Rune_cnc:

Yes, your picture with the NPN sensor and 2.2K pullup to +24V is correct.

hermann1976:

The 7I96/7I96S can work without resistors with PNP or NPN sensors.
This is because they have a floating common pin for their inputs so can
sense either a connection to positive (PNP)  or negative (NPN) voltage
relative to  this floating common pin.

The 7I76/7I76U does not have a floating input common pin so can only
sense positive voltages. Since NPN sensors do not output a positive
voltage, but just a sense dependent connection to ground, an external
resistor must be  added to pull the NPN sensor output to a positive level.

 

Will do in the a.m. Thanks!

why you take some files from this path?

Upload a screenshot and some pictures of the wiring here.

Looks very "space age" with some "cyberpunk" sprinkled into it!
Thank you.

Another one "infected" by me !
Welcome to the dark side.

In the latest master version of linuxcnc, the grid will show in perspective (without patch).
Also there is an action tool button to set grid size from the INI entry. See an example of the 'optn' button in any of the qtdragon screens.

Hi, i also use NPN Sensors for homing and limit switches by my 7i96s without any resistors.
I thing it is also by the 7i76u not nessesary to use a resitor. The i/o's should work from 5 to 28V. Description Screenshot from mesa below.

It is not very difficult to bind the sensors:  L1 (brown) to DC 24V current power ,  L- Blue on ground.  The switch cable ist  Black (BK) an is to connect to the input pin of 7i76u.

But, please without guarantee.


 

Unfortunately I do not have this unit wired in yet. I got this to replace a complete POS usb board that shipped with the mill and never worked from the moment it came out of the crate. (no direction change on x and y and no spindle control), I am trying to get everything working on the bench first just in case I might need to reflash the unit. Save me the hassle of having to completely unwire and rewire the unit if something turns up wrong.

I used the remora-rt1052-basic version because that was what was recommend to me.

Sorry I'm not able to be more helpful as I am very new to both LinuxCNC and this Remora stuff.

This is my E-stop in my .hal file.

It's just a switch. Once the input is triggered it should work. 




 

Hi, what board do you have? with what microcontroller?

The nvem-rt1052.txt is the one you want to use for the NVEM v5 to upload to the unit. Then the remora-ec500.hal and remora-ec500.ini, as from what I have been lead to believe the .hal and .ini files are more or less universal among the 3 units. Following that path, I have gotten a few inputs to work and while not fully tested with motors, the X Y and Z seem to be outputting pulse and direction signals when g-code is run.

edit: I agree that it would be nice if all this was split between the boards, it can get extremely confusing very fast.

Does this work for you with steppers? Could you show me a little video? Internal photos of the board?
 

To solve the "lathe problem", please backup your files to be changed and try this:
copy default_template.xml (attached to this message) in
/home/linuxcnc/nativecam/catalogs/lathe/projects/
Replace the existing file.

Then:
sudo geany /usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp/NativeCAM/cfg/lathe/material.cfg
Remove the line 84 "header h3". All the line, without lefting an empty line.
Save the file, and maybe the problem is solved.

Let me know.
RegardsGiovanni

P.S. there is a revised installation guide too, if someone may be interested in.If you have already installed NativeCAM, you don't need this new guide since all the precedure is already done.
P.P.S: I am thinking my english is not so good

Is there a way to bypass homing the machine? Or what file is responsible for homing? I’ve never had a problem with this in about 10 years. You can jog the machine around turn it on and turn it off. It just will not home. The tool will do a touchdown, etc. when you click on the homing icon, it does absolutely nothing, doesn’t even give you an error.

Thanks,

I just played around with colors, didnt start to move around things, at the end it will look like the attached image, i hope
