tommylight: I think they are talking about a specific startup issue with the EtherCAT
Lichuan drive.

I would probably start with a pncconf configuration file set
made for a 5I25 + G540. I would set the number of stepgens and
encoders to 2. Then select "accept component changes" and assign
your stepgens and encoders to the desired axis. Finally hand edit the
resulting hal/ini files to deal with the card differences. (mainly GPIO settings
for limit switches etc)

Edit: You may need to add an additional PWMgen or stepgen for controlling the spindle
and additional encoder for the spindle.

From PCW:Edit the IP and the location as needed, save to a text file with whatever name .sh, make the file executable in properties.

i have the same thing but my driver are lichuan closed loop stepper CL3-E86H
I got it to run but still have to do the ritual every times I turn on the machine

Hm, seems to me that the recorded (blue) path deviates quite significantly from the displayed smoothed tool direction path.

Nur einfach die zwei Zeilen in der ini einfügen wird nicht reichen. Du müsstest 'Probe Screen' auch noch installieren:

für linuxcnc 2.8 könnte das hier helfen:
github.com/linuxcnc-probe-screen/probe-screen-ng

für 2.9 schau mal hier (das ist dann aber wirklich nicht mehr anfängerfreudlich)
forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuratio...obe?start=650#277215

Alternativ mal die QtDragon GUI ausprobieren, dort ist Probing schon mit eingebaut.

Ok,

Now it follows the tooldir path.

So that would indicate that the digital inputs need to be connected to COM rather than +12V.

I that case you can try to connect FWD to En+ and COM to En-.

If you need to reverse the spindle then you will need an extra relay that at rest connects En+ to FWD and when energized connects En+ to REV. The relay coil is driven by DIR-.

I do have a panel where I can switch between manual and automatic. Was keeping it always in automatic mode.
Unfortunately, I've no documentation from this VFD.

I add another short between COM <=> REV and now the spindle starts rotating going to the maximum speed. Not bad, now I will return to the Mesa card wiring but now keep COM <=> REV.

 Hallo,habe in der ini unter display die embed zeilen eingefügt.probe screen geht leider nicht.alles Andere funktioniert..anhang: meine maschineals anhang meine MasschinenkonfigurationDanke

Ok now i had a look back, see if the VFD has something similar to "remote" and "local", where local means control only over the built in keyboard and remote means control only over the wires.

and making a short on AVI <=> +10V as well FWD <=> +12V.

Since I see no other enabling input on the image of your VFD it is most likely a parameter setting issue in the VFD itself. My suggestion would be to have a look in the VFD manual. Usually there are parameters that need to be set to select the function of the analog voltage input.

Not yet, VFD's do require another signal to enable the VFD, usually named fwd or run, and if reverse mode is required there is also the rew or dir pin. Se the VFD manual how those signals should be triggered.

If i remember correctly, 7i85S has 4 stepgens and 4 encoders and a smart serial, and Argon drive does work with step/dir signals, so that is all taken care of.
7i75 should be a break out board with isolation (again if i remember correctly), so it can be used for other signaling.
This might need a firmware flash, although any existing firmware that has 7i85S in the name will work, so do try the included firmwares on the downloads page of mesanet.com
With Mesa any functional pins like step/dir, PWM, encoder counter, etc can be used as normal input or output pins if those functions are not required in hal.
