Why we don't go all the way and design a RISCV Linuxcnc SoC ? I think I can pay anyone willing a cup of coffee, just bear in mind I ain't Elon Musk (actually I can't even afford to replace my old car that had to go to scrapyard). hahahahaha

All lscpu gives is info on the cpu, nothing else is reported, and it's really not the info needed.
You haven't given any indication of your error your error, I skipped mind reading & ESP classes at school

Please upload the error Linuxcnc is giving and all the files, ini, hal & xml & any extra files your ini file loads. Screenshots aren't really much help, ever tried using grep to look for a string in a screen shot ? Just a little joke there mate.

Put up the right info and you'll get the help you want.

17" for the mill and a little 10" jobby for the lathe. Then again I'm strapped for space.
Honestly I prefer real switches & knobs. Call me a hi-tech luddite

Simplifying things.
DIgital has 2 distinct states either 1 or 0 , using 5 volt logic as example:
5v = Logic 1
0v = Logic 0
A simple on off switch would give you these 2 values.

Anlaogue on the other hand... would have an infinite amount of voltages between 0v & 5v, ie any voltage between 0v & 5v.
A rheostat or potentiometer will give these voltages.

Turning a knob on a rheostat gives you an analogue signal. eg like a old school light dimmer, the like will go from dim to bright
Flicking a switch on & off gives you a digital signal. eg a light switch, will turn the light on or off.

Hi Aciera,
I tried (FERROR; MIN_FERROR) = (10;1) first, it runs well. I will try 1-2 days more.
After that I will test your advice of high value (100, 100). Just want to test all scenario for understanding.

Hi zz912,
I have not revised STEPGEN_MAXVEL/MAXACCEL, and not check info of drivers, just let it as default.
I will do it in next step

Thanks all of you a lot.

I am beginning to shop around for parts for my mill and I'd like a nice "big" touchscreen but no idea what constitutes big enough or too big.
As a reference, Tormach's screen is 17'', I think and it does look a tad small. I'd like to operate sliders fairly easily and not miss buttons. 
(I'll be using either ProbeBasic or QTDragon-HD, still undecided)

I was thinking to go with 24'' but maybe there's a point where you also have to move your hand too far to reach different parts of the screen? So, maybe 21.5-22'' is a happy medium?

What are you guys using? 
 

Great info btw

I've successfully built LinuxCNC by following the instructions in the official documentation. Additionally, I've compiled EtherCAT using the instructions provided on this site.(forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/49771-etherc...ce-full-instructions) However, when I reached the final testing step for EtherCAT, I encountered an error while executing a specific .ini file. Here is a screenshot of my sytem configration :

Could you help me troubleshoot this issue?

So, as for the question about signal levels for the B2 servos' Z pulse, I am honestly a bit daft when it comes to eletronics and don't even yet have a grasp on when a signal is digital vs. analog...

I can only find a mentioning of: " Z-phase Differential Signal". Not sure if that's what you're after. And then some screenshots from the manual:
     

When I have this problem with the Mesa card, I increase these parameters:
STEPGEN_MAXVEL
STEPGEN_MAXACCEL
I have no experience with Ethercat, so I don't know if this information will help you.

What is your max servo driver acceleration?
What is your max servo driver velocity?

What is your max acceleration joint in INI file?
What is your max velocity joint in INI file speed?

The maximum acceleration and maximum speed of the physical hardware should be greater than the maximum acceleration and maximum speed of the LCNC.

Do you have yerk set in the servo drivers? 3rd derivation of position. LCNC can't do this, so that could also be a source of problems.

Do you use velocity control or position control?

something like the 'Waveshare LuckFox Pico Plus RV1103' would be cool, headless with web-frontend.

or rasperry pi zero(2)

I want the machine to stop if the spindle stops or the RPM slow down.
Also, when starting the spindle, there should be a set acceleration.

I'm not sure I understand the issue.

There is no logic in the hal file to limit the spindle acceleration

No following error would be expected since the spindle is not an axis

Hi PCW,
Thanks for the speedy reply, I will need to dive into the manual for the Delta B2 servos to answer you but about to run some errands, so will update with that info once I get it.

(No shade on Spumco's great work, but his compiled list here said '0' for the MPG for the 7i96s hence why I got confused;))

 

Hello, when I start the spindle with S1000 m3. The spindle rotates without the set acceleration and if I simulate a deceleration or stop of the spindle there is no following error. The machine/spindle works without errors!
