I haven't read anything so stupid and inane in a long time

Hello everyone. I'm organizing my programming in Linuxcnc's classicladder. However, I'm not able to name a symbol name for variable %B3 onwards. It doesn't appear in the list when I press the Symbols button in the Section Display of custom.clp window. I've already tried manually editing the custom.clp file in the Geany program, but it didn't work. Note, in the hal file numBits=100 has already been configured, but I'm still not having success. Attached is what has already been done. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this, so I can name the symbol %B2, %B3., %B4 ... onwards?

In the plot widget, to automatically reload a file when an offset has changed you could maybe use the fingerprint
For example:

        fingerprint = (self.logger.npts,
        self.soft_limits(),
        s.actual_position,
        s.motion_mode,
        s.current_vel,
        s.joint_actual_position,
        s.homed,
        s.limit,    
        s.tool_in_spindle,             
        s.g5x_offset,
        s.g92_offset,
        s.rotation_xy,
        s.tool_offset)

        if fingerprint[9:12] != self.fingerprint[9:12] or s.file != self._current_file:
            if self.display_loaded:
                self.load()

        if fingerprint != self.fingerprint:
            self.fingerprint = fingerprint            
            self.update()

Can you share the whole code for what I saw in the video? For some reason the plot is not moving when I set an offset. The xyz origin marker is the only thing that moves...

I've tried today connect rs232 to usb to see some more debug but I've only see garbage. I've followed connection wiring from first page of this forum topic. I've tried on windows and Linux, same result. I've tried minicom, putty. I've tried to change speed from 115200 to 9600 and still nothing. My settings were 115200,8,1.

I've tried also to erase the firmware using pyocd and flash it again. Same result : I can ping nvem board but I cannot upload config. Neither with script and tftp itself.

I've tried to ping my card without cable plugged in and as expected it didn't replied anything. So it's correct. 

A little update, the board for the control panel has arrived.

 



Everything fits well.  I temporarily put on the blue caps.  Someday I'll do better.
 

Sorry for the waking this topic up after one month. I am wondering about latest situation of the project. Is it fnished or not finished yet? If project finished, what about tool changer. is it working good ?

I am wonderig because i have same machine and i am thinking about controlling it with LinuxCNC too.

Stepper online drivers have a 24v and a 5v logic switch at the top. It needs to be 5v for the mesa
 

I don't know what you mean, I'm using DM556T and I only know about the DIP switches to set microsteps and peak current.

DIR0+ would be TB1 pin 5 for example
 

Sorry for my stupid question, I thought I should check it in the software and didn't find the pin in the list.
Anyway I checked the voltage of the pin, and it does change polarity when moving in opposite directions.

The motors are connected bipolar/parallel. It was kind of a mess to find out which cable is A+,A- and so on (the guy who built the machine prolonged cables with with cables of different colors)
Maybe I made a mistake there, but I checked it several times.

The issue isn't that Linux has some technical superiority, it's that we have silo's if interest from oublic and private sector actors colluding to control our screens, it exists in Android, Firefox, Windows etc, all the same thing. Even the open source guys with their "no bi ary blobs" and excluding closed source qpps from repos are doing the same thing.

One thing I've observed about software developers, many of them are controlling narcissists. When you think about computer programming from a 10,000ft view, it certainly would look appealing to people with average intelligence who have strong verbal iq and Machiavellian tendency's to picn computer program as a trade because they would be scratch that itch for tyrannical control. 

You can see it with open source projects ejecting contributors and community participants anytime they question or speak against the opinions of the core operations group. 

It would be nice if their was a way to find those people and box them up so that couldn't harm everyone but they're everywhere in the software engineering landscape engaging in social engineering scheme's.closed or open source doesn't matter. 

Recently OS News blasted owner thom howlerda "check spelling" blasted byran lunduke for being a nazi, bryan is jewish. He was being blasted because he disagrees with the leftist narrative being pushed everywhere 

I have thoughts on that (and other matters) but we are changing the point of this thread. If we are going to go deeper we should do it in another thread?

Sounds like LinuxCNC has some catching up to do if anyone wants to use those features.

The inclusion of switchable kinematics has made it possible:

Although I read a few discussions related to this sort of question I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to my situation (i.e. not a real problem).

So, my machine is set up as metric and if I draw in a particular Inventor project in inches the g-code generated dictates inches through G20. Everything runs fine and the parts are spot on as you would expect. Now, I don't always want to go to the trouble of making a drawing and code for some simple actions where I just jog the mill over an item. This actually still works kind of OK but the display shows MM and I have to convert the inches I'm working to into metric each time, which is a bit of a PITA.

Is there a simple way I can start LCNC up and get an inch or mm display without having to convert all the machine specs (even if that was possible) in the Pncconf wizard? I also have a .hal file for the jog pendant which should be relatively easy to modify for inch movement.

Excuses if this has been answered before. Any input gratefully received.

Martyn

Heh - I have never used or explored G68.x or G53.x. I probably would have if I was the operator on my machine if my machine did not have LinuxCNC controlling it. When I found OpenCNC (in 1997) and then EMC/EMC2 (~2000) I stopped exploring Fanuc (or any other) controls.

Hello,
at the end of the dmesg output i get this in red:
[ 131.300428] DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[ 131.300430] DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [04:00.0] fault addr 0xfff9f000 [fault reason 0x06] PTE Read access is not set

i could not find something helpful here only things about the GPU (i have a standard intel board no nvidia card on it)

You can rotate the head and then machine away like normal.

Exactly. This is why it's so much easier to demonstrate the value of TWP on machines with tool side rotation.
