I've gone through the parity options before but Its been a while

That said, I have not seen  any other parity complaints,

I can try and duplicate this sometime this week but I think it's something more basic

Ok for the stop bits, what about the parity ?

Unlikely, The V2 firmware does not support 2 stop bits and it runs the same
(the driver complains that it cannot set 2 stop bits so drops back to 1 stop bit)

I can try the same setup with 1 stop bit but I doubt that's the issue

Alright, fair enough. I've already purchased a separate supply and a PWM to analog converter. I'll just use the pot on the board to make it send out a max of 7 volts and use the basic stepconf to set up the spindle RPM.

Hello,
I just checked your zip and the only real difference is you use 8N2, I need 8E1 (and 38400 vs 19200bps).
Could that be the problem ?

Thanks !

If a device is not isolated from the power grid, it may cause fatal shock, damage to the electronics or its incorrect operation.
What's worse, it all depends on which wire you connect where.
The machine can operate safely and without failure for years, and when connected to another wall socket, it may burn itself or kill the operator.
To prevent this from happening, all you need to do is spend a few dollars more on an already expensive machine.
I really don't know what to discuss here...

Understood, apologies for hijacking.

Kind Rgds.

This is an open source project and subsequently open source forum, so anything proprietary does not have a place here, as noted by the lack of such section on this forum.
You can show it on the "show your stuff" section, but you must also note the pricing and license terms and conditions, you might also add the link to it, but beware that if that link points to anything remotely suspicious you will be banned, meaning no tracking scripts, no loggers, no permanent cookies, and no collecting user information without their prior consent.
As for free licenses, if anyone is interested you can sort that there, not privately, no private messaging on this forum.

I am sure i do not want anything licensed, but thank you for the offer.

Mesa 7i97T has a 7i83 built in, well it has 1.5 of 7i83 built in for 6 channels, so it is fine to use on plasma machines, also has isolated IO, read the manual.
Same for steppers on Z axis, they are fine as can be proven by over 30 cnc plasma machines i have built and retrofitted, all except two use steppers on Z.
And no, you can not use 6m/m for probing as it will incur to much stress on the torch and the holder and....

Here are the  hal/ini/mbccs files I used for testing:

 

I can check the exact master version but it's quite new
(late last week)

2.9.10 behaves identically

Ok. I represent *******CAM. We are launching in a few days. I wanted to offer a few licenses for free. Did not want to market it so thought of asking a mod. I don't know if you'd take it and who you'd want to give it to. No offense meant and no hard feelings if you refuse.

Kind Rgds,

Makes sense. So I need a separate power supply for this converter? Here is the documentation for my KDIC unit. I'm still a little unsure of what the danger is. I still would like an explanation as to why my HAL file isn't working.

No.
Ask here.

Hi Sir,

Is there an email I can contact any of the moderators on? Apologies for posting this here. It seemed the least intrusive way as there is not pm here.

Kind Rgds,

Hi, I was interested in your testing of Xenomai 4/EVL with LinuxCNC.

I’ve recently been testing the scripts from the xenomai4-linuxcnc project as well, and I got some interesting results — I was able to reduce the tmax values for hm2 read and write.

Could you share what tmax values you are seeing for hm2 read and hm2 write on your system? If possible, together with your servo period (which I assume is around 1 ms), it would be interesting to compare the results and see whether it would actually be worthwhile for you to pursue this further.

Thanks!
