got the Yaskawa encoder to work

It's from LY CNC, which you can find on Alibaba. This is the 3040 model. I watched Stephan Gotteswinter's video about his new micro mill, and was inspired to do something similar. It was going to be difficult to get the same epoxy-granite frame he started with, here in the states. This cast-iron frame was a similar design, so I decided to try it out. There was a fair amount of waiting involved but the machine seems fairly sound.

With the spindle half-way down, I'm getting 0.000,5 in (13 microns) deflection with 20 lbf (88 N) pressing against the spindle nose. I think those are similar numbers to Gotteswinter's thumb test.

I got out the master square to check the perpendicularity of the X and Y axes. They're very square--within a few tenths (0.000,1 inch = 3 microns) over 10 inches (250 mm). The YZ plane leans back about 0.002" over the 7 inch travel of Z. In the XZ plane, there's 0.003" deviation over the same distance. I might eventually try to correct that but the parts I'm making are fairly small, so maybe it won't be a problem.

Do you have a thread about your retrofit?

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow. I just got back from a wedding so I haven't tried your updated file yet.

Hello y'all!
I just received my new mesa 7i76eu, and I have a huge CNC with a durapulse GS10 vfd (until now it was runnnig with grblhal).

Does "pktUart" allow me to connect my GS10 vfd directly to the mesa without a usb dongle?

Regards!

Try removing the comments that are on the same line.
Also confirm that the right INI file is being looked at. More then one of us have edited the wrong version

Either change all the HAL pin names in the Hal files from qtdragon to inova or add -c qtdragon to the load line in the INI.

DISPLAY = qtvcp -d -c qtdragon inova

One of the safest way to have the probe and the tool touch sensor on the same hight would be to install a rigid piece of metal and facing it with an meassured tool. After that calibration of the probe with this new face.

Btw. Cool machine. Do you have somewhere more info about it? Right now I retrofitting a Kuhlmann P20. Looks quite similar.

Oops.  I'll have to add an interlock for the probe when it's in storage, on the right column. 

 

Getting the gage length of the probe isn't as easy as normal tooling.  It's a dual-contact spindle nose, so normally you can measure the length of tools on the surface plate.  But with the added variable of Z travel in the probe, you can't measure directly.  I ended up touching off on the 1-2-3 block and doing the guess-and-check on a gage-block stack to find the length.  A big gage block, adjustable parallels, and a micrometer would have been less dramatic but I didn't think of that until later.

 
 

Hello,
I can't seem to find the file pause_pin.py. Does the path have to be exactly "USER_COMMAND_FILE = CONFIGFOLDER/pause_pin.py" and does that mean my machine folder? Or where does the file have to be located?

Thanks! mux4 worked.

In case others need it, here is my solution:


 

Thanks

If I build against 2.10, how is backwards compatibility handled? I am running 2.9.

You need both 5V on 7I77 field power applied for the 7I77 to be full operational

sudo mesaflash --device 5i25t --readhmid > pins.txt

and posting pins.txt here will help verify if you have the correct firmware installed

I should also clarify that it is pulling up a lot of information on the 5i25 but I dont know if it would plainly tell me the firmware version with 7i77 in it thats all.

I didnt think I wanted any parports so this is not something I selected. right now I do just have the basic stuff selected nothing crazy. I entered in that sudo mesa flash line and I am not seeing anything refering to the 7i77. I do have the 5i25t kit. I am supplying power to the 7i77 via a power supply the lights are on and I had moved the jumpers on the 5i25. should I be able to ask mesaflash for info on the 7i77 because that didnt work for me.
