Did you try this?

issue is the toolchanger is turned by the spindle.. with spindle orient it works but its crap..

need spindle in velocity as spindle and in position mode for referencing the toolchanger and make toolchange...

I will add a floating head for initial height and a z max limit then. I am going to try and use the original hyperthem vdc3 board for ohmic and divided voltage.  Looking at pncconf it looks like I can use the ohmic enable output and input with the vdc3 board to do an ohmic circuit. 

I can get motion on all axis now with the analog servos and 7i97t on qtplasmac.  I am having a hard time getting them tuned.  When enabled they lock in pretty hard and the axis will jump.  The lower P Proportional value parameter the more they jump.  Around 100 they move the least amount (1/16 inch) on enable.  Changing anything else from 0 makes it worse.  I think the settings on the servo driver themself are causing issues. Going through the manual for these schneider lxm05ad10m2 drivers but its over my knowledge level.  

I am also reading up on Hal oscilloscope.  This is all new and challenging.  Ive only used steppers motors up to this point

Can you elaborate on this point? 

You could look at the HAL "debounce" too, to require ms of stable signal before tripping. But that does, in principle, lead to a position error (possibly small, at low probe speeds)

A chap at my Hackspace likes the Voron design so much that he has built 3 of them. Might be worth a look.

Which version of LinuxCNC?
Which version of the macros?

There is an updated version of the macros here:
github.com/andypugh/LatheMacros
But I am currently concerned that it might be too "busy" and slows the other display down. I haven't yet found time to investigate properly.
(But suspect that the screen redraw routine is being called too often)

You can temporarily move the Z max limit using the inihal pins in a toolchange macro.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/milltask.1.html

The "carousel" HAL component can probably be used to control the tool carousel, in conjunction with a G-code subroutine to move the axes and check the sensors.
The sample config sim/axis/vismach/vmc_toolchange should be a good starting point.

Which version of LinuxCNC?
Is there any chance that it is related to the spindle-at-speed function?
Is anythng driving spindle.0.at-speed?

Thanks

Please don't double post. The twin post in your other thread has been deleted.

Hey everyone

I have managed to completely interface with a Siemens 611, enabling it, clearing faults, reading encoder etc.
they move well when I apply voltage to the analog port.
its a huge tandem machine with two Y axis but I’ll be copying the signal as there’s no need for gantry skew correction.
I’m using a 7i97T but the analog part is not working as intended: no voltage comes out at all!

im using a 7i97T test config from the forums because there’s no PNCconf for 7i97T.
but, although the config runs, I have no analog output in any of the ports.

I assume it is configuration, because the config provided is using pwmgens and MAX_OUTPUT but no analog out or Min/Max.

does anyone have a working config for the 7i97t or 7i97?

thank you
best regards

My apologies for spamming this forum with stupid questions,
but I was short on time, hehe.

Finally, success. I outsmarted the probe with the Great HAL:

Then use M64/M64 P0 to keep the flipflop in reset during the retraction:

hi
i think here is it better instead of my retrofit thread.

the emco vmc100 has a carousel which is turned by the spindle.

i use the original spindle hardware.
i can tap threads and mill. there is a encoder on top of the spindledrive.

with m19 r p i can orient the spindle.

now i came to the point that orient not works for the toolchanger because 2 spindle rotation are 1 positionchange from slot to slot.

could someone help me to get it work in position and velocity mode?

to enable the spindle i have a relay. if the relay open the drive is disabled and i can turn the spindle by hand.

if its enable the spindle is blocked and the pid bring it back to position.

thanks i will upload my hal in a hour

# SpindleETH
Intended for lathe spindle control by Ethernet.
No axes control.

# Hardware
This repository is for STM32F103C8 or STM32F103CB

# Tests
Tested on real machine with 2500 p/r encoder and ~1500 rpm.
Direct to PC's eth interface or thru switch (some switches may not work).

# Improvements
New index_enable philosofy.
The encoder's index signal (mostly named Z) is not transmitted to HAL component (it causes delays and threatens to lose a signal).
Controller sends raw counts and raw counts latched at every index pulse instead.
The component knows the index occured by comparing current and previous latched values.

# Adds
1. PWM output (1 kHz and 16 bit resolution)
2. Digital I/O

# Tools
Added encoder emulator for tests.
Important: Arduino can't turn off ESP32C3 watchdog and resets chips after every two seconds.
If it is problem for you, rewrite code for esp-idf or use other microprocessor.
