HaHa Don't I feel stupid. I guess that's how my day has gone. It didn't even occur to me that [] meant put in your own value
Now to look even more stupid. How many channels does the 7i77 have, and how do I know what is on each channel. Is it a channel per drive or just i.o on one, drives on another, encoders on another and so on. until earlier today I didn't know there was more than 2 and I didn't really know they were channels of the card I just thought that was the address of the whole card.
I have alot to learn.

[card_ip_address] = Mesa FPGA card IP address, so likely 192.168.1.121 or 10.10.10.10

If you don't get analog output, (and there is some non zero aout value),
its likely appropriate analog enable is not true.

Note that the 7I77 has a common enable for analog  channels 0..4 and
separate enable for channel 5.
 

Thank you, i will add this to the original post in case anyone needs it.

Hello, my name is Daniel and I am from Argentina, can someone help me modify the configuration for etch servo via parallel port? I want to do some tests of its operation. Currently I have the HAL configuration in 1.1 mode but my h-bridge works pwm up, pwm down, I think I have to change to 2.2 mode but I don't know what else I have to modify.
Configuration attached.
Excuse my English, I use a translator.
Thank you
Greetings

Yes, that's the latest RT1052 based board. It's supported by Remora.

It gives a broken dependencies error due to apt being super picky about which version of Python is installed.

that mesaflash didn't work, just said [card_ip_address] was a bad command or something like that.
I think I might have a problem with the drive.
If I go to hal signals everything shows it works, but there is no output. I put a meter on the analog pins but I don't get any voltage. Im thinking there should be some voltage there when it is outputting.

Hi Klopp,

great project.
I have exactly the same lathe and the problem that the siemens control has an defect since today. Is it possible that you can share more details (electrical scheme, configuration files for mesa cards, ...) from your project so that it is possible for me to do the same.
 

it fit

used packages from this thread : forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ng-rtai-debs-for-2-9

needed to add python 3.11 manually.

Thank you for the formula. I was able to verify that the mesa card is performing correctly.

I tried adding 49 ohms of resistance with no change in behavior. (No combo of my resistors quite matched up to 47.)

I will double check the manual of the drive to see what parameters might need changing.

Thank you.

Hello,
I would like to create translation files for Slovak, but I have been unsuccessfull so far.
This is my progress so far:
- I have Installed linuxcnc from image
- deinstalled the linuxcnc and installed as run in place
- I have configuration running with mesa 7i96s
- i was able to generate QM and TS files, and create links to compiled .qm files
- i have tryied to copy qm files directly to  /qtplasmac_4x3/languages/ /qtplasmac_9x16/languages/
- my version is QtPlasmaC v2.10-008.054

I have only edited the file in LINGUIST, do I need to do this step from howto?

 


Is there any obvious problem with my workflow?
thank you for help.

As you can see in the screenshot it's configured with fully preempted. Are you sure that this kernel parameter makes it real-time? Isn't this only to make it low latency when the kernel is configured is dynamic?

6.12 should have Preempt and it can be actvated with PREEMPT=FULL at GRUB.
Did not test on 6.12, on 6.11 it would ignore the above.

Well, I just read the notes in the routine and it seems that the recommended setup is quite different from what I suggested. So you'll probably want to follow the text in the ngc file.
I don't really know as I have never used it. But it certainly would not make sense to use 'T99 M6 G43' as I suggested as that would of course trigger the remapped routine.

I managed to get the addressing working for the spindle analogout but spindle doesn't work still. Keep plugging away.
Address is hm2_7i76e.0.7i77.0.3. I never thought of a three until I asked for a error report and it showed me the pins.
