Using a 7i92t as replacement for a parallel port

Category: Driver Boards

Look like the scaling is wrong on the X Axis ( max velocity is .1666 mm/s )

If there is an issue with pncconfs scaling helper, you could just calculate
the steps per mm and enter that directly.

The PID boilerplate is fine.

To setup pin 16 for spindle control you need to set the number of stepgens to
3 or 2 in pncconf to free up pin 16 as GPIO 5. I would also set the number of pwmgens
and encoders to 0, then hit "Accept components changes" to free up all GPIO
for any other outputs or inputs you need:


 


GPIO outputs need to be set to "GPIO Output" in the pin type menu:

Using a 7i92t as replacement for a parallel port

Category: Driver Boards

Thank you unknown, that's very important information. I noticed that the card came with the W1 and W2 jumpers in pull-up mode. I moved them to pull-downs. 
Hardware-wise, I'm closer to my goal. 

Now, regarding software configuration. I used pncconf to generate a configuration using 7i92t_g540d.bin, since pncconf does not show the firmware that corresponds to what I need (in the stepconfs, dir and step are swapped). The firmware that matches the lathe is 7i92t_benezanx2d.bin.

Can anyone review my hal and ini files (attached) and tell me how to handle swapping the dir and step pins? After the hal is corrected, I assume I need to flash the benezan firmware, right?

Also, if someone can suggest how to clean up those files... I only need to control the pins I mentioned when I opened this topic (see top).

I may need to come back later about the PID stuff and the scale calculation. One of the issues I found in pncconfig is that the pitch can only be a value >= 1, I needed to enter a value of 0.8 mm/rev.

Error when saving postion offsets in the offsets tab

Category: QtPyVCP

Hey peeps. I have searched the Internet and cant find an answer. I have hooked up absolute encoders and when I try to save the current position G54 on the offsets page I get the error bad character a used. Any idea what's going on? I can losd the table and clear it, but cant save it. 

Not sure if this is a pb thing or a linuxcnc thing. I read that when himing for the first time with absolute encoders i need to save the home position by zeroing the axis and saving the cirrent position to the offsets tab.

Many thanks

Control linuxcnc by FT sensor (external force)?

Category: Advanced Configuration

I tried Jogwheel to move the robot and encountered a problem. If I move a single axis, it's good, but if I move multiple axes at the same time, it won't be smooth because they are not synchronized.

Flex Gui preset buttons

Category: Flex GUI

I have some override preset buttons for  feed_percent_ , rapid_percent_,  spindle_percent_
I'm still doing simulation.Only on a MDI axis movement or run a program, if one of those buttons pressed, it doesn't release 
for about 5 seconds, and the DRO doesn't update for the same period. Otherwise it switches instantly. There is no plotter at the moment.

and more:
_To display 'rotation_xy_lb' (returns float), i am unable to set precision to 3 digits. Depending on calculation, it is filling the label.

_Is there something similar to bool label, but to display a .png? For spindle is on, or spindle at speed and others it would be a good alternative to text.

K2 Retrofit with pico systems servo amplifier and encoders using 7i95t

Category: Advanced Configuration

Yes, PWM is digital.

When I say voltage mode this means that the (average) motor voltage
is proportional to the PWM duty cycle..

This type of drive behaves like a velocity mode servo because the motor speed
is more or less directly proportional to the PWM duty cycle. That is why it is tuned
similarly to a velocity mode servo, where FF1 play a key role.

Trouble with LinuxCNC and Gantry stepper motor setup.

Category: Computers and Hardware

Ahhh,

When you say run y axis and a axis in tandem do you mean you have a 4th rotary axis (for cutting pipe) or just have 2 motors on the gantry that you need to move together?

For the first see my comment above......
For the second

Make a new config, select your "a axis" as tandem Y.

You will need homing switches on each of the 2 y axis so the joints can square themselves before becoming an axis. Once they are homed both will move at the same time and jog like normal.

No gcode changes for this one.

Using a 7i92t as replacement for a parallel port

Category: Driver Boards

The 7i92t has 17 signal pins that are on the same pins as a parallel port. The gnd pins are on the same pins as well. So yes electrically it is the same.
The only thing is that some ground pins can be jumpered to supply 5v, the manual explains this.
The major difference being, your are not locked into pin direction as you are with a parallel port. The pin function (direction) is controlled by the bitfile loaded into the card.
So yes if a system previously used a parallel port, the 7i92t can with a suitable config be a "drop in replacement" with Linuxcnc. With the bonus of having an extra 17 Io pins on the second connector, so one could think of it as replacing 2 parallel ports.
Obviously one can not use it to actually connect to a printer to print.
If you compared the pinout on the ports of the 7i92t with that of a parallel port you will see the pins that have IO are connected physically to the same pins on a parallel port, as are the gnd pins,with the exception of those pins on the 7i92t that can be jumpered to supply 5v instead of being gnd pins.

Unfortunately my pi4 in the machine died. The 7c81 seems fine, i even reflashed the 7c81 with the right bitfile, just to be sure, no errors. So i switched to a pi5, but the previously working config gives me an error.

spi in the kernel config is activated.

Any ideas?

Hi, I’d like to ask — which version of LinuxCNC and kernel are you currently running?

Hi Uwe,
ich befinde mich auf einem ähnlichen Weg wie du. Ich integriere gerade meine Spindel und Servos iHSv57 über Ethercat, die Motoren und die Spindel lassen sich ansteuern, sind aber noch nicht eingerichtet. Dein Problem verstehe ich nicht so ganz, da cia402 fast die komplette Integration des Motion Systems händelt und du da garnicht mehr viel machen musst. PID musst du einstellen am Gerät über die RS232 Schnittstelle am Drive (USB Port) mit Hilfe der Software von JMC.

Grüße,
Pascal

Using a 7i92t as replacement for a parallel port

Category: Driver Boards

After more research, RTFM, watching videos, I finally managed to produce a configuration with pncconf, but I doubt it will work. The question still remains:

If I have the proper configuration, can I connect the DB25 male connector from the lathe's control box directly to the DB25 female connector of the 7i92? I'm still thinking in very simple terms: the 7i92 can completely emulate the behaviour of a parallel port (including, IOs and GND pins).

Sorry if my questions show my ignorance, I'm trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
