forgot to mention that in halshow i could not see any action on pins the only ones i could see were gpio pins and it listed 50 pins. Just for curiosity i looked at all 50 of the pins and tried activating the limit switchs and saw no change

Startiing on line 34 of hal limits not existing pin does not exist. I commented out all six lines after reltating to non existing pins to get thru with no errors. I checked these pins on TB6 04-09 and they all has voltage of 24v until activated then went to aprox .4v.There may be an issue with the board.
Thanks PCW

Hi thanks for the reply.
I found where it's printed but my question is what could cause the status buffer to be invalid after ~1hr of working flawlessly?
Is it possible it's some sort of hardware/memory corruption issue?

I was at exactly same point yesterday.
Everything runs perfectly until i add the spindle output.
I figured out that the spindle outputs are on the second half of the board which is internally connected by sserial. As I was testing everything on my desk, I just powered the board via the 5V supply. After digging deeper into the manual, I figured out that the field power needs to be applied as well. Some more LED lighted up, board was working

hope this helps

Hi, 
after running our system for a while, sometimes linuxcnc basically stops working, starts acting very weird and i get this in the logs
halui: updateStatus: status buffer is not valid
Can you please help me diagnose this, as I don't event know where to start looking.

No worries, I'm just not sure when that's gonna happen, Scott's not been active in the repo since beginning of January... Tried to reach out by email, no reply...

@grandixximo: I'd like to test it, but I'd rather wait until your changes and optimizations are incorporated into the official repository.
Until then, I'll stick with refClockSyncCycles="-1" for now.

ethernet - i've finished the hardware, but still working on software...

 

I have added 4th axis rotary and 5th axis tilting head, bascially XYZAB configuration. In vismach it moves machine parts (rotary and tilting head) as i move A/B axis. But tool remains at same loaction, it moves on xyz only.

Yes, test in sim for now, I have not run on a machine yet, but sim doesn't look too bad

thanks a lot and 9d branch is now avaible for rip testing with TP2 without spindle sync movement? 

What errors do you have?
 

I made some headway today! I gave up on chasing ghosts in my existing configuration and decided to start all over again. I did a completely new pncconfig barbones setup without limits spindle or home switches. I was successful in getting a installation free of errors yeh!! I was able to get movement on all axis and that was good but no homing or limits that of course was not very good. Started playing around to get limits going until i totally messed up that installation combined with custom ini and hal files. That didn't work. So I started all over again and tryied with limits and estop and probe. Well non of the pins for those limits existed and at this point i cant get the machine to unlock even with no errors. I commented out beginning error lines starting at hal 34. and commented all of those non existing limits in hal. I have 24v at the inputs 04 thru 09 and .4v when the nc switches are activated. I have attached the new ini and hal file to see if anyone can help figure out what is happening. Thanks to all helpers

@automata
Did you run it with bigger jerk limits? Can you share your sim configs?
