Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Category: Computers and Hardware

As far as I know , only quadratic encoders are currently supported with remora and rt1052

I'm not sure about the ec300 but the ec500 has the ability for hardware counting but you have to bypass the optocouplers as they are shite.

Update LinuxCNC 2.9.5 on debian 13

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Yeah I could but I'd like to have a Trixe & Bookworm base image to work off. I'll get that going tomorrow (doesn't take too long) and have a look at the amd64 live-build for Trixie. Tho I'm a little desperate for disk space and had to drag a 2TB mechanical drive out of the cupboard.
This week's spending money went on RAM........so maybe in a couple of weeks I'll grab a NVMe drive.

Maybe if I stuck with Mach3 I wouldn't spend so much money, bugger I said the quiet part out load.

But that's no fun, too easy

How to create profile for path that is not closed loop

Category: CAD CAM

Do give dmap2gcode a try, it is free, it is python so can be edited, but it does generate perfect gcode for my "scratcher" machines, i just modified it to output M67 values instead of Z depth:

Another tip for Inkscape to save time, lots of time, when exporting in the "path to gcode" window, click on "sort paths to reduce rapid distance", a huge time saver.

Thank you for a quick reply!

Just as a precaution is there anything special I need to take into consideration when upgrading to the development version?

Thanks Andy. It was easy enough to edit the infeed angle for that one thread, and I did remember to edit it back, but having a conversational entry for this would be nice.

How to create profile for path that is not closed loop

Category: CAD CAM

For what it is worth, I have been working with Inkscape and find it is excellent for creating engraving paths and generating g code. Much easier than using Freecad. However Blender still seems the best for bas reliefs and generating their g code. Freecad has is best for CAD drawings and generating milling g code. Image2gcode may be on option however I use a windows computer for developing my g code and linuxcnc strictly for operating my router.

Your seggestion of using inkscape for carvings or engraving makes life much much easier than the other routes. These softwares seem to be the big three for coverng 2D to 3D g code with free software.
Thanks again for your advise as it is saving me tons of time generating engraving paths from curved drawings or text.

Thanks again

..ich antworte mir mal selbst:

Bin nochmal aufmerksam durch beide Dateien gegangen, und habe ein paar Fehler gefunden und ausgebessert.

Jetzt fahren alle Achsen, und auch die Endschalter funktionieren.

Einzig die Spindelsteuerung fehlt in der GUI, den Sprühnebel Knopf habe ich aber mittlerweile.

Button on Linuxcnc interface that switches an output on Mesa 7i76e on and off

Category: GladeVCP

I think 6.1.0-30-rt should probably be OK. (though I think that the packages were built on 6.1.0.10-rt )

I think this was resolved in the develop branch, multiple offsets but was something we found also, you can upgrade to the develop version which should resolve the issue

Hello,
you answered one of my posts. Can you help me installing the right kernel. I don´t know how to do it.

"Try repeating after typing
sudo apt purge raspi-firmware
If you still gets errors, share the output of uname -r as it appears it is trying to install an incorrect kernel version. "

I got this message 6.1.0-30-rt-amd64

Additional hardware-button for coolant

Category: Gmoccapy

On my lathe I fitted a 3-position switch, labelled with "on - auto - off". This allows me to override the G-code if required, to either on or off.

The HAL to do this looks like this:
net coolant-off hm2_7i84.008a.input-25
net coolant-on hm2_7i84.008a.input-26

loadrt mux_generic config="bb4"
addf mux-gen.00 servo-thread
net coolant-off mux-gen.00.sel-bit-00
net coolant-on mux-gen.00.sel-bit-01
net coolant-flood mux-gen.00.out-bit => hm2_7i84.008a.output-08
net coolant-auto iocontrol.0.coolant-flood mux-gen.00.in-bit-00
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-01 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-02 1
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-03 0

Possibly not the simplest way, I suppose that it could have been done with simple AND and NOT components

coolant-out = (coolant _flood OR coolant_on) AND (NOT coolant_off)

Or even LUT5.
Truth-table for LUT5
coolant_flood | 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
coolant_on    | 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
coolant_off   | 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

coolant_out   | 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0

LUT5 Mask = 14 (0x0E)
