Yes, the PC has an internet connection, running the sudo apt update command, which I did before, gives me this error

THAT WAS IT!!

I knew it was going to be something dumb I did.

Thanks to everyone for their help!!!

I don't think this is practical as the operator would have to keep this in mind for every possible machining operation.
Yes, and on the other hand, i showed an exceptional case. Normally a travel height would be like 1 up to 50mm and
a G64 P0.01 for the fillets. This will not be a problem at all.
 

Grotius,

In fusion there is a setting for lift height which is a very small movement just to lift the tool gently above the previously cut surface while repositioning to the next engagement point, this lift height could certainly be set very near the same value used for the G64 P value in cam.  in this example the lift height is set at 0.005" which would mean if a P value is set at 0.004" (default smoothing value used in fusion for adaptive roughing cycles) it would not be able to remain between the Z start/end positions correct? or am i wrong here?  I have attached the settings in cam along with the code as it would be posted, perhaps you could plug it in to see the results with the new planner?

Thanks, let me know if you need anything else!

Hi, Experts! I am trying to integrate a Metronix ARS 2310 FS into my existing EtherCAT system, but it's not having any of it.I can see it and some parameters with ethercat slaves


But it doesn't seem to have any PDOs yet, even though these have been configured in the manufacturers software and should comply with CiA 402.
 

This drive has an EtherCAT plug-in module that apparently uses a Beckhoff ESC20 chip. Am I heading in the right direction when looking at a certain Sii EEPROM? And possibly siitool on github to convert the manufacturer supplied .xml file into something that could be used with ethercat sii_write to initialize the drive / module?
 

I am surprised that my affordable Chinese hardware was pretty much ready to go while the German luxury stuff is giving me a lot of trouble.
 

Hi scotta,
now the MPG displays correct values! It is working!

Thanks again!

Hi Cmorley

I've recently noticed a problem in qtdragon with the spindle turning on after using the "touch plate". (tested on different versions of linuxcnc).
If I do e.g. M3 S1000 from MDI, then turn off the spindle using the spindle stop button, then use the touch plate, or my own tool length measurement routine, then the spindle will turn on by itself.

It seems that the spindle stop button does not execute the M5 code, because if I add M5 at the beginning of my own tool measurement routine, then there is no problem with the spindle turning on by itself.

I managed to make Linuxcnc start with the feed override and rapid override at 0, I had a lot of difficulty, but it was simple, I'll leave what I did here in case anyone needs it someday.

Add the following to the ini in the [DISPLAY] section:

USER_COMMAND_FILE = feed.py .

After doing this, save and close the ini. Then create a file inside the folder where the hal and ini folders are on your machine. Create the file with the following name: feed.py .

Inside it add these for lines:
widgets.feedoverride.set(0)
command.set_feedrate(0)
widgets.rapidoverride.set(0)
Command.set_rapidrate(0)

Then save and close the file. You will need to give permission to the file, right-click on it and go to properties, then go to the permissions tab, check the option allow execution of the file as a program, close the screen.

Then, if you open Linuxcnc, it should already open with the feed override and the rapid override at 0%.

Simple but difficult to find information about.

1. Does the PC have an internet connection?
2. Do in a terminal " sudo apt update " before trying to install

   good morning, I'm new to linuxcnc, I tried following all the steps described in the guide but I can't install ethercat on linuxcnc, I always get the same errorWhat could it be that it can't find the necessary files. Where am I wrong

Please help guys, I' cannot upload config to my nvem, it is showing timeout error each time. I've tried with upload_config.py script and also with tftp itself. I can ping board with success but that's it. I've seen similar issues further in this topic but unfortunately without any solution.

Ok, it works if I add it to CONFIG_FOLDER/qtvcp/screen/qtdragon_hd/ as qtdragon_hd_handler.py

Thank you

Same,
Do I need add it somethere to be loaded (like include qtdragon_handler)

> Add this to CONFIG_FOLDER/qtvcp/screen/qtdragon/

I do not have an account there, maybe i can convince myself to open one.

Not sure if I need the tilted workpiece plane

You tell me...

Basically G68.x is similar to G52 in the sense that you create a new WCS from the currently active offset. G68.x has the added benefit that lets the operator define how the XY-plane of the new WCS is oriented in space.


I'm sure a sales rep would tell you that you definitely need it!

But since I really have no clue about 5axis machining you may want to let other people explain:

Here is a demo for tilted work plane on a Fanuc controller for a 5axis table-table rotation kinematic:

Hello,
i just set upo mey new pc with linuxcnc. Everything seems to work correctlly, except the keyboard. From time to time suddenly the keybiadr does not longer work. I can still use the mouse to navigate, this problem ist not only under linuxcnc itself, it affects also all other applications under linux. When i reboot everything is fine again for a while. I already tested multiple keyboards and usb ports.
i could not reproduce the problem, it coms when it has the desire for it.

to be sure its not because of the power supplies for the stepper drivers, i switched them comletely off

perhaps its a problem with the rt kernel, but i could not found something about that there are only people who have problem with the keyboard under linuxcnc but the other applications are noit effected

my configuration: microatx board with intel i5, 16GB ram, onboard graphics pcix parallel portcard und parallel bob with 4 attached axis - latest linuxcnc iso image is used
