dmesg_new looks better.
However, your vid and pid are incorrect.
They are from Stepperonline A6.
You must enter those from your servos.
vid according to manufacturer xml: 00000eff
pid: 0d3e0001 (not sure)

Note:
please use: dmesg | grep ethercat as root
sudo su
password
dmesg | grep ethercat
that's conspicuous
EtherCAT ERROR 0-3: AL status message 0x001A: "Synchronization error".

Are you using the "carousel" component, or any other, or python remap for the tool changer?

Today morning still did not work for me, now evening and it works with Dark Reader active, so try again and let us know if it works.

The forum server is being backed up and upgraded, but for now there are no issues i can see.

set the HOME_search/latch/final velocities to something really, really slow, that way you can see what part of the sequence is causing the issue while homing.

upload the hal and ini files here so we can have a look.

i have found the problem , the problem was the sentence in the RS274NGC part :
[RS274NGC]
RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G17 G21 G40 G43H0 G54 G64P0.005 G80 G90 G94 G97 M5 M9

Ten years ago I mounted a 5i20 on a friend's lathe. I remember we used all four ports because he wanted to use the original switches for feedrate and other things. Now he'd like a spare board in case of failure. What can I use with four ports?

I flashed back the original firmware to my dongle for testing. When commenting out the assert and adding a debug print there instead if r != 0, I get the following output during jogging in auto:I tried more than 10 times in a row, and every time the pendant successfully reconnected. In other words, I cannot reproduce your issue. And unfortunately that also means I cannot be of much help to you.

It is a bit surprising that you get the same issue on two different machines, and I don't. Or are the two machines you tested on fairly similar? Could still be e.g. kernel version difference, I suppose. In case they have fixed some usb bugs related to this. It's a bit of a long shot, but I don't have anything better at the moment.

i have opened the file as an . ngc file but the same error accurs with seeking o word in line 92 what i am making wrong? please help  is there something i could try to find out what the problem is ?
 

Okay, so probably not hardware related then, after all. I'll try to adjust my test setup a little bit and see if I can reproduce the issue.

Hi PCW,

I have wired this up like you said. When I set the P value to 1000 we have continuous motion that doesnt stop and when I set it to 0 it moves a short while and then stops.

Thanks,

the image file that I could not get in the previous message

• Ok, setup the HOME_OFFSET to -0.118 [equivalent inch to the 0.3mm) no luck.
• Tried inverting /- latch and others.Axis has errors so attaching the image
• When attempting MACHINE / HOMING / "any single axis" I get an error message

should I purchase an addon card to the 7i92TM to get the home /limits /estop working and wire direct to it?

Have you checked my ini file is this all correct or have i done a mistake
