The manual covers dynamic braking on page 88. You might need to contact Woods for resistor wiring info.
Here is the link.

file too large to attach.

Docs have the required settings and files that are needed, read through the notes section and make sure you have the folders required in your config folder and the correct in settings.

Try removing slow probe by setting to zero and set fast probe to around 8ipm. You're likely going to slow causing the trigger to bounce physically rather than make a clean break. The work fine as written and are used by thousands of users so I would find the right balance of speed and accuracy.

I think I found the problem. I am using a straight through instead of the cross over Ethernet cable I should be using

thanks for the help

 

Tom, for some reason I never received your last post on 8/11/25. Contact me at 'linux at its-been-a-long dot com" I can help you with most any manual you need.

      True, let me post the files.

I have something with spindle-at-speed in HAL, have not looked into it as I just see this now, and need to sleep.... If possible....

Can now confirm that versaprobe has the same issue for me.

Hi, it may be helpful to share your config.txt, hal and ini files so that we may see your setup.

The following error is generated internally, not by the driver not being enabled. Hence maybe a config issue.

I have the magnetic linear encoders (MSR5000) in front of me. Next to the magnetic (10mm width) tape is a steel tape (10mm width), so which standard aluminium profile would you suggest for mounting it?

works now perfect

The Ethercat Master For Linuxcnc is not an executable file. It says We need to patch and Compile based on our application. ! What are the variables that may vary mainly? Not universal at all? (Looking For a traditional 3 Axis Wood router with Dual Y Motor.)

Sir,
New guy here..!
Thanks for those precious lessons.!!!

  The latest Linux version with Realtime kernel is available as a bootable image on the official site right?
Once I install the OS, Can I directly go for Ethercat Configuration?

I am planning to Use EL7 -400W Ethercat Servo Drive from Leadshine with 23Bit magnetic Encoder.
I hope the ESI File of the Servo drive gives me the encoder Counts per revolution????

I set them Up in INI file right?

How does the "LinuxCNC-HAL ----INI----Ethercat

---

Servo" Drive RelationShip Toplology work?

Traditionally ,I write in the "INI" File that , My servo Drive encoder needs 8million/5=1.6million encoder Counts for a millimeter of travel.
(Because My servo Drive encoder needs 8million counts for every revolution.And my ballscrew travels 5mm at full revolution of the servo)

What happens next?
The INI file sends instruction for  1.6 million counts for 1 millimeter on X axis  if I say G0 X1 in Gcode.

There is no such detailed videos on YT  either..!


Thanks.

 

This isn't a linuxcnc-specific question, more of an electrical/wiring question. The CNC router I am retrofitting has a Woods E-Trac X2C AC inverter powering/controlling the spindle. As I'm re-wiring the machine for my Mesa card & LinuxCNC, I'm trying to make sense of the existing wiring.

The machine is (and was previously) powered by single phase 220V (i.e. North American residential standard). The AC inverter/VFD manual states that either single or three phase wiring can be used. The manual states, "incoming power leads L1, L2, and L3 must run through the ground fault CT before being fastened to the terminals... If operating with single-phase power, use line terminals L1 and L2."  However, on my machine, L1 and L2 do not pass through the current transformer. Instead, there is an Ogden Mighty watt resistor (MXEG03A1493, 250Ω, 400V) wired to some undocumented terminals on the inverter (under the cover) and these leads pass through the current transformer. Can anyone speculate on why this might have been done?
