To check, in halcmd:

sets b-index-enable true

and watch b-index-enable in halshow

Then move the axis past an index mark

b-index-enable should go false when the index is detected

hello,I've managed to set my PID.I've mounted an encoder directly on my machine B axis. My encoder is of the phase type A+,A-;B+,B-;Z+,Z-.the feedback is correct on my axis position. However, it's impossible to detect my Z0. I have a 7i96s and I've connected my two Z+,Z- wires to pins 13 & 14 of TB2 on my card. My .hal file is correctly configured for homing with this Z phase. I've tested 5 encoders of the same type. but I can't find the Z pulse.Is there a trick? Can anyone help me? Thanks

The modal/active gcodes personally I find them to be more/less the same. I dont really find it any more readable than linuxcnc. They are both just a jumble of g and m codes with F S H T at the end. I just takes more space with coloums instead of rows

this is crazy!! after applying your parameters, my ping went down from 1.xx to 0.3xx

Thx so much.

 

I want to use an ATC spindle with a rack tool changer. I was struggling to find some ready-made script I could use and perhaps modify that would fullfill this goal. Is anyone aware of an existing implementation that was tested/proven by some people that does this? I was able to find some carousel tool changer scripts/designs, but I explicitly need a simple rack solution since the machine is a router with 1m length I can use for holding plenty of tools.

Megnetic are cheaper but more dust tolerant, just like rotary encoders.
Pros are price and dust/ contamimation tolerance, unless you get them full of steel shavings they will work.
Optical, glass scales will fail sooner than magnetic if you install them within fine dust presence area.
Big con is magnetic field sensitivity. Use of magnetic holders for coolant/air nozzles may shift your readings.
My(£100 motor and driver) magnetic encoder servo motors suffer so bad(plastic encoder covers) can make them rotate 3°(0.1mm axis move witn 10mm pitch screws) by putting magnetic indicator base next to them. Running spindle makes z motor 120mm away move the axis up/down 0.02-0.05mm and with right spindle speed it would start oscillating into oercurrent error. swapped the motor to optical encoder(£40 extra) and it all went away...
