Hi Jdowsonjr,

The project has moved from github to codeberg. The reason is the required 2 step verification github requires from it sheeps.

codeberg.org/skynet/hal-core.git

i see the last commit was 4 months ago on the branch of Grotius
Yes, i can't use this account anymore.

how are things going?
Currently working on the path deviation algoritme that processes the G64 P.. Q.. gcode values.

what can i do to help?
Validate if the app-image runs : filetransfer.io/data-package/wvAnmLrd#link

Then you could try to build & run the application from source.
Use qt to load the project by opening the cmakelists.txt file.
Then look around and get an idea how things are done. Then you can start adding code to the
subject you are interested in.

Unfortunately Mesa CT does not know which daughter card you might want use for a spindle when using a card like the 7i92T. But that gives me something to work on in between working the Flex GUI.

wow you are truly awsome

Many thanks

I have a plasma with 6 steppers as well

It's working great with qtplasmac, 7i96s, 2thcads one for the one for ohmic, parallel port breakout for the other steppers board running on a ryzen 1600

Couldn't recommend it enough. Use 2.9.2 if you want the rotary to work 2.10 wasn't working with the sheetcam post as of a few months ago.

@kzali

have add new board config for the tangoboard, but not complete for now:

PYTHONPATH=. bin/rio-setup riocore/configs/Tangoboard/config.json

 

so at least have download 2.9.2-dev package and install it, upgrade ethercat as repositories suggested me ... NOT upgrade kernel. After these ethercat stop to connect to lcnc but not stop to work (lcsc_conf not find error become present) ..... so re-install linuxcnc-ethercat package and all work again like a charm.

for first problem, solution is: install -dev package, install a rip version until "make" stesp ...whitout really install .... only compile it. At these point all lcnc libs become avaiable for new c++ gui app.

May be not needed, never try, for sure hal-priv.h is difficult to reach if in root folder  ... for sure if need to compile a new kinematics for example .... have a rip install for only compile is an helph. After compiled kins or libs you can move in right folder of your lcnc real installation.

regards

just done ..... prerequisite a lot of patience, because seems is not so simple change apt on LMDE6 rt-preempt ... or alwais not in my version downloaded at febrary 2024 and the upgraded to kernel 6.6 ..... any how set as default gcc9 all still work whitout problem. For sure if need to compile and install something of new (like app or libs) need to reverse to default old gcc12 .... these for system sanity ....
regards

There is an spi interface, it works using the kernel module. Unfortunately going by this route is not fast enough for real-time situations.

Thanks,
the repos are here:
github.com/multigcs/riocore/tree/dev
github.com/multigcs/riogui/tree/dev

at the moment, only the octobot board is supported, but Tangoboard will comming soon.

or you can add it yourself, you need an image of the board and expand the board configuration file with the the pin-positions and some other infos:,
github.com/multigcs/riocore/tree/dev/riocore/boards/octobot

Maybe this helps:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/motion/kinematics.html

Can you figure out in what part of the process it is failing?
ie before the tool change? During the probe? etc

You could add some msg() commands to qt_auto_probe_tool.ngc to help in that regard.

Hey kind folks, 

Total newby to LinuxCNC and I'm just hoping for a nudge in the right direction. I would like to use Linux CNC to drive novel kinematic mechanism that will eventually resolve two simple XY coordinates. I do know the mathematical equations that resolve a couple of rotational joints with interesting kinematics into the XY coordinate, but I have no idea how to use that math in a way that will eventually wrote back to g codes. I'm sure there are samples of people using non-linear, non-xy mechanisms, but I'm not sure where to start. Any good resources for how I might take a kinematic macadism that is not a traditional thing? Linear XY where I know the math and get that so that g-codes will drive. They make it to properly? Sorry if this question isn't even phrased properly.  Not sure where to begin. 

Thanks!

So having reinstalled I'm back to the point of halcmd loadusr running, and 'show pins' showing the two entries from RodW' ethercat-conf, but none of my pins showing. Running 'ethercat sIaves -v' shows nothing also; I have one servo connected.
Maybe my ethernet connection though I'm sure I have the right interface in ethercat.conf. Any ideas?

Hello,
I found the root cause. It is because of setting of 6092.
The default setting is:
 
Need to revise to:
 
Save configuration and that's all.

The second was what I wanted. I just needed spinoverride.l rather than just spinoverride .
The foam cutter I'm working on is getting close to functionality.

Thanks again.
