Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Category: Computers and Hardware

Hello, everybody!

About 1.5 years ago I tried going the Remora route on my NVEM V2 with the STM32F207 and a Raspberry Pi 4. After a steep learning curve I finally managed to get the motors to turn, but experienced an issue where the motors would stutter, or skip steps, for some reason. Despite some kind peoples best effort to help, I was never successful in solving the issue and my PrintNC has been out of order since then.

I finally gathered some energy and wanted to give this another go, so I bought a mini-PC, a Lenovo M93p, mainly because I feel more comfortable using a real PC rather than a RasPi, and because it feels like there is more support for it.
Anyway, I followed all the same steps as the last time to get Remora up and running, but unfortunately the result is the same, the motors turn, but stutters.

1.5 years is a long time in the world of open source firmware development, so first of all I would like to ask if the Remora-NVEM repo is still the latest one for the NVEM V2? Or has the old NVEM V2 been integrated in another repo and has seen some updates since?

My next question would be, if it turns out that I simply can't get the NVEM to work properly, what is the board to buy nowadays? Is it the EC300?

Regards,
Christian

7i96 with THCAD-2 setup on Everlast 82i

Category: Plasma & Laser

Hello all. I'm having some issues with getting my THCAD-2 setup with the Everlast 82i. I'm pretty sure I have all the settings correct. I opened the Everlast and set the jumper to the 16:1 divider ratio (as suggested). On the THCAD-2 I used the 10:1 (W1 Up setting) and left the card divider on 1. I used pnfconf to configure the THCAD and got the following settings:

Arc Voltage Offset = 100200.0
Arc Voltage Scale = 0.000299

In Qtplasmac I'm getting a -20 voltage reading instead of 0 V. I set the machine to run a small bit of G code and measured the voltage coming off pins 4,6 from the Everlast. I was getting voltages much higher than the 0-10V range I was expecting. I was seeing 150V+. Additionally, I've connected a 9V batter to the I+ and I- directly on the THCAD-2 and still get no voltage in Qtplasmac.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

analog Servo spins on its own when connected to 7i77

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

UPDATE

okay, I'm feeling ashamed and stupid.

so the servo drives have 5 potentiometers at their front for several adjustments. guess you already know where this is going...

offset 1 and 2
rpm
P as of PID
and current

i already tried to adjust the offsets with zero effect days ago.

turns out you have to turn the potis like 8 times to get an effect from 60% to 0% offset, you can go both directions so like 20 turns at max. in fact I wasn't adjusting hard enough to get an effect.

and to my defense i bought the machines with minor problems and didn't touch the drives before and x-axis was always spinning like crazy, right from the very first start it ran into hardware endstops.

so it was just a drive someone messed with, before I got it, to get the machine running again.

no more spinning on its own. thanks.

I believe this is the intended behavior.

Planning to Retrofit a Mazak Integrex200Y Mill-Turn Machine

Category: Advanced Configuration

Here is the promised sim config:

 

File Attachment:

File Name: mazak-inte...v.tar.gz
File Size:114 KB


To test:
1. unzip
2. 'halcompile --install' the enclosed 'mazak_integrex_200y_kins.comp'
3. start 'mazak-integrex-200y' config and run the preloaded gcode program

Text from the enclosed README file:
Implemented Gcodes:

- 'G67 B': Moves the B-axis to the 'B'-word position and activates 'HALF TCP Lathe' mode.
- 'G68 B (X Y Z)': Moves the B-axis to the 'B'-word position then defines and activates a work plane perpendicular the this current tool orientation with the origin at the current WCS (optionally offset by any [X,Y,Z]-Words). This will change WCS to 'G59' where the transformed work offset values have been written to (ie the prior values stored in G59 will be lost!).
- 'G68.1 (X Y Z)': Defines and activates a work plane perpendicular the the current tool orientation with the origin at the current WCS (optionally offset by any [X,Y,Z]-Words). For change to WCS see 'G68'
- 'G69': Cancels the work plane set by 'G68' and (currently) switches back to 'G54'.



NOTES:

- Tool offsets must only be changed in 'Identity' mode as it may cause sudden joint movements otherwise. (This can be handled in the M6 remap)
- Lathe tools must only be used in 'Identity' or 'HALF TCP Lathe' mode.
- 'HALF TCP Lathe/Mill' modes do not track the C rotation, this is intended behavior.
- Mill tools must only be used in 'HALF/FULL TCP Mill' or 'TWP' mode.
- Due to easier abort handling we currently restrict the use of twp to G54 as LinuxCNC seems to revert to G54 as the default system.
Abort behavior can be handled by using a subroutine defined in the ini file under [RS274NGC]ON_ABORT_COMMAND'.
- The TWP remap code in this config does not implement virtual rotations (ie no optional 'R' word).

If you have any questions, which is likely, just ask.

Change Tool Offsets after editing the Tool Table

Category: Gmoccapy

So try this:
        if "G43" in self.active_gcodes:
            self.command.wait_complete()
            self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
            self.command.wait_complete()
            self.command.mdi("G43")
            self.command.wait_complete()
            self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MANUAL)
            self.command.wait_complete()
        
        self.stat.poll()    
        toolinfo = self.widgets.tooledit1.get_toolinfo(self.stat.tool_in_spindle)
        if toolinfo:
            self.widgets.lbl_tool_no.set_text(str(toolinfo[1]))
            self.widgets.lbl_tool_dia.set_text(toolinfo[12])
            self.halcomp["tool-diameter"] = float(locale.atof(toolinfo[12]))
            self.widgets.lbl_tool_name.set_text(toolinfo[16])

Is this a parallel port setup?

You can control a 5-axis machine with a single parallel port, though doing so is somewhat unconventional.

Not a specific recommendation, but in general I would suggest
hardware with a Intel rather than RealTek Ethernet interface
(as this avoids the needed DKMS driver installation with RealTek
and newer kernels)

Ok great we are getting there.
I'm now betting that these debug lines are showing the problem:
libnml/buffer/shmem.cc 320: Shared memory buffers toolCmd and toolCmd may conflict. (key=1004(0x3EC))
libnml/buffer/shmem.cc 320: Shared memory buffers toolSts and toolSts may conflict. (key=1005(0x3ED))
libnml/buffer/shmem.cc 320: Shared memory buffers emcError and emcError may conflict. (key=1003(0x3EB))

Unfortunately I don't know what would cause this message.
Hopefully someone else will see and help us. I'll look at your INI some more tomorrow.

Mac Pro?
Mac Mini?
Some Apple desktop?
(not Apple Silicon, obviously)

When you want something quiet, Mac is usually what comes to mind fo me.

The machine on button (F2) is purely software for me.

It does not actually switch my machine on or off.
