sd-image would be nice

Just wondering if you've been making any progress on the pressbrake gui?  I just got the press I'm working on moving today and I was going to start working on an interface, but I thought I'd check in on this first before I start from scratch.

Running linuxcnc 2.9.10 with linuxcncrsh loaded. When a client connects and executes a get spindle or get spindle_override command, linuxcncrsh crashes with segmentation fault.

This is the line in custom.hal.

linuxcncrsh started like this

These are the commands on the client side.

Got things working, badly.

Turns out the sub-folders have to be named the same as the .ui files.

And the user_atc_buttons MUST remain 'template_user_atc_buttons' as that seems to be hard-coded somewhere - maybe in probe_basic.py

Next problems:

• Sidebar tab is appearing in the main window
• Neither user tabs (main or sidebar) are labeled

Hi Tim if you can post the Gerbers or Kicad that would be useful since Riocore is a open source project.

The software/Gateware is open source; as for the hardware, it’s up to each individual. It can certainly be closed source and used commercially.

 

Ofcourse I already have the TangoBOB.  My post was only to see if Tim's board was not a comercial product.  It is wess designed your dedication is commendable.
Thanks K Zali

Thanks Tim

I already have a Tangobob. I just comented on this forum for others. Your board is very well designed.

warm regards

I am compiling kernel with RT patch and hostmot2 bitstream for board. Install linuxCNC in headless config, all main modules works, except smartserial, now working on it. LinuxCNC 2.9 , hostmot2 FPGA from Zboard .. If interesting can share Vivado 2025.2 project and SD card image.

On my VMC that I retrofit, Im running lcnc 2.8.0 (did so a few years back), using AXIS... ive had an intermittent problem of axis completely freezing while the machine continues to operate, but not able to use any keyboard input and having to estop and kill axis via taskmanager to restart the machine.
I would consider this hugely dangerous... anyone else have an issue like this?
Its been especially long programs where the toolpath display has had to remove previous run path highlights as it goes that have caused this issue.
Lcnc 2.8.0, mesa 7i76e, dell touchscreen, i5 something or other with 8gb ram. edit: running on linux mint 19.1
Stable for short parts very well, but running long programs has now got me a little scared.

Is this one of those times where an upgrade is warranted?

you are right, but i see almost any buttons of my keyboard,

Sounds like you are not acually grabbing the right device.
What GUI are you using? Gmoccapy offers the option to disable keyboard shortcuts.

Thank you so much for looking in to this.

I'll test in the next few days on my machine and report back.  You want results here or on GH?

(LCNC 2.9.8, new APT develop installation of Probe Basic)

Trying to get all the user buttons, ATC buttons, user tabs, etc to show up and I'm struggling.  PB starts up ok.

Edited INI file:
Copied all the template folders to my config folder.

Edited the copied template UI files slightly so I could see if 'my' versions were loading, but left them named 'template_user_nnn..."

Started PB and no user main/sidebar tabs were present.  User button area was empty/blank, as was the ATC user button area.

Is there something else I have to edit?  Any of the .py files need paths or file renaming?

TANDEM Y AXIS CLOSED LOOP STEPPER MOTOR OSCILLATION WHEN IDLE

Hello all, 

threre is a stepper motor ticking issue going in my cnc mill that has been bothering me for a while now. I have devoted a fair amount of effort trying to "trial and error" my way out of it by playing around with tuning parameters but i cant reach a satisfactory solution, so hopefully someone here can provide some much needed assistance or reference to a similar case if the topic has already been covered before.

CONTROL SETUP DESCRIPTION
In my setup i use a rpi4b as the linuxcnc host along with an EC300 bob in which i have flashed the 3.1.3 version of the remora firmware for the RT1052 processor. Rpi and EC300 exchange packets over ethernet. 4 integrated closed loop stepper motors are driven by the the EC300 board using the corresponding STEP/DIR pins. Feedback from the motor's encoder does not reach linuxcnc so it essentially acts an an open loop system.

INITIAL ISSUE DESCRIPTION
In the capture5.txt i have recorded the following signals of J1 (one of the two joints driving the Y axis, the other is J3) in the servo_thread period while the joint reached the idle state after executing a jog command in my initial attempts to get my machine going.

1st column       : j1pos-cmd
2nd column      : j1pos-fb
3rd column       : j1freq-cmd

at the time of the recording J1 was configured this way (scale and the rest of the dynamic parameters remained the same to my current configuration) :

• remora.joint.1.pgain = 5
• remora.joint.1.ff1gain = 1
• remora.joint.1.deadband = 0.02

having all of the above parameters configured in the .hal file, the joint could not reach a steady state even though a single step equals to 0.0016 mm as you can see in the screenshot which is way below the deadband specified. The pos_cmd was constant but apparently a freq_cmd was calculated and sent to the EC300 that lead to the oscillation (how is that possible that the deadband gets defeated??).

CURRENT STATUS

In the attached .ini, .hal , remora-config-file.txt you can see how my machine is currently configured. Apparently by not specifying a p_gain and ff1_gain they both default to 1 according to the remora-eth-3.0.c  and with a deadband of 0.005 the Y axis is able to reach a steady state. The reason i am not satisfied is because the motion isn't smooth when approaching the final position, instead the motors "click" in place after a few steps and the axis makes a squeeking noise. When i try to modify the gain parameters to smooth the axis i roll back to the initial issue of not being able to reach a steady state. 

Probably i did a poor job explaining the chronicle of my situation but hopefully i ll be able to further clarify in follow up questions.
Thank you






 

Hallo,
ich arbeite an meiner "Simulationsdrehbank" immer etwas weiter. Ich habe jetzt noch einen Spindelencoder eingebaut. An der 7I96
habe ich folgende Anschlüsse: +5V, Gnd, EncA+, EncA-, EncB+, EncB-, Index+ und Index-. Mein Encoder hat nur +5V, Gnd, KanalA,
KanalB. Kann ich den trotzdem benutzen? Kann ich den so anschließen:
+5V         >     +5V
Gnd         >     Gnd
EncA+     >      KanalA
EncB+     >      KanalB       ?
MfG
Hans

sorry i didnt get a notification

tool diameter is 10mm

N2 T1 M6
N3 G43 H1
N4 G64 P0.010
N5 S10000 M03
N6 G0 X50.000 Y-30.500 Z20.000
N7 G0 Z0.000
N8 G1 X55.500 F2000 G41
N9 G3 X50.000 Y-25.000 I-5.500 J0.000
N10 G1 X-50.000
N11 G3 X-55.500 Y-30.500 I0.000 J-5.500
N12 G1 X-50.000 G40
N13 G0 Z20.000

also i had read the documentation and also tried to compensate the tool diameter to the right but it will never do the compensation move that i need. i will see if i can use #5410 for my postprocessor so i dont need to use g41/42 ever again.
