Get rid of username/password?

Category: Basic Configuration

On the main menu, there is something like "startup" in the "preferences" submenu, use that for autostarting LinuxCNC.
Desktop entries will not autostart.

 By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, what's with the goat in the picture? 

The internet uses G.O.A.T for "Greatest of All Times", and this is where it absolutely makes sense as PCW is the Greatest of All Times for support of it's products.
Asking for new firmware and having it in use in a single day, that is ultimate support.

Raspbery pi5 pcie adapter to parport card

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Thanks 'unknown'. However, the post that you link to was prior to the pi5 release. The Pi5 now has a dedicated pcie port that the pi4 did not have.
I could be and am likely wrong here. However, Because this parport card is recognized, I do believe this is a permissions issue. Or a vendor ID issue. I am hopeful that getting this parport to work would open the door for me to use a parport along side the GPIOs and expanded capabilities of the pi5.

My Linux skills are rusty and lacking at best. So again any help is appreciated.

Hi , I am also trying to retrofit with Simodrive. Could you share the INI and HAL files, as well as the electrical connection diagram between Simodrive and the boards? Thank you, M Domingues

Simodrive 611

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hello everyone 
We are currently trying to retrofit an EMCO CNC lathe with Simodrive 611
We have the 7i97T + 7i84 board with the basic GUI Probe. 

Has anyone successfully configured this  and can send me the .ini and .hal files? for comparison. 
The Simodrive drives, even electrically, are not very clear in terms of connection, the drive enable connections (ENA0+, ENA0- GND, AOUT0). As we only have one analog input, we will try to connect GND and AOUT0. 
We are trying to find the software to access Simodrive, but we haven't been able.

If anyone has successfully done this and can share, we would appreciate it.

NativeCam on LinuxCNC 2.9.3

Category: NativeCAM

Hello all,

I’ve been using nativeCAM for several years on my milling machine and I’m really impressed. I’m currently converting a CNC lathe, and it was planned from the start that nativeCAM would be used there as well. On closer inspection of the Screenshots in this thread I’ve realized that the turning version doesn’t have a “polyline” feature. I could hardly believe that. This one amazing tool would make the software unbeatable! Polyline + G71 could program the most complex turning parts with just a few clicks in a minute and replace 90% of CAD/CAM.
Do i miss miss something, maybe there is a good reason. Are there no Lathe useres for nativeCAM?


greetings Tom

"pwm/dir" (Out1) switches for spindle CCW

Category: Basic Configuration

At the end it was easier for me to compile a new bit file without the pwm/dir (I/O 07 PIN 17) and use it as a GPIO. It is working now.
Many thanks to you Peter!


Another question is about my "26 HDR" internal port of the 6i25 , I wanted to do my own encoder pcb but now I found a used 7I52S.
How to modify my vhd-file to do so and how should the cable from 26 HDR 6i25 to the 50 HDR 7I52S look like?
I don't now if I can use all functionality of the 7I52S but at least the 6 encoders and the rest filled with (stepper)outputs?
Should I open a new thread for this?

Heidenhain EXE610 - which MESA board would be needed to connect 4 of them?

Category: Driver Boards

Oh wait, Ua0 / Ua0 is the index.

 

So you need them on Mesa pins 7 and 8, swapping Ua2 / Ua2 onto pin 1 and 2. It doesn't matter which way around the phases are connected

New EtherCAT Slave Devices REAL data to HAL

Category: EtherCAT

Hi there,
I made a new ethercat slave device, that you can connect any incremental encoder to ethercat network,
you can watch its video;


Everything is ok with Twincat, I can read A B Z pin situations, encoder puls register (s32), encoder rpm value (real)
But in HAL, I cant get ENC2RPM value correctly, it shows irrelevant numbers,
in xml file there is;
<pdoEntry idx="0006" subIdx="01" bitLen="32" halPin="ENC2RPM" halType="float" />

Main question;
what should be the halType for a variable that can read successfully in Twincat (REAL)


Slave devices ethercat xml command output is here;

Heidenhain EXE610 - which MESA board would be needed to connect 4 of them?

Category: Driver Boards

The scale has an emitter (LED or bulb) and a receiver , so they both need power and ground, but per the note the power lines (pins 3 and 12) and the grounds grounds (pin 10 and 11) are internally connected. So you just need to supply +5VDC to either pin 3 or 12, and a ground to pin 10 or ll.

You show both Ua1 and Ua2 connected to pin 5 of the Mesa. Ua2 shoud be connected to pin7.
