Hi,

I am trying to setup my mill and i have something stage going on.
my dro gives me different values than halui.
When I use the jog function 1mm my mill moves one mm. the dro on hand wheel says 1mm.
the dro of probe basic 0.0394. so 1/25,4 inches
is there a setting for probe basic to switch between imperial and metric units?

Thanks Patrick

For a 6I24, you could use a 7I52S daughtercard to get 6 encoders + 6 differential step/dir channels
Or you could use a 6I25 and a 7I85S to get 4 of each

I'm currently planning my next retrofit. To avoid network problems I'm thinking about a Mesa 6I24-16 or 6I24-25 card. At the moment I see 2 questions. 1. How is it possible to create a step/dir and encoder connection with the card? 2. And what is the difference between these cards?

Hello PCW,
thank you for your answers! (sorry for delay, I was very busy the last days and couldn't do anything at my machine.)

I tried the lines in /etc/network/interfaces file and  after reboot my internal Intel network was disabled. Just  auto internet with RLT8111 is possible. The file is as follows:
 

Well, internet network is ok. What is the faulty setting here?

 
 
 

That's fine, but the wrong card was configured. I suspect that the Intelcard is calling enp2s0. Try modifying the file this way.

Installed twice and works fine.

If you can get the comp correct for Y Z it will help to use W axis rather than Z for boring.

tried to write the iso from the post above to a usb twice. Both times after selecting locale in the installer i get that a file failed to be copied

live enviroment works fine but the installer is not there

has anybody else tried it?

Ignore my stupidity - I have sorted the problem out.

I had though I was being clever in simplifying the HAL I was using, but to make it do what I wanted meant that the result was going to be more complex than the way I had already been doing things.

Great.
That all works.
You could also add "dro_axis_*" to the "button_response_list"
in the handler file so that these functions are not available during operation.

had still the oscillation.
But I dug myself a little deeper into the usage of pncconf with the discovery option and made a mint config file which I merged into my old config.
and the oscillation is gone and the axis are moving.

And just when I wanted to edit the post above when I saw you already answered.

here files which ware working now. also found out the the scale was wrong and adjusted it.
 

 

What are the specific issues you have now?

Here are the stylesheet properties, you can turn them on and off as you please.
They will change immediately.

Instead of binding this key to a button, is there a way to refresh the g-code file every few seconds while the g-code is not executing? I want to automatically load the g-code file into linuxcnc continuously. The name of the g-code file is always the same and never changes.

You will most probably have to reinstall everything.
In the networking HOWTO it is clearly stated to use that OR the /etc/network method, NEVER both!
You are using both. It also states to edit the existing wired connection, you did not, you added another one to the same interface.
Now you have 3 networks with the 2 of the same IP on a single interface, as you did not edit the existing one, but you added another one.
-
Try deleting every wired connection from the network manager and reboot.
If this does not work, reinstalling everything is the fastest way to get up and running, trying to fix this mess takes much longer.

OK, I switched ipv6 off in both networks, no effect. And I added the adress 10.10.10.2/24 in the four lines in etc/network/interfaces
Same issue as before. I'm asking me why there is this altname fault in ip a. I definitely have the right definitions in the two network settings, eno1 and eth2
