actually worked, so if you engage in this kind of torture, you have to go back with facts, and he will rewrite, over and over..

One thing left over to solve is that when running at 3000 rpm say, and calling for a tool change, the spindle enable signal disappears and the spindle brake applies instantly, and to my mind its uneccessarily violent. I asked Co-Pilot to write me a soft stop that instead of simply cutting the enable signal, reduces the speed to 450 rpm speed, so the spindle is braked internally via the vfd and braking resisitor to a much slower speed before applying the brake. This is written, but not yet tested.
