I already have the correct bitfile on the card. My question is where the physical pin on the card is located.
when the bitfile says expansion port Pin 1 where is it on the expansion connector on the card.

i made it work already, somehow it could see 10 stepgens and after modification of the hal file to read stepgen 05 and 06 instead of 00 and 01 previous, now the axis servos can run, but i am still unable to get the outputs to work.

Anyone able to let me know in a 7i96s + 7i76 config, what hal label will output 0 on the 7i76 be on linuxcnc?

thanks!
very clear. I will try it

Open 7i97t_7i85d.pin in a text editor. This has the relationship between signals & connector pins.

Just to be clear the "bit files" can't be edited (by normal humans), bit files need to be generated by using the tools provided by FPGA manufacturer (like compiling soucre to an executable). Not for the faint of heart.

Here's how I do it:

~/linuxcnc-dev/2.8.4/
~/linuxcnc-dev/2.9/

Clone each repo into their respective dirs.

Do what you need.


to work on 2.9 open terminal, dive into the 2.9 directory, do what you need, source the rip-environment and run a session

to work on 2.8 close the first terminal, open a 2nd terminal, dive into the 2.8 directory, do what you need, source the rip-environment and run a session

If need to go back to to 2.9 close the terminal running 2.8 and go back to the first step.
Doing this way gives you a clean environment each time. Yeah you have to close a terminal between each run.

I have compiled LinuxCNC version 2.8.4 following a tutorial.
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html
...
$ make
$ sudo make setuid
$ source ../scripts/rip-environment
...

It works very well.
Now, I need to use a newer version of LinuxCNC, such as 2.9, I need to use RTCP.
Should I perform make clean in the directory where LinuxCNC 2.8.4 is installed?
And then follow the installation process to compile version 2.9?

I'm asking this mainly because I'm concerned about potential conflicts with environment variables.
If I could keep two versions without conflict, that would be great. Can I switch them in some way? This is more conducive to my debugging.

Ok so I have flashed the other firmware to the card and that seems to have worked. When I use the readhmid command it shows RX/TX pins on the expansion connector.
Now I need to connect the smart serial adapter board to these pins and to my 7i73. That does not work currently. I want to rule out the easiest mistakes first. I am not sure of the pinout of the expansion connector on the 7i97. I can see what pin is rx/tx in the terminal with readhmid but I'm not sure where the physical pin on the 7i97t is.

Can someone clarify that?

Das kommt normalerweise wenn man Textverarbeitungssoftware (zB Word) verwendet statt einen einfachen Texteditor wie notepad, xed oder gedit.
Öffne die 'Probe_postgui.hal' doch mal mit einem Texteditor in linux (Nicht mit Openoffice!) und speichere mal.

hello

to update what I wrote here

I resumed the installation of LCNC + etherCAT on native Raspberry Pi 5 OS.

I turned the raspy back on and there were some updates to install, after doing this I ran this in the terminal

everything works on native OS with audio and video graphics ok!!!


 


 
 

There is a lot more to safety circuits than just the estop. Safety relays, redundant circuits, timers, force guided relays to name a few. Most readilly available estop buttons are not compliant to start with.  The added cost of compliancy is a few hundred dollars and few DIYers are willing to spend the money,

So yes, safety is in the hnads of the integrator.

Hallo, vielen Dank für die Info.Habe alles eingefügt, bekomme eine Fehlermeldung.ich habe meine geänderte Maschine gepackt: siehe Anhang.Vielen Dank für Deine Mühe

Software Estop in the form of UI/HMI touchscreen, flat panel display driven by mouse/keyboard, software commands (G code …) and membrane switches are NOT ALLOWED.

I agree but the implementation of proper machine safety standards is first and foremost the responsibility of the machine integrator. Regulations that apply in one country may not apply in another. Also in most countries machine safety regulations will go WAY beyond having a proper emergency stop push button.
Generally I would be willing to bet with anyone building a cnc machine (other than a serious commercial company) that their machine is in breach of code somewhere.

I also have this driver.  What are you using to power it?  I thought it might be my power supply.

Hi guys!

I was trying to setup a new configuration for 7i96s with a 7i76 but faced some issues trying to go thru with the PNCCONF. previously i was on a old computer with 5i25 and 7i76 but i had to change it to a 7i96s and i was hoping not the touch any wiring on the existing 7i76.

is anyone able to tell me what is the exact error and how can i go about the debug it?

i have attached the hal and ini files here.

Thanks so much!

hm2/hm2_7i96s.0: config.num_stepgens=10, but only 5 are available, not loading driver
hm2/hm2_7i96s.0: failed to parse Module Descriptor 5

I can't work this issue out.
I'm building a simple testbed for CIA402 homing that has two joints. Both are using an Rtelligent ECT60 drive. One is closed Loop, (rtelligent NEMA23 stepper) the other is Open loop NEMA23 (Sanyo Denki stepper)
Both joints work perfectly in open loop mode but if I set the Rtelligent to be closed loop, I get  a little bit of movement then it stops with an amplifier fault.
It does not matter if I use a generic driver, the ECT60 driver or the basic_cia402 driver. Behavior is the same.

It would be great if you could review my attached config and provide any feedback.
