Here's a quick update. I have picked up a new JTAG/SPI/UART/I2C Flash programmer! I have wanted one for so long.... I have flashed the ColorLight 5A-75E with the LiteX-CNC firmware and my custom config file sucessfully! I have built a schematic in KiCAD that should work for my machine. I have all of the parts that I need. All that is left is to 1: Sleep on the schematic a couple days (let it brew), then I can double check it. 2: Build my PCB file. 3: Etch me some boards and Assemble!

I am including my schematic in pdf form for you to see. Please be gentle! But I will gladly take some thoughts on it!

Hello dear community, 
I have retrofitted a small CNC lathe from Weiler. Unfortunately, I have a problem with programming my tool changer and can't get any further .... I hope someone here can help me or has already integrated an identical tool changer in Linux CNC. I would of course pay for the effort if someone could be so kind as to write me a suitable classic ladder / comp component or Hal

I also apologize to Aciera and Tommylight, I shouldn't have argued with you.

I think I was wrong in my first message, I apologize to everyone for that. I think the admins should delete this thread.

Ok, I was able to set emergency button (ext), probe and limits. But when I tried to go from x0 to X50, it stops at 49.995, when I try to go back it stops at - 0.005. My j0pos-cmd is different than j0pos-fb by 0.005 all the time. I've never had that kind of issues with simple lpt port board. I'm using default basic remora config as a base for my setup. I've asked in basic configuration category but there is no answer for few days.

My current guess is about FERROR and ferror_min. 
But I'm not sure why my setup behieve like this 

This is fantastic. Thank you and Robbb and trisa and a whole lot of others. I just got my setup working.

tommylight, thanks for your answer! I'm sorry that I dont have read all of the relevant manuals and HowTo's so that I did not follow instructions that I did not need until some days ago. As a newbie in Linux and LCNC, I needed weeks and months to get to a working machine. Until then, everything worked fine, both networks in parallel, the only problem was the latency that I did not understand. PCW brought me up to here, we had a solution in sight, and I was not mentioning that I'm doing sth wrong.
So, I will follow your advice tonight and give feedback soon.

Hi,

I am trying to setup my mill and i have something stage going on.
my dro gives me different values than halui.
When I use the jog function 1mm my mill moves one mm. the dro on hand wheel says 1mm.
the dro of probe basic 0.0394. so 1/25,4 inches
is there a setting for probe basic to switch between imperial and metric units?

Thanks Patrick

For a 6I24, you could use a 7I52S daughtercard to get 6 encoders + 6 differential step/dir channels
Or you could use a 6I25 and a 7I85S to get 4 of each

I'm currently planning my next retrofit. To avoid network problems I'm thinking about a Mesa 6I24-16 or 6I24-25 card. At the moment I see 2 questions. 1. How is it possible to create a step/dir and encoder connection with the card? 2. And what is the difference between these cards?

Hello PCW,
thank you for your answers! (sorry for delay, I was very busy the last days and couldn't do anything at my machine.)

I tried the lines in /etc/network/interfaces file and  after reboot my internal Intel network was disabled. Just  auto internet with RLT8111 is possible. The file is as follows:
 

Well, internet network is ok. What is the faulty setting here?

 
 
 

That's fine, but the wrong card was configured. I suspect that the Intelcard is calling enp2s0. Try modifying the file this way.

Installed twice and works fine.

If you can get the comp correct for Y Z it will help to use W axis rather than Z for boring.
