We need to purge raspi-firmware packages in LinuxCNC ISO (AMD64 version)

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Thanks AI
Maybe once Debian has got their money from the AI techbros they might be able to fix this.

As Todd mentioned, using a USB/RS-485 interface is likely your best option.

Although the HAL component vfdb_vfd.comp was originally designed for the Delta B series VFD, it seems that the Modbus addresses and commands are also compatible with the Delta 300 series. Since you already have everything needed to run a test, please go ahead and share your results. Your findings could be incredibly valuable to others in the future. As you've probably noticed, many users ask questions but rarely follow up with their findings—your feedback will be helpful for others using similar VFD.

Simply typing:

linuxcnc

at a terminal window should do.

7i76EU Hal and Ini File

I would change these in the ini file
from:

DIRSETUP = 100
DIRHOLD = 1000
STEPLEN = 2500
STEPSPACE = 2500

to:

DIRSETUP = 10000
DIRHOLD = 10000
STEPLEN = 5000
STEPSPACE = 5000

also:

P = 0.0
I = 0.0
D = 0.0
FF0 = 1.0
FF1 = 0.0
FF2 = 0.0
BIAS = 0.0
DEADBAND = 0.0

should be:

P = 1000
I = 0.0
D = 0.0
FF0 = 0.0
FF1 = 1.0
FF2 = 0.0
BIAS = 0.0
DEADBAND = 0.0 

These changes apply to all joints.

7i76EU Hal and Ini File

Category: HAL

I've went through the pncconf wizard to set up a 7i76eu board. I can get the x-axis to job in Linuxcnc but the motors are not moving.  All wiring is connected correctly to the board and driver.  I know this because it was moving at one point and then i made the mistake of trying to swap from Axis to Probe Basic and ChatGpt was telling me to do some stuff that obviously messed it up.  So my files here are the result of going through the set up wizard a second time.  It's not the originals.  I'm essentially trying to get back to where i was.  I have communication with the board.  DMM Dyn4 drivers has a solid green light on the front of each.  The only thing of note worthy is the Z-Axis pins from the driver are connected to the Step 0 pins on TB2, X axis on Step 1 pins, and Y axis on Step 2 pins.  This is due to short cables and i don't want to move them.  I made these changes in the wizard too.Can anyone take a look at my Hal and Ini files to see any issues?  I'm attaching the files and TXT files for reading.

How to start linuxcnc from terminal

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Linuxcnc fails at startup and just sits there.

My machine does not show the error logs unless I start from terminal.

My machine has been working flawlessly for a number of years and it seems that I have forgotten how to start  it from the terminal.

2.7 debian stretch.

We need to purge raspi-firmware packages in LinuxCNC ISO (AMD64 version)

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Hi! The LinuxCNC ISO distribution includes Raspberry Pi firmware packages (raspi-firmware) that serve no purpose on AMD64 systems since they're specifically designed for Raspberry Pi hardware. However, these packages create a significant problem: they prevent the installation of other firmware packages that are actually needed for proper hardware support on x86_64 systems. The main issue is with Realtek Ethernet hardware, which requires specific firmware to function correctly. The presence of raspi-firmware packages blocks the installation of these necessary Realtek firmware packages, leaving users with non-functional network adapters.

This is essentially a packaging conflict where Pi-specific firmware interferes with the installation of legitimate x86_64 hardware drivers. The fix is straightforward but important for users who need working Ethernet connectivity (Realtek).

Temporary solution: apt purge raspi-firmware

Thanks Tommy. The attached files will support the 7i97t.  I created a config successfully but I don't have a card to test with so maybe the OP or someone can give it a try and let me know if it works.  I can send in a pull request if it's good.   This will only work with 2.10 master.

After updating to latest master just copy the attached private_data.py file to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pncconf/ and the pncconf.py to /usr/bin/pncconf

I would suggest making a backup copies of the original files first just in case.
 


Can I send you a 7I97T?

XHC-WHB04B-6 pendant hal configuration

Category: Plasmac

Studying the XHC-WHB04B-6 component and configuration with Qtplasmac.

I have these hal connections in my Qtplasmac hal file:

net    plasmac:program-pause         plasmac.program-pause       =>     halui.program.pause
net    plasmac:program-resume       plasmac.program-resume     =>     halui.program.resume
net    plasmac:program-run              plasmac.program-run           =>      halui.program.runHowever,

I also wish to connect the following XHC wireless pendant pins to the above hal pins.

whb.halui.program.pause 
whb.halui.program.resume
whb.halui.program.run

So do I need 2 input OR components to do this, example:

plasmac.program-resume
               OR                                                                    gives out:                         halui.program.resume
whb.halui.program.resume

My question rabbit hole goes deeper.
Is it possible that say my plasmac.program-run pin is logic HIGH, but then from the pendant the whb.halui.program.pause pin goes HIGH also, creating a “command conflict”.

Confused about all this at the moment.

scara making curves

Category: Advanced Configuration

Hello i am pretty new with linux and aslo with linuxcnc, i know the basic things about programing, i can do that a scara can move into my control board, but i have a question, moving the joints it moves correctrly that the screen says, but when i try to move on world mode, on x it mad kind of well but made like a reallly big circule, but on y made a small circule that not move on the right axis, and i have to but on these order X Y Z C , i have to use the C axis to the rotatory becuase if i use the A it dont move and start to do more strange things.

can somebody help or have any idea about that issue i am using the last linuxcnc and the scarakins, now im trying to do an personal scara kinematics but i have some library errors.

Hi all.

As I write this I'm suddenly uncertain whether it counts as a poor use of AI; in any case, I asked the chatGPT 4o for a mod and the result appears to work. I wanted better file search abilities since lcnc's default behaviour means it takes a lot of clicks and scrolling for me to find the files I want to run - particularly 'last modified' sorting.

Do sudo apt-get install zenity,

Follow BigJohnT's instructions regarding bigfileopen.tcl

Then use the attached as your bigfileopen.tcl (copy it in to your config folder and change the extension)

This calls the zenity app on using file Open within Axis. It should default to the Desktop the first time, then to the last folder used. Hope it's some use.

I just tried to create a config in pncconf for a 7i97t and I encountered an error.
Attached is a pic of the error.
I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong, I am barely sure I updated to 2.10.

How to use Fixed PDO mapping on Lichuan LC Servo

Category: EtherCAT

I played with 1704 on my servos and you have to have every single fixed pdo matching in your xml. if you accidentally have an extra one, or one less, or a wrong one that's not in the fixed pdo, it wont work.
