Toroidal transformers are REALLY expensive.

If you replace the transformer with a switching power supply (which I do not recommend), keep or resell the transformer.

Huge thanks for the explanation and calculation PCW!

I'm using differential wiring, should have mentioned that in the first post

Would probably be cool if they added support for the DMM servo encoder protocol since they're relatively cheap. It's not "open" but I have the documentation for it.

Yeah that looks much nicer than the tabwidget when it's run....

The frames on the list and plain text editor aren't visible in the dark-touch theme. For now I'm just sticking them on frame widgets because they blend in with the background otherwise.

Thank you all, I have missed the HAL basic document somehow, the manual is really tough to start with. I have some questions related,

1 - Whats the difference between "lcec.0.OUT.dout-0" and "lcec.0.OUT.dout-0-invert" they have the same behaviour
2- I also have a EL 1809 that is rated as input current "typically 3 mA (EN 61131-2, type 3)" Is it usually considered a min or max data? can I feed it with more current or should I limit it?

Hi there,

I've installed LinuxCNC 2.9.3 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel Pentium Dual-Core and on-board GPU.
GRUB is working fine, but I'm only able to boot with "nomodeset" option. Otherwhise the pc freezes with black screen, no switch to console possible, just hard switch of is able to get out.
Now with "nomedeset" I'm able to use the system, but with quite poor grafics. I'd be glad if someone could assist me in finding the issue and fix it.

I'm looking forward your suggestions to deep dive the issue.

Do NOT fix drift!
All analog servo systems will have a bit of drift at 0V input.
Wire the control, it takes care of it when encoders are in use.

Is there a reason why to not install SSH Server?
I usually install it and actually use it for any config or GCode edits using Visual Studio Code editors ssh function.

What are you trying to do? Mesact is not in debian packages.

Hello Mates,
my milling machine is based on 3 N360 / A121 (I guess) servo amplifiers from gould. I believe they need a little adjustment to reduce drift (about 12 to 16V whe 0V at analog in). Thing is I can not find their manuals anywhere! Gould gettys has been dissolved, their tech support could no care less about my request. There is a guy selling one manual on ebay, but he will not ship to Brazil. Can anyone help? 



Greetings!

I just added the dynamic properties section to the docs and put links to it where dynamic properties are mentioned

Hi, still I can't figure out whats the issue, sigh
