    I'm about to order this control board that I will mount to the belt cover of my knee mill. The two black buttons (bottom right) are looking for a feature. So please chime in with "you really need a button for ....."  whatever you think I have overlooked.The display (WIP) is capacitive touch-screen and will have several modes Manual, MDI, calculator, etc. with displayed values and additional mode appropriate buttons. 

As I mentioned in my original message, anything larger than coffee maker i.e., machines that can cause harm requires an estop; a small 3d printers would fall in the coffee maker category, the only harm a 3d printer can cause is burn to your pinky.Since you are from Germany before selling or letting some else use the machine you refurbished double check your country machine wiring regulation.

Many years ago, I was assigned the design of the electrical controls of a machine for export to Germany. My hair went white trying to decipher the German DIN Electrical standard. DIN is the most rigid standard in the world, it even tells you if toilet paper hung under or over) . 

In your case a simple Estop/reset might not be sufficient, you might need a CE certified safety relay, if bought new it will cost you more than 7i92+7i77.

Don’t let those macho cowboys tell you otherwise, liability can ruin you all the way to your grave. In law, ignorantia juris non excusat which means "Ignorance of the Law excuses not" is a legal term holding that  a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability.

Hello, I have recently gotten another 7i96s board and I am trying to put the same MPG firmware on there I got from PCW a few months ago. It worked fine on my other 7i96s board but not this new one. I am getting an error during the verification. I'm just wondering if there is something that has changed in the past few months that could have caused this, and if possible, how to fix the firmware so it reads correctly.

Attached the firmware in question. Here is my previous post regarding this firmware.

here is the wiring for speed mode

give me more details please ,experience or in theory? would everything stop working or would it cause persistent issues? Ive been running these for about 8 months now and havent seen anything too bad, so i am curious

Nothing bad at all, it's a great module overhaul. The downside of floating state pins is randomness, therefore not a persistent issue.

Fwiw the PMODE select pins have internal/weak resistors. Meaning; if the environment the system is operating in is an ideal one then most likely the internal weak resistors will be sufficient. However, (in my case), if there is quite a bit of noise/emi/gamma rays/bitflips/coffee/radiation/traffic/manyothers... you may experience strange 10mbps half-duplex startups and/or strange network negotiation. The workaround/fix to that is to harden the PMODE pins' state with pullups (4K7) - see source schematic (pardon my crayon!). 

I have a 5-DOF sim based off the Melfa sim.  The sim creates a floating view panel showing the robot and trace during simulation.

Is there a way to dock that pane with the DRO tab in AXIS and witch between the tabs?

 

yeah, its a placeholder. i dont know much about the specific RT1052 stuff like the dma or encoder setop or the pins they are on

Parallèle port driver setup linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/parallel-port.html
For wiring your IO’s, have a look at the wiring diagram forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/5000...ation-help-mesa-5i25
Hope these links are helpful.

Looks much better now.

I tried
enable the optional hardware interfaces
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=spi=on

everything is working now.
i download linuxcnc_2.9.3_amd64.deb for raspberry pi 4 and they are working. thanks!!

thanks guys for your help!!




Thanks all you guys for your help.

It is connected in the hal file:

net spindle-index-enable <=> hm2_7c81.0.encoder.00.index-enable

# ---Setup Spindel Steuerungs-Signale---

net spindle-vel-cmd-rps <= spindle.0.speed-out-rps
net spindle-vel-cmd-rps-abs <= spindle.0.speed-out-rps-abs
net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm <= spindle.0.speed-out
net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm-abs <= spindle.0.speed-out-abs
net spindle-enable <= spindle.0.on
net spindle-cw <= spindle.0.forward
net spindle-ccw <= spindle.0.reverse
net spindle-brake <= spindle.0.brake
net spindle-revs => spindle.0.revs
net spindle-at-speed => spindle.0.at-speed
net spindle-vel-fb-rps => spindle.0.speed-in
net spindle-index-enable <=> spindle.0.index-enable

Hello,
I have problems trying to configure LinuxCNC so that it can use spindle synchronized motion. I have made the basic setup with a pncconfig. spindle.N.at-speed works, but I don't have a plan how to connect spindle.N.index-enable. For context: it is a cnc-lathe and I want to do threading. My CAM-program (Fusion360) outputs for threading OP`s G33. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? I really appreciate any help.
I will attach my .ini and .hal files.
Thanks
Limo

I've also had no luck with an out of the box STLinkV2. But ColdTurkey has got it to work

pyocd.io/docs/debug_probes.html

"Recent STLink firmware versions will only allow access to STM32 targets. If you are using a target from a silicon vendor other than ST Micro, please use a different debug probe."

If you have a couple of probes you can always flash one with the following firmware.

github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052/tree/main/CMSIS-DAP


ok, so pyocd, CMSIS-DAP firmware, stlink
give me some more notes, im trying to do a docs thing
github.com/cakeslob/Remora-docs/blob/mas.../Ethernet/rt1052.rst
 

I'm a bit confused about the pins for the encoder. PE pins were for the STM, as far as I know the pins on the RT1052 are labeled differently.
