Some close ups of the modified Voron 2.4 that uses linear rods instead of linear rails on Y and Z axis, so only a single linear rail is required in total:
-Z and Y rails, brown parts are modified only, and an aluminium L profile is added to prevent carriages from moving sideways while still leaving some flex for up/down motion during quad gantry leveling

-one of the Z rails with the rail mount up, the lower mount can not be seen from the insulation foam, all Z rod mounts are the same and have holes for side or top/bottom mounting, this has 10mm Z rods

-a smaller printer, this one with 8mm rods on Y and Z

-a smaller printer, full Y axis with L shaped aluminium mounted upside down there is enough space for it

-full view of the bigger 10mm Z axis


-full view of the 3d printer, it did some 20 days of 24h printing in one go, gets used weekly.
This one i am calling "woody" as it is fully enclosed in wood and during long prints the motors get to 112 degree C! Probably overdid with thermal isolation...

Will also release the full STL's on printables when i double check them and sort them properly as the Y axis uses only 8mm rods but i have two versions for 6mm belt and for 10mm belt, the Z axis has options for 8 and 10 and 12mm rods.
The 3 printers i built with these mods are of following volumes:
210x210x350mm
300x235x250mm
460x460x1200mm

Adding a screenshot which may help.

I posted in the IIRC chat about my W Motor recently. No sue why all of a sudden I am getting over current red lights on the DM332T but, my motor is good. I've checked it and I have both replaced the motor and the DM332T just to ensure that I didn't have a problem. I suspect that the W-Axis motor to be a issue with the Mesa 7i76E card.

The Z-Axis is just fine and performs as usual.

 

This sounds like a good idea. Inhibit the spindle when the probe tool is installed.
I use tool #99 for the probe, not sure if that is a standard or not.

I have the same io card. I have configured digital input and output, analog input and output, counter input and pwm output. Now the only thing left is the encoder. The encoder of this io card outputs the count value without abz phase. How to convert the count value to abz phase?

That does not appear possible. Just scale the count back into counts per mm 
You could toggle bits 8 & 9 of 0x2040 to zero the count

The manual was a nice find.

Well, after pulling what's left of my hair out I have managed to get Pathpilot to play nicely with a Mesa 7I80HDT...I flashed the board with a custom bitfile, edited pathpilotmanager.py in the python directory...(removed the mesa verify bitfile and forced pathpilot to recognise the board as a 7i80) My thanks to Mesa electronics for keeping the registers and datagrams the same between the xylinx and efinity fpgas.

I managed to get my 7I96S to almost work but of course the transformer drive for the isolated output would not work...I thought about modifying the output drive to normal ssr's but didn't see the point.

Now I have 72 pins at my disposal..

If there is any interest I will explain in more detail, I suspect most ethernet boards would work depending on the types of modules required.

Once again, my thanks to Mesa electronics for a great product range.

Dorro.

I have the same card, can you share your xml for testing??

Wenn nicht, gibt es noch viele weitere Motherboards mit PCIe und Adapter.

PCIe-Riser und Adapter mit 5i25, eingebaut in ein altes Topfield-Gehäuse. Funktioniert gut.

Hallo und guten tag,
Ich habe nun den adapter bekommen auch die PCI-x peitsche und das Molex kabel.

Der rechner läuft die Adapterkarte wird erkannt der rechner startet mit linuxcnc

so weit so gut doch sobald ich die 5i25 in den pci adapter stecke schaltet sich der rechner nicht mal mehr ein
die 5i25 hab ich auf einem alten Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H getestet da läuft sie anscheinend spricht das system falsche buss register an

haben sie eine möglichkeit zur lösung des problems?

danke und schöne grüße aus österreich:) 

 

Sie haben es irgendwie geschafft, die Mesa-Karte falsch herum zu installieren.

Beide Karten sollten Komponenten auf derselben Seite haben. Die korrekte Position finden Sie in meinem Setup.
Und hoffe, dass die Karten nicht wegen der falschen Verbindung kaputt gehen...

Zenduin,

I'm working on this same thing - happy to see you've somewhat trod before me. Any updates on this project?

I am looking at using a 6i24 + 7i52s ... and as I'm scoping the signal wires I'm finding what you're seeing, but the peak-peak voltage on the PWM signals is about 3.3V. Are you hooking the 7i52s directly to these lines, or are you stepping down the voltage at all with any sort of level shifter?

A red light on 7I96S at power up likely means you have a marginal
5V power issue or corrupted flash memory.

 

heres what i get when i ping the 7i96s; ping 10.10.10.10

and the red light is on on the mesa 7i96s.

unable to run pncconf. it freezes and says its not responding and asks if i want to exit the program. and the red light on the board is on and i am unable to ping the 7i96s. host unreachable.

okay, i just reinstalled Debian and setup the network interface and i am getting ping responses. and no red light. yet. i am going to go through the process of installing lcnc

i even used a different Ethernet cable to make sure it wasn't the cable and no improvement. there are only lights on the rj45 connector on the mesa board after i reboot the board. and i can get a ping time from it for a couple seconds then it goes to host unreachable and it drops most of the packets. i haven't installed ANY wizards lately. or tried to flash the firmware. if i can't read the board, i don't think flashing will do much good. at what point do we start to question the hardware? is there a way to test the board to make sure it is operation properly?

Feature request, I think.  for QtDragon, and maybe QtDragon_hd
How about a spindle inhibit, while probing?   
Maybe even with a probe installed?
Something like an optional input for the probe tool number on the probe page(s).
And a check box for spindle inhibit.....
sure would help.

Chris, what do you think?   shouldn't be too hard to implement...
