No difference between the two here. Chasing "Net Zero" is pushing up prices everywhere, killing industries, especially anything to do with getting metals from ores. I'm almost starting the to those in charge don't actually want the population to build anything, except for housing that will built by imported Indians trained to be builders.......yeah that'll work. Yes they are targeting Indians nationals for this.
Short of houses, lets bring in more people to build houses...that will need more houses, bring some more people to bring in more houses....that will need more houses...rinse & repeat.

Those figures look pretty good, where did you get your kernel from or did you build it yourself.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Seems like there is indeed a lot of fine tuning or trial and error necessary.

Even with limits set to 99999, this happens; and on one system, I also got the probe error, although my „probe flipflop“ was held in reset.

So far, my first working setup >2.8.4 is the RPi/7c81 combo,
but with that working, I hope to find some time to learn more about your proposals for the Ethernet solution.


Thx,

Kudos go out to all who made this possible:  
60000+ probes for now, during the last 24 hours, with an RPi5, 7c81 and the brand new 2.9.7.  
Zero issues, so far.    \o/

While probing, this thing now also runs a VNC server in the background,  
I am connected via VPN; it’s streaming music and also downloading a random  
10GB image file in a web browser.  

Pretty good latency too. Comparable to a decent RTAI setup, imho.  

Still some extra steps, as described here,  
  forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuratio...rol-is-choppy#332726  
and this "xset -r“ drives me crazy, bc I have to use the keyboard until I managed to get the handwheel working.

 

I consider it the fog of war. It gets harder and harder to differentiate between government and criminals.
I leave it to each individual to figure out the definition of each. 

Yeah I wasn't into EFI on bikes, until I got a 2000 M900......so easy to start

Well those that fell for he covid thing have only got themselves to blame. If more had of stood up.

But hey guess what the "conspiracy theorists" were right.

I made a diagram. Here's how it works. When power is applied to the set input, the coil turns on and remains on, but it does not glow red, but its additional contacts glow. Accordingly, powering the reset input turns it off.

It is unreasonable not having several PC's these days, have work stuff separate from fun stuff and those separate from gaming stuff, etc etc, since the used PC's are very cheap and Linux is perfectly usable on them.

Hilariously in the early 2000's I didn't really care for computers I liked carburetors over EFI though over time that has changed. I have built
and installed multiple MegaSquirt EFI computers  mid 2000's I got my first Windows XP Laptop. It wasn't until mid 2010's that I started
looking into CNC and eventually multiple Linux installs on Desktops and Laptops though I still feel like a noob with mountains of
learning still ahead. 
  It is however very disheartening to see the direction the world has been pushed post Covid. 

 

The parts I makes typically requires double side machining and the Z thickness and flat over X-Y plane are two critical parameters.
I can measure my vice jaw flatness using Z probe over 4 corners as within 5~10um error. And there is tramming error that accounts <10um error over tip to tip in Y direction depending on the tool size. 
And here are my procedures to make the parts.
1. Create fixture on vice. Check flatness <10um variation corner to corner.
2. Prepare stock surfacing on vice on both sides
3. Does backside machining on vice
4. Flip and attach it to fixture on vice then front side machining
After this, typical error in thickness over corners are now in 100um range. I don't know where they are coming from and how to improve. My goal is to get to ~50um or less range.
Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks
 

I know it’s been a couple of years, but since this is the top Google search result for this topic, I’ve finally put something together.

Here is a tool usage track for LinuxCNC  it used the existing tool db api code to get the information it uses.  It does take the place of the current linuxCNC tool table so be aware of this.

It tracks tool usage time (somewhat accurate, +/-3 sec) it's also not super accurate with drilling.

There's also a tool  retirement feature and  tool UID tagging so tool wear and breaks can be tracked.

The attached Debian also contains all the source to build this, and it's MIT so have at it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

 INSTALL THE PACKAGE

---

Install with dpkg:
  sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-db-tool_1.0.0_amd64.deb

This installs:
  /usr/local/bin/db_tool           - Main daemon
  /usr/local/bin/db_tool_manager   - GUI manager
  /usr/local/bin/db_tool_monitor   - GUI viewer
  /usr/local/share/linuxcnc-db-tool/ - Documentation & examples

STEP 3: CONFIGURE LINUXCNC

---

Edit your LinuxCNC INI file and add:

  [EMCIO]
  DB_PROGRAM = /usr/local/bin/db_tool /path/to/your/tool_table.tbl

Example:
  [EMCIO]
  DB_PROGRAM = /usr/local/bin/db_tool /home/cnc/linuxcnc/configs/my_mill/tool.tbl

STEP 4: START LINUXCNC

---

Start LinuxCNC as normal. The tool database daemon will:
Start automatically
Launch the GUI manager (if enabled)
Begin tracking tool usage

 

Florida actually. Though probably about the same governmental mind set as Texas. LOL

Not sure what the issue is, it works for me (LinuxCNC 2.9.4).
did you choose a lathe XZ configuration at the beginning?

Also note that stepgen 5 is used for the charge-pump
so you need to enable al 6 stepgens to have that available

 

I tried pulling up multiple video's today on my Linux and windows 10 laptops and every single time no matter the video
it requested that I log in to view the videos. Video's that played just fine yesterday (tutorials on Tkinter) now request
that I log in. whether it's official policy is immaterial. It's the fact that it's happening.

ihavenofish If you're able to watch YouTube without logging in then perhaps there is some technical aspect in the mix
that I don't know about, region, country, municipality, internet provider. ect. any of the above could be it. 
 I will try my machines when I get home and see if there is a difference.

OK, now this makes sense. yes, this will be country - or likely state - specific. You happen to be in texas? I know they just implements some form of this.

This isn't youtube's fault though, this is the government of wherever you live. They just have to follow the laws.
 

Nice, i am glad.

You have 1 active PWM generator but no pin out for it chosen, so either set the PWM number to 0 or select a pin for spindle PWM
