Changes in configuration files generated in pncconfig for 7i76 to 7i78

Category: PnCConf Wizard

The command you recommended wrote this:
halcmd show all hm2
Loaded HAL Components:
ID Type Name PID State

Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name

Pin Aliases:
Alias Original Name

Signals:
Type Value Name (linked to)

Parameters:
Owner Type Dir Value Name

Parameter Aliases:
Alias Original Name

Exported Functions:
Owner CodeAddr Arg FP Users Name

Realtime Threads:
Period FP Name ( Time, Max-Time )

This works:
halcmd -kf
halcmd: loadrt hostmot2
halcmd: loadrt hm2_rpspi
halcmd: show all hm2

A quick update here! I got my 7I92TM and 7I76U today, and after some swearing at Linux networking I got them flashed and confirmed working via halscope. Thanks all for getting me to this point, I need to request an RMA for the other card as well and get them in the mail.

Thanks again to everyone who's gotten me here. Now that I've got this sorted out and am confident I understand a bit more about Mesa / Hal / etc, I'm going to build out the wiring diagram, which I'll put in my other thread.  

Thanks!

You can also disable motion by setting 'motion.enable' to FALSE but machine state will still be switched to Off.

the relevant code section is here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...tion/control.c#L1465

If it is possible to do this for a specific joint during program execution would have to be explored. I expect that the interpreter would need to restarted at the very least.

No, I added my pins and linked them to jog_increments widget:
[code][code]pin = QHAL.newpin("mpg.mpg-inc.1", QHAL.HAL_BIT, QHAL.HAL_IN)
pin.value_changed.connect(lambda s: self.w.jogincrements_linear.setCurrentIndex(1))
pin = QHAL.newpin("mpg.mpg-inc.2", QHAL.HAL_BIT, QHAL.HAL_IN)
pin.value_changed.connect(lambda s: self.w.jogincrements_linear.setCurrentIndex(2))
pin = QHAL.newpin("mpg.mpg-inc.3", QHAL.HAL_BIT, QHAL.HAL_IN)
pin.value_changed.connect(lambda s: self.w.jogincrements_linear.setCurrentIndex(3))
pin = QHAL.newpin("mpg.mpg-inc.cont", QHAL.HAL_BIT, QHAL.HAL_IN)
pin.value_changed.connect(lambda s: self.w.jogincrements_linear.setCurrentIndex(0))


[code][code][code]But I would like to be able to enable/disable the increment selection from the screen, only showing the current value. Perhaps there is a way to disable the drop-down menu or something like that.

Changes in configuration files generated in pncconfig for 7i76 to 7i78

Category: PnCConf Wizard

Thanks for the answer. There is one 7i78 -> P1 connected to 7c81, one optocoupler board on P7 and when I know how to do it, one 7i73. Why not pncconf for 7i76 but G540? It's more similar to 7i78. So with that encoder it means that it doesn't matter where and what encoder I choose, just change the name in .hal according to your example? Sorry for the question, will it be clear that it is a spindle encoder? Although it may be a stupid question, 7i78 has only one encoder and it is for the spindle... In the manual for 7c81 the encoder is marked as ENCA+, ENCA-, ENCB+, ENCB-, IDX+, IDX-. I don't know how it will look in .hal, because pncconf does not have the option to configure the 7c81 board. Well, with the list of parameters, it's clear, but as I already wrote, I'm completely lost and it's going slowly :).

MPG and analog command config issue was created by vibram

MPG and analog command config issue

Category: Basic Configuration

Hello I try to setup a mill with all servo drives run with analog command and it's working fine.

However, now I try to setup a MPG
after customizing the HAL file, here is the situation:
the MUX is correctly working for the scale and the axis.x.jog-scale is correct (value from 0.01 to 1mm)
axis.x.jog-enable works fine, same for Y and Z
axis.x.jog-counts works fine, I can see the number of pulses moving when I turn the handle
axis.x.jog-accel-fraction is set to 1

When using Axis interface with the and - button, it works fine
However; when I turn the handle, the axis is not moving at all, I don't have any error message.E-stop is off and Toggle Machine power if ON obviously. 

Any idea what could be the issue?
thank you

Ethercat drives not responding, mesa error finishing read

Category: EtherCAT

There is no way to read an SDO value into hal as far as I know.
But as you say it wouldn't be too hard to write a user-space hal component in python
the runs the command "ethercat -p n upload 0x2608 0", parses the output and returns a value.
I mean, in principle.

7i76eud.bin firmware did the trick. Interesting this firmware does not show up in the MesaCT list when using the Configuration Tool. It was in the /lib/firmware/hm2/ folder but it was not showing up in the drop down list.

EtherCAT servo as main spindle

I noticed that if I disable the machine the joint.0.motor-pos-cmd tracks the joint.0.motor-fb. So I set up a new hal file with only one cia402 and no cia402pv. Because you can't change the mode of the cia402 while LinuxCNC is running, I change between CSP and CSV by writing directly into the mode of the frequency drive via EtherCAT.

In CSP mode cia402.0.pos-fb -> joint.0.motor-pos-fb. 
In CSV mode joint.0.motor-pos-cmd -> joint.0.motor-pos-fb.

So I have no following error in CSV mode, but I need to change the position before changing from CSV back to CSP or I can turn the machine off and back on again. I built a network with mux2, oneshot and flipflop to toggle the machine for a very short amount and to reset all my mode switching logic. This works surprising well and isn't noticable.

I know that this soultion is not good and only works for my usecase because I only have one servo and nothing gets interrupted by the power cycle.

The bigger problem is that my gcode file gets stopped aswell and I can't resume. Maybe there is a way by tracking the executed lines and then starting from there... But I'm not happy with the power cycle solution in the first place.

Is there any other situation where joint.0.motor-pos-cmd tracks joint.0.motor-fb?

Looks like you got the pin name wrong. Try removing the 'gladevcp.' at the beginning.
