beside the traditional limit switch for x and z the mpg and step speed control   i need another  44 digital input and 27 digital  output  that means  2 7i84 
in the description of the 7i84 i see "The RS-422 interface at 2.5 MBaud is compatible with HostMot2s SSLBP smart serial interface which can support as many as 32 7i84 cards for a total of 1024 inputs and 512 outputs"  before you told me  the 7i97t suport only one 7i84 but you can use the  availabe  expantion port and one on the regular port  or both on de expantion port  ? thats not clear  to me 

is it a good idea  to use a separate plc to controle the lathe and let the  7i97 do the nc of the axe ?

Ok, at last. I got ISE running/synth on a Win10 workstation. Never managed to have it working on linux. Tried real hardware (screwed up my installation pretty badly) and neither worked in a VM. Sort of working okay'ish in Win10 although I have no idea how I'll be able to manage a RIO environment (msys64 most likely).

Let's go ghetto! I'll order the aforementioned shilled kit tomorrow and hopefully be spartanized on the verilog side by beginning of the week.

Feeling like going two decades back in time but hey, if that's what works and recommended, so be it!!

Hi Arciera,

cd ~/linuxcnc-2.9.3/cmake/build
remove all items in this build dir.
cmake ..
make -j6
make install 

This will compile tpmod & tpmod_scurve and install them in the ~/rtlib.

For now the tpmod_scurve is a duplicate of tpmod, as the code for the scurve has to
be integrated next week. But nevertheless you can test the build and test if it loads in lcnc.

thanks the user tab works. and I am back on testing.

its a 5v ttl  folloing the paper i found  
for info of the drivers  is a bigger isue  
i can folow the color of the wires  so i have anidea what is input signal +/- 10v  there is also the drive enable   and  a 3th wire where i haven't any idea what it can do 
maybe some of the people here use or had info about that driver  ?
 

Excellent.
Is there other things that need to be addressed to make it better?

It looks like with 2x Z it works

Hey guys, I used to be able to use the straight cut button to make quick cuts across sheets, but now I always receive an error and I'm not able to make the cuts anymore. I think something happened with my .ini file awhile back but I see no issues. I can make programmed g-code cuts just fine. No matter how much I change the coordinates or where I'm at on the table I receive the same error. I've attached a screenshot of the error with my .ini file. I feel like this should be something obvious but I can't see the issue.

Thanks to you, many of my problems were solved. Thank you very much for your help. You are truly an expert.

Olá! Filipe 

Estou realizando uma troca de ferramentas mais preciso fazer o seguinte quando ferramenta m6t1 tiver no spindle ela tem que volta para mesmo lugar que foi retirado para ir pegar a T2 como faço isso ?

OK that looks like a rod421m.0000,3600 which is a 5V TTL
or possible differential interface encoder which is good
 

@cornholio

I'm havin a hell of a bumpy start getting that ancient 2013 'ISE WebPACK' working under linux. Haven't tried windows yet. Is there anything like a lil more updated so to have those Spartan-6 working again?... or that's legacy rated already?

Mind sharing your eda/toolchain set-up? that'd be good info

edit: never mind/ignore. I had it. Took an hour to set-up the licensing, ./xsetup doing nothing, to having it installed but randomly crashing after 3 clicks, to realizing that I can't even access my usb ports anymore right now. Won't put up with this crap thank you very much. FORMAT HDD - Bye Spartans - back in the abandoned legacy gizmo box. 

Hallo
Danke werde es Versuchen.
Gruß Hans

i take the encoder out of the machine and had a clear vieuw of the number  and there was another rcd in frond 
the whole number is  rcd 421m.0000, 3600
i already found also  th original box of the encoder with inside the  color code of the wires 
 

I cannot find that Heidenhain encoder, are you sure you have the number correct?
