Mesa card issues Maho MH800E Retrofit Project

Category: Computers and Hardware

So I tried to upload the firmware and I have somehow broken the 5i25t as it no longer is recognized by the computer. is this something I can flash an eprom with a programmer?

there is no real protocol,
it is a frame with a fixed length (depending on the config) in which all necessary data is sent and received in byte blocks.

Here is an example of the default Tangbob config:
cat Output/Tangbob/DOC/INTERFACE.md
# Interface

| POS | SIZE | NAME |

| 0 | 32bits | RX_HEADER |
| 32 | 128bits | VAROUT128_MODBUS0_TXDATA |
| 160 | 32bits | VAROUT32_PWMOUT0_DTY |
| 192 | 32bits | VAROUT32_STEPDIR0_VELOCITY |

## FPGA to Host
| POS | SIZE | NAME |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0 | 32bits | TX_HEADER |
| 32 | 32bits | TIMESTAMP |
| 64 | 16bits | MULTIPLEXED_INPUT_VALUE |
| 80 | 8bits | MULTIPLEXED_INPUT_ID |
| 88 | 128bits | VARIN128_MODBUS0_RXDATA |
| 216 | 32bits | VARIN32_STEPDIR0_POSITION |
| 248 | 32bits | VARIN32_STEPDIR1_POSITION |
| 280 | 32bits | VARIN32_STEPDIR2_POSITION |
| 312 | 32bits | VARIN32_STEPDIR3_POSITION |
| 344 | 1bit | VARIN1_BITIN0_BIT |
| 345 | 1bit | VARIN1_BITIN1_BIT |

| 347 | 1bit | VARIN1_BITIN3_BIT |
| 348 | 1bit | VARIN1_BITIN4_BIT |

the frames are then filled with zeros so that they are always divisible by 8 bits and RX and TX frames have the same length so that they can be transmitted via SPI full duplex

a hal component (riocomp.c) is also generated for each config, which can read and write the frames and, if necessary, does a few floating point calculations that I wanted to keep away from the FPGA

This makes it possible to manage without SoftCore in the FPGA, i.e. only pure logic

How to jog when beyond soft limits

Category: EtherCAT

I can see you issue and agree that a better solution is needed for absolute encoder setups.

Maybe two sets of software limits are needed?
Working area
Absolute maximum travel
If machine is within "working area" travel/jogging outside is needed
If machine is outside "working area" but within "absolute maximum travel", then allow jogging. Once within "working area" don't allow jogging/movement back out

Work around:
Move machine off soft limits on shut-down

Emulating lathe compound angle via manipulation of X & Z drives

Category: HAL Examples

Axis GUI for a lathe, using Mesa 
I have servos driving the X (cross slide), and Z (carriage) all working.
I also have MPG to manipulate X & Z.
I have removed my compound to make the lathe more rigid, with the rationale that I can emulate the compound via correct step pulse generation of the X & Z drives via the MPG.

Has someone done this?
HAL example?

Thank you

How to jog when beyond soft limits

Category: EtherCAT

On my AXIS gui setup, I can switch to "joint mode" by hitting $ (shift-4)
which lets the servos jog slowly back into the normal travel range. Hit $ again to go back to "world mode" to run as normal from there. Im guessing the other GUI have an easy way to get into joint mode as well. you could also manually turn the ballscrew a little :D

Getting Ebay 2.6kw ethercat kit going. was created by Kieran

Getting Ebay 2.6kw ethercat kit going.

Category: EtherCAT

Im trying to get my 2.6kw spindle servo going. its got a P200SE drive. the instructions are written in Chinese. I used google translate and it worked pretty good. Right now im running it as a Z axis just to see if i can get it working. I got my XML setup enough that Linuxcnc reads the encoder no problem. the servo powers up and holds position along with my stepperonline X and y servos. my current roadblock is that its not listening to commands and doesnt move and it gets a following error shortly after. if i power off and turn the motor the DRO moves the distance expected so that's a good sign. the servo load meter on the PYvcp is workign for this servo too, when i "fight" the servo. i must just be missing something simple in my XML?


lcec_configgen gives me this

my xml so far

A little underpowered, if you have one give it a go, if not I wouldn't recommend buying one.

T630 isn't a bad choice for connecting to a mesa Ethernet card.

T610 Plus maybe ok for a Parallel Port system with an RTAI kernel, or Debian Wheezy might be the go. 2.7.x Linuxcnc
