you are in right but nor have tc3 avaiable now .... and not interested in license buy.

more late try if pdos command sho sometings ... i have some doubt .... they are strage unit ....

Well, I think I made it work by simply commenting out the very last move in the auto tool probe ngc.

My rationale for this:

Any post processor should have a move to the proper Z height after a tool change, unless there are very special circumstances. Thus, the return to the previous position in XY is good, while returning to Z is unnecessary, since the next line in the gcode should take it to whatever safe height was chosen in CAM.

So, my setup is such that all the auto tool probe Z clearing moves are at G53Z0 which is the maximum height of physical travel.

I do the initial offset measurement before starting a program,which measures the tool setter and then the top of the work piece. Since my workpiece top is at Z0, I just set it when the probe finishes probing. Then find XY0 and set that 
Next, remove the probe and shout "Fire in the Hole!" Because that makes you look cool to onlookers when pushing cycle start.

From there, the tool change to initial tool works fine. Then, the next tool change which used to error out since the tool was much longer just stays at max travel until the nc code takes over again.

So, give that a try. Just comment put the final Z move and see if that fixes things.

I have not looked at this for a few years but I was interested in  state_tags which is a structure added to emcmot_command_t in motion.h

From memory, the data is duplicated into a class in the rs274ngc module which I assumed was to deal with the different compilers. So there must be a way. Such messy redundant code.....
 

Yes you can, not required though.
Just follow the steps on that post and make sure each step is OK before moving on to the next, by the time you enable the drives and the inherent danger with it, all the safety stuff is already in place and the most you get is a short thump when enabling the machine and the analog outputs re reversed in regards to encoder feedback, so if all is good when enabling the machine nothing happens, might just notice the DRO numbers changing a bit.
Oh, and please let me know if something is not clear or can be written differently for easier understanding.
Thank you.

got the 7i76 working, however i am getting a Field I/O fault from the 7i77. CR16 is shining red. i dont understand what this means. Pin W1 is in the default position. i have supplied 24v to pin 5 'vin'.

Thank you.

 

I apologize, I accidentally pressed the Submit button twice and I was no longer able to delete, I didn't find any options, I even tried to delete the content to try to delete the post.
I noticed a bug that if you quote a post and then edit the message your reply gets wrapped up in the quoted person's message
Anyway I'm still trying to figure out how to delete my posts I can't find an option when I edit, do I have to do it from the profile perhaps?

i just had a look at my old topics. You also helped me 2 years ago. i think the same problem happend. First i am gonna check if the field power is available

And you can not ignore feedback on analog servo systems if the motors are mounted on the machine, that ends up badly. But for testing on the table/desk you can, although there is no benefit to it, feedback must be sorted before even enabling the drives.
 


 

what I already did was putting low voltage to the x and y motors servo drive to see if I use the right inputs there and get movement. that worked fine. but it was with a lab voltage source, not any controller board.... 

that's kind of sad... can I buy a cheap servo drive to at least see if my config is right?
I mean, I get that tuning without the machine and the exact motors does not make any sense.
I just want to see, I did correct with Hal/ini pins to wire the machine if I get there....

yep! I try thanks

just did that, made no difference to how to hal conf looks like :?

Try setting all sserial to 000000 instead of 000xxx in the loadrt line, to many sserials enabled in the firmware so might be disabled with x.

do you mean this?

in case the hal and ini files are needed
