I have not published a video for a month. I was puzzled to see that there was an upwards trend in my views which had doubled during the month without any new content.

I think this was because I added AI generated thumbnails and revised titles to be more in line with what Youtube wants. TIme will tell.

Yesterday, I published a new video about installing on Trixie and its the best performer I've done. I think this was because I followed a script, added some chapter heading banners and used a cheap Teleprompter (which I also bought a foot switch for). I also used my DSLR with a 50mm F1.4 lens. The ficus hunted a bit but the deot of fields is nicer when I am in focus... You be the judge


I bought a video switcher and I want to do an installation walkthrough but last night I realized that the HP PC I wanted to use does not have an HDMI port so Ihave ordered a VGA to HDMI adapter. Hopefully I will be able to capture the screens from the BIOS and the Debian Installer. Wish me Luck!

I think I have gotten the firmware situation figured out, but now I am trying to add some things to the machines hal file for the retrofit based off a guide for a maho 400e. I added the following and now the cnc panel gives me an error. it seems to be saying it cant find pins on the 7i77

added to the machines.hal file=

You might need to increase the number of pins (default is 15 input- and 15 output-pins):

hello,

I've spent hours playing with the PID values ​​and still have the same problem...
In the meantime, I've made progress on other points on the machine to take my mind off things.

If I move the spindle to 45 degrees, then 145, 245, and 345, no problem; it positions itself correctly at the value. However, if I move it from 45 to 245, the spindle goes to maximum speed without stopping...

But since yesterday, I've had an interesting lead. When this doesn't work, I realized that the spindle command becomes negative (LCNC, probably choosing the shortest path, by wanting to rotate the spindle in the opposite direction).
And that's the problem: the spindle doesn't change direction, so the PID drifts...

To confirm my idea, I made the same movements, but imposed the rotation direction with an M19 Rx P1.
And then, if I move the spindle from 45 to 145 degrees or from 45 to 345, there's no longer a problem; it positions itself every time.

I've probably found the cause, but how to resolve it, I don't know.

Do I have an error in my HAL or am I missing a line?
Do you have any leads?

The LEDs are working properly.
The label translation is perfectly sufficient.

Thanks for the good work.

Switched to the generic driver, ok.
You probably need to add the configPDOS="true" to the linelike

Hello everyone,I have a proximity sensor that detects whether the machine door is open or closed. I’d like to integrate this signal into my system so that:

1. If the door is open, the program automatically pauses.
2. If the door is closed, the program continues.
3. The program should not start if the door is open — it should only start once the door is fully closed.

What’s the best way to implement this behavior in my setup?

Haha, ok..

Taking this as the cia402 reference example github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/main/example/cia402.hal
you normally connect opmode to the cia402 module. I would say connect lcec.0.5 to cia402.2 in the same way as in the example.

Grüß dich michael,
das ist dann mein Plan B,
ich hoffe natürlich das noch irgendjemand vielleicht ein Datenblatt hat.
Der diesen Eintrag hier liest.

Viele Grüße,

I get this error:

Hallo Jochen,

ohne Datenblatt kommst du nicht weiter.
Meistens ist es leider so, dass nur eine Schnittstelle an solchen Antrieben vorhanden ist.
D.h. entweder CanOpen ODER Puls-/Richtung-Schnittstelle. 

Ich würde den Motor gegen eine Schrittmotor ersetzen, vieleicht findest du einen passenden zu dem PLE60-Getriebe und kannst wenigstens dies behalten.

Viele Grüße

Hier jetzt noch mal die Platine von der Rückseite.

Ja das mache ich natürlich sehr gerne, ein wenig habe ich ja schon raus gefunden.Nur nicht welcher Logikpegel von dem Regler erwartet wird.Die Stromversorgung habe ich schon lokalisiert plus/minus, habe ich mit dem Multimeter schon ermittelt.Die Firma wird mir auch wahrscheinlich nicht mehr antworten, bei genauerem hinsehen auf der Webseite habe ich gemerkt, dass die Home Seite gelöscht wurde und die Firma Zeit 2014 aus dem Amtsregister gelöscht wurde. Es sind nur noch wenige Daten verfügbar, ausgerechnet mein Regler nicht.Anbei aber die Bilder die ich gemacht habe.Ich bin für jede Hilfe dankbar.

sorry im a idiot. this was the wrong file.

 

I think I pushed a fix for the leds staying on problem - at least in the tests I did it worked.
The label is a bit harder to fix satisfactorily. It's now at least translatable.
