Does the machine have home switches?
If yes, home the machine then touch off each axis/joint in G54.
There are active offsets in use, remove those first, see if that puts things where they should be.

Move the Z axis by hand towards the spindle a bit, then power on and try homing.
If that does not work, use a DVM to check the wiring from the Z axis switch to parallel port 0 (the built in parallel port in the motherboard, not the add on one)

No, what I have is a 7i96. Somehow I found wiring directly to it very awkward with my DIY mill. It's possible that that was because of the poorly designed stepper driver board I was using -- it's connections were hard to manage.

I did find an Arduino shield that does what I want and has screw terminals for all connections. And I think I can probably use it almost as is, simply by not plugging it on to an Arduino. Still thinking about that.

When you say "standard" stepper drivers, can you show me an example, including how they're typically mounted? It's true my head is probably stuck in the CNC toy world.

This is getting to be a 911 issue as I’ve got to get this machine running. I can’t move forward without it. I need to Groove the baseball bat to get them to the MLB, we’re gonna be grooving dolls down to drumsticks, etc. Absolutely appreciate your assistance. How do you find a CNC tech in the Chicagoland area that knows Linux 2.5? So far nobody.

Thank you cake! That actually cleared things up more than a little. I managed to figured out what that .not was for on the end so maybe that's a plus.

Still have the Emergency Stop button on Axis freezing after a trigger and neither mouse or [F1] will reset it. I am thinking that I had read some posts back that someone else was experiencing the same thing and was thinking it was Axis related?

Not letting that stop me from moving forward and next comes the probe. If I were to take a SWAG at it, how close does this come?

Am I on the right track?

50 hz is inferior to 60Hz b/c transformers, motors, etc. need to be bigger and more expensive.

Was this from chatGPT?
The only valid difference is the induction motors spin faster at 60Hz, everything else is pretty much irrelevant.

Where would I need to go to change the scale

That's what the cia402 component does. You have already set cia402.0.csp-mode to 1 in the hal file.
You can go into halshow and find the pin lcec.0.X.target-position and lcec.0.X.actual-position.
The difference between them is the following error and one always accepts some error but when it becomes too large lcnc stops.
You have the cia402.0.pos-scale to play with. The manual should say how many "steps" per revolution it uses, or how to found out. Calculate how many steps per axis unit (mm?) you have (thread pitch).

However I looked at your ethercat-conf.xml. You got to remove those pdos from syncmanager 0 and 1, actually remove sm0 and sm1 completely and only use those in sm2 and sm3.
Like this


Keep dccconf line and all other lines. If I made a type above I hope you can correct it.

Thank you very much for your interest.
Something like this happened to someone else and it was resolved as you said, but how can I close it?

Turn off eoe    ???????????????

Mr. Hakan, I followed your posts a lot and I have come a long way.

your first question  (  I tried to try the xml in this video but it gives an error )

new 6axis DC-Motor Controller
youtube.com/shorts/BiJppd6_cA4

Hi Andy, I have machines with Axor MicroSpeed ​​MCS-60-10/20 and HDT Colibri CB060 10/20 servo drives, among others, that have analog and PWM interfaces. According to the datasheets, they explain that they have some solder jumpers that can be connected to switch between interfaces, since they have PWM and analog. I've actually tried everything but I can't change the interface.
These servo drives operate up to 60V VDC, and the VDC motor machines for this voltage also have power supplies based on transformers, rectifiers, and fairly expensive capacitors that I could use and wouldn't have to change.
If you have any information on how to change these interfaces on the driver itself, that would be great. The datasheets for both brands specify that there is a solder jumper (example: K# nomenclature) to make this change, but when you look at the PCB, you find all the jumpers except that K#. Hahaha, the components come without identification, for a change, etc. It's also always fun to write a driver for a new module, in case it doesn't exist of course, thanks for the ideas and greetings

Yes, the eStop works as it should. By MPG, I mean a normal external handwheel with a selector switch for the axes, not the NV MPG.

Ok great, so

DarkPheonix - good for now and stepping?

Warning: Spoiler!

aDm1N - you have the Estop behavior working properly with that code then? If yes, Spyder, refer to his example.
re- MPG , here is the config for MPG, un-comment the line from your ini file, and make sure the component is installed. This is for the NVMPG that can come with the board with the screen. If you are talking about a separate MPG, we can copy the same with a few changes.
github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c...ic/remora-nv-mpg.hal

re- C axis and encoder - this is more involved, lets circle back to this one

Spyder, yes there will be some conflicting line, the 3 lines at the top of the hal file needed modification, but I think you figured it out. "net remote-estp " check out the linuxcnc page on hal, but the nets are names that you create, so there wont be a remote-estp pin in the linuxcnc documents, and yes the => and <= denote signal direction,
so for example the new net "remote-estp" is connecting the linuxcnc pin "estop-latch.0.fault-in" to the remora pin "remora.input.04"
and the remora pin is going to the latch.0.fault-in pin

 
 

There is only one problem when you use the directional buttons to move the axes, the movement is strange, not responsive, slow to start, and sometimes that movement remains in memory, after an estop, the car exiting the estop starts turning again by itself or makes strange movements.!! but gcode work fine! i need study the problem! I was able to get it working using a function generator and an osciloscope.
