OK that's not going to work as most of the pin names are wrong.

I would suggest using pncconf (choosing 7I76e) and starting over making a new configuration.
(7I76E hal/ini configurations are identical to 7I76EU hal/ini configuration)

pncconfs default values are correct for most things 

Do not use AI for this as its just a huge time sink

 

I understand the personal choice of RJ45 over the M23 connector. That's also why my design had a RJ45 connector included as a secondary input from the very beginning. My PCB supports a standard 2.54 mm 2x5 pin header or a sensor input via RJ45. The pin header is meant to be used with the M23 connectors shown in my last post.
You can get these M23 connectors really cheap on AliExpress - i got mine here for 7 $ each: de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006649703485.html)

I'm writing one more exam next week, after that's done I'll order the first batch of PCBs. My primary goal was to be able to use any kind of encoder signal with future glas scales. At the moment i could use either a glas scale via 1V, 11µA or TTL, with the latter i wouldn't need the interpolator/converter board. I'll keep you posted

current Hal and Ini files attached.  i attempted to replace 7i76 with 7i76e or 7i76eu but it didn't like that either so i've kept everything as is.
Thanks
 

 I bought and received the same type of pendant just a couple of days ago. And I saw the same issue. It appears that the machine-is-on pin needs to be true for XHC-WHB04B-6 to change the counts. And you also need to press the Step button first, as opposed to "Continuous".

I don't remember the exact pin name right now, maybe just whb.machine-is-on, or whb.halui.machine-is-on. You need to set that to true for the counts to actually count (based on my very limited troubleshooting).
 

Very cool project PedPEx! It looks like we had a lot of similar ideas for our interpolator boards!

The reason for the RJ45 pinout I use is that it allows for using standard ethernet cable, where the twisted pairs in the cable will be matched to each signal pair (SIN, COS, REF, PWR/GND). But in my design, I made a small polarity mistake, and the zero/reference signal polarity is opposite to the other signal pair. It would be better if pins 4 and 5 were swapped in my pinout. Signal-wise, it makes little difference, but looking at ethernet cable wire colors, the zero signal is the wrong way around compared to the rest.

And as to why I don't use M23 instead of R45. I agree that M23 is a very nice connector. And pricey. I don't exactly recall the prices, but certainly above 20€/connector. On the other hand, shielded ethernet jacks/plugs are not given away for free either. Another reason for me is also that I use normal cable glands for my (heavily modified) electrical cabinet. Gettting RJ45 connectors through cable glands is not all that nice, but easier than M23. Or you could use RJ45 "bulkhead" connectors instead of normal glands.

If I make another version of my board, I'm pretty sure I will change the design to use transimpedance amplifiers to convert the 11 µApp current signals to 1 Vpp signals. It would make measurements extremely much more convenient, and also low pass filtering easier. At the same time, the boards could be used with 1 Vpp scales by simply leaving the transimpedance amplifiers out (my current design can also use 1 Vpp scale). And I would most likely move over to surface mount for pretty much all components.

There does seem to be quite much interest for sin/cos interpolators.

In other news, I have my machine reassembled and up and running. I will post some more info about this once I find some time.

Hallo 
Bei mir Eckt es wieder mit meiner Linuxcnc . Ich wollte die Werkzeug Längenmessung Installlieren. Habe das Video von Talla genommen und alle Einstellungen gemacht aber leider kein Erfolg. Ein Kollege der nicht von mir weit Wohnt hat es auch versucht auch ohne Erfolg. Danach hat er das Gmoccapy Innstalliert ist zuerst auch nicht gegangen da immer wieder Achs Positsion Fehler gekommen sind. Nach wechsel des Netzteil (hatte 500mV) auf 2 A ist der Fehler nicht gekommen Wechsel wird durch geführt. Nur hätte ich gerne meine Oberfläche (Probebasic) was muß man ändern? Es gibt bei diesen Programm schon eine Einrichtung für die Werkzeug Vermessung, nur scheint diese nicht Freigeschaltet zu sein. Ein Viedeo gibt es auch nur habe ich keine Einstellungen HAL und INI gesehen. Kann mir eine Einstellung der Der Dateien zu Vefügung stellen?
Für eure Hilfe wäre ich Dankbar.
Gruß Hans

Thank you.

I do have, new newer used THK rails sitting in the shop, namely:
2 of 780mm long 35mm wide rails with 4 of long and narrow carriages, roughly 150mm long
2 of 360mm long 30mm wide rails with 2 of short and narrow carriages
More info if you think you can use them, and might be able to ship to you at the end of August.
I do have 2 more of used THK45 rails and 2 carriages 1 long and short, rails one is 1250mm and the other should be around 700mm. Pretty rough condition but no play.

Hello,

I'm on LinuxCNC 2.9.4 on Debian. I want to invert the jogging sense of the X axis on a lathe, so that when I rotate the pendant wheel clockwise, the X axis moves in the X- direction. I just changed this in the vc-p1as.hal:

net jog.0.cont-minus  vc-p1as.jog.0.minus  => halui.axis.x.minus halui.joint.0.plus
net jog.0.cont-plus vc-p1as.jog.0.plus => halui.axis.x.plus halui.joint.0.minus

(On the first line I changed to .plus at the end and in the second I put .minus at the end)

This works only for the Velocity mode. In Step mode, the clockwise rotation moves the axis in the X+ direction.

How can I change the X axis direction in Step mode?

One year ago the X axis was moving in the direction I wanted in both Step and Velocity modes (probably on 2.9.2, I don't know anymore). I don't think this is related, but I moved from a parallel port to a mesa card. With only a very basic knowledge of the HAL, I commented out the halui. signal section in the taig_lathe_v2.hal file to make the pendant work.

I'm attaching the relevant files.

Thanks

7I76EU pin names are identical to 7I76E names

Can you post your current hal/ini files?

I wanna note: It looks kinda professionally done, but its not. I'm in the luck of having a father in law that owns the place (he is a mason by profession) and i can use the place and the incredible useful overhead crane. Without that it would be impossible. For other projects i used the good old engine hoist in my garage, but for this machine it is just to small.

I will update as soon as there is any progress done.

1. Need to solve the guide rail problem
2. Ways need to be reground and scraped. Including the gibs.
3. Ballsrews need to be serviced
4. Milling spindle needs to be repaired
5. CLEANING

Yeah, sorry about that, made a quick change in the V2 version, and had a typo
that broke 7I96 input 0

EDIT:

Note that the 7i96sd_mpgp1 firmware has a different pinout on P1 and not a close match
to the common wired MPGs. I just fixed and re-uploaded the 7i96sd_inmp1v2 firmware
if that's more appropriate (and the  7i96sd_inmp1v1 firmware was always OK )
