Have you set up this drive ?
Performs well ?

Hello Rod,
Tank you so much for your answer.
yes of course, i know .... i am 2 versions behind.
If you has fixed in the new version 2.10 ... its possible to get the source code of the driver of the XHC-WHB04B-6 ?
I think this is for me faster like a complete new installation and new configuration of the Machine.
Thank you so much.
Best regards
Reinhard

Its way more easy. You can connect two hardware inputs to the probe-input without having to choose the specific one. As long as you do not disconnect for example the 3d probe and having a active probe signal by that.

In this case you can have a workaround and setting the input of the 3d probe to a ignored one while not having a specific tool in the machine. So for example 3d Probe is tool 1 and tool 1 is not in the machine -> disable the hw input of the 3d probe.

Hallo wie sehe ist die 7i84u eine Serielle Karte , ich habe aber an meiner 7i96s schon ein Serielles Handrad (Talla83 , Simples Handrad).
Wie kann ich die 7i84u mit Anschliesen ?
 

yes, but please try it first, it's experimental !

Oh wait a minute, so you can have more than one extra FPGA? Alright then looks like I need to order some more Tang's.

Hi, everyone.

I have a trouble getting LinuxCNC work about homing  with Lichuan LC10E Servo drive.

My LinuxCNC System can move XYZ GCode with CSP Mode.
But I could not use homeing function.
I believe I should use cia402_homecomp.
I tried configurate my ini, hal, xml to use cia402_homecomp manually, using LC10E-driver's homing function,  but I failed to work it so far.

I hope, I can find any configuration about this library as a example.
Are there any LinuxCNC configuration files about it ? 

Thanks.


 

i am sorry, it was some time ago. I believe that you can customize PDOs as you need.

A grounded steel enclosure is not the best place to be emitting radio signals from.

Nowadays just about any wifi dongle will work, but it will need an external antennae.

Should a good starting point for usable wifi adapters, anything that works with Debian Bookworm will work.

If you need extra help I'm located in Sydney as well.

Currently, this GPU is quite out of stock. In China, the price is approximately $40.

Hi all,

I'm just starting out with EtherCAT, and I'm trying to configure my Servo drives. Looking at some example configs, I often see dcconf and/or watchdog tags with varying parameters.

Would somebody be so kind to explain in simple words what those lines do? Are they mandatory or just for optimization? Where do I find the correct parameters for my drives (Hiwin ED1 400W)?

A link to a good documentation of those tags would probably also be fine, I didn't find good info yet...

Cheers,
Matthias

Steel, 400 x 600 x 190.
See attached (poor) photo showing RPi hanging in space:
Row 1: stepper drivers,
Row 2: RPi stacked on Mesa, I/O PSU,
Row 3: 12 Vdc relays, Mesa core PSU,
Row 4: Terminals,
Side: stepper sockets, hole for monitor+keyboard+mouse cables, GPO for monitor + RPi.
Terminals and cables as appropriate, much neater generally.

I have a virtually identical cubicle with some electrical equipment in it.
Stripping and testing should begin next week.

The RPi 4GB and L2.9.2 need to go back to their day job of cutting metal.

(SOLVED)

I compared V1.04 and V1.11 EEPROM Files.
And tried to understand configuration files.
I found my cnc configurations were mixed for V1.04 and V1.11.

Lichuan sales person said, we should use V1.11 with LinuxCNC for some reason.

Now servo lock is working by pressing PowerOn button.

Have a look at 'extra joints':
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html

The maximum number of joints is 16.

Alrighty!

Drives and motors arrived. Setup a bench test rig. 

I've made it as far as getting the encoders to read in LCNC (scale seems right). Unfortunately I'm getting following errors when I try enabling the drive. I can hear the drive enable relay latch very briefly. 

I've followed Tommylights guide, but can't get too far when it errors straight out of the gate. Im also getting a "could not switch machine on, is limit switch activated". I currently have no IO assigned. 

I suspect my wiring is at fault or I'm really missing the mark with my initial PID numbers - I've tried a bunch so far, even with giant max f errors.
Schematic below. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
