Question on Servo analog output scaling

Category: Advanced Configuration

Yes, unless you set the analog scale so that it equals
the velocity in machine units per second at 10V, (and FF1 ==1.000),
You will need to tune FF1 using halscope.

Here is a long thread about this tuning:

Today I managed to modify the hex file as proposed above by removing the EOF lines are sorting the sections. This way I succeeded flashing and all buttons of the matrix keyboard are now finally working. Thanks Peter for the firmware.
I really wonder why all the tools, I also tried more modern versions of the MPLAB X IDE, are not able to properly read the original hex format.

Best practice for installing custom Python packages in LinuxCNC?

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Why not just build a deb and install your package?
github.com/jethornton/simple-deb
github.com/jethornton/simple-pyqt5-deb

Or if you're using Flex GUI you can just add it to your ini and it gets imported.

Yeah sorry about that mate.

Shipping is a killer to Down Under. I've used shipito as a forwarder and gotten good value on previous occasions.

I've previously used a Spartan 6 Dev board\Colorlight board (spartan 6 based ones are hard to find now) as a smart serial card based on Mesa's 7i90 hostmot2 firmware. Unfortunately it only supports digital I\O and 4 encoders for use as hand wheels. No analogue nor keyboard functions and not quite as compact as the 7i73.

I had FF1 at 0.05 before and increased it to 1.000
However, the axis began to vibrate and commanding a jog resulted in a really high follow error, so the machine engaged the e stop.

Thank you all for the responses!

I inquired with iC-Haus and it looks like the chips will work just fine for me. I'm currently in contact with them to get a price offer. Even better that they're based in the EU.

It'll take a bit of time to cobble together a PCB with said chips, but it's looking promising and I'll post an update with the results.

hey murph, i think scott said the outputs were just optocouplers or something like that, see if you can filter through his recent posts,

pheonix, like spyder said its based on application, but start with like 800-1600 and if you get following errors its too high

I didn't mean for this to turn into a debate.
I have had great support from Mesa and they make quality parts.
The freight is not their core business but is the weight around their necks for sales into Australia.

I was just hoping to get a better deal if able to combine costs. Better products and service and reasonable freight.

Yes, I think PICKit3 can do this. Reflashing the original V14 worked, so it already flashed those options there.
I'm optimistic that simply removing the first EOF will do the trick!
Maybe you should check why your software does generate wrong hex file format because his definitely is not according to official intel hex specification.
Some Tools might ignore the additional EOF and some don't.

If you want to set X0Y0 via a user button (or MDI), you can use
G10 L20 P0 X0 Y0

I’m going to be honest, I don’t understand your workflow, or why setting up the laser offset and using the laser button won’t work for you.  

Either I’m doing a bad job of explaining or I need more info about your setup.  Perhaps a picture of your table would help?

Setting up the laser offset sets the relationship between the laser pointer and the torch, as this should never change.  Once that’s set, you will get a LASER button above the axis readouts.  You can then use
this button to set your offsets.  If you don’t want to use it to set a rotation and only X0 Y0 then you just click a few times until it says laser again.  It will then park the torch above where your laser pointer was, and set everything to 0.

What am I missing?  Help me help you :)
