What problem?
None of the above are problems, you can set homing pretty much as you like or need or see fit.

Yes that is for parallel port only.
I have to ask, why are you messing with these settings?
What are you trying to do?
What is working and what not?
For configuration you should have asked in the Remora topic, might get better help there.

I seem to of been wrong about converting the ST-link to DAP. I just went back and watched the video again and there were originally 2 steps in doing the conversion, but there is the post below that video - forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/44828-rem...rd?start=2050#321860 - that says to just use that one file?

I am now very confused and the computer says the converted ST link is an unrecognized device and it does not show up. I can not communicate with the link plugged into the USB

At this point I truly do not know what to do.
 

It might be easiest to buy one for a few $$ on Amazon or Ebay.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The log you shared is from the Python script, but the important part happens on the EC300 board side.

I can do it, but I need to get hold of a USB to RS232 adapter first. Should have it next week

I have those same servos, but the problem is that they don't measure correctly, and the circles turn out oval. How do I adjust the servos?

im using a wireless xbox controller for PC. It is working fine

version 2.9

I will Check again.
and let you know. Is there a terminal command to see witch version is installed?

Best regards,
Ben

Indeed if you set acceleration to 200, the scurve max acceleration will be 400 at inflection point.
Exceeding your max acc off 240.

I get the same error even if all accelerations are set to 100 in the ini file

Hi! This is a lathe with Lichuan Ethercat and mesa 7i96s servodrivers for controlling the spindle with a mesa digital potentiometer mesa processes three encoders, one spindle and two linear for each axis, and it seems to work fine. I was even able to thread the G76 cycle.
I use absolute encoders how do I set up the machine so that the position of the machine is automatically read from the drivers when the machine is turned on?

I don't understand if I have to add something about the hal file, I found this:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/stepgen.9.html
stepgen.1.dirsetup
stepgen.1.dirhold
stepgen.1.steplen
stepgen.1.stepspace

I also found this but I don't know where to put the parameters, I know that this gui is only for the parallel port or am I wrong?

Found out why it delays when switching on.
The stepper driver (HBS57) is disabled by a 3.5V signal to the ENA+/- ports.
When you enable the driver by pulling the voltage signal (directly or via the pulse gen PCB), apparently it takes a bit of time for the driver to react.
This also happens when using a different 5V powersupply.

It does react instantly when you re-apply the 3.5V to the ENA+- ports, instantly stopping the motion.

If I can invert the ENA (Enabled) signal in the driver software, I can switch the opposite by relay to apply a voltage to enable the driver instead of disabling it. But I could get an issue stopping the driver in time if I do that.

I have to figure out how to connect to the driver, never done that before.
 

Chaka!
Today I tested the new i7 Tiny PC Lenovo m910q with previously shown pings and latency, and the machine seems to work fine. Ok, I just made an air milling over 10 minutes, but the whole code went through without motor-position errors. I tried full G0 with 7,5m/min and normal milling feeds with 3,5m/min, no errors anymore.
BTW- WLAN connection was active during the process, without activity, but former constellations had bad influence on ping and latency.
I hope, this is my final post regarding latency and pings. I learned a lot about settings.

Big Thank you to all of you for sharing your knowledge and for helpful comments!
Happy greetings, Hanno

I see that I've updated the information related to the AX5800 card. Now I have some questions:
I see that I created some enable pins. I assume they are to enable the output of each of the step generators. In the XML file for LINUXCNC, these pins appear as BIT, but I don't know how to configure them correctly in the EEPROM generator file. Bit variables don't appear there. In that same file it appears
<pdoEntry idx="6001" subIdx="01" bitLen="32" halPin="Frequency" halType="float-ieee"/>
</pdo>
<pdo idx="1a01">
<pdoEntry idx="6001" subIdx="01" bitLen="8" halPin="DI1" halType="u32"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6001" subIdx="02" bitLen="8" halPin="DI2" halType="u32"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6001" subIdx="03" bitLen="8" halPin="DI3" halType="u32"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6001" subIdx="04" bitLen="8" halPin="DI4" halType="u32"/>

It's not clear to me what function those DI pins have and how they are programmed in the EEPROM generator.
