Use the sim as a template

Had to change the RT kernel to 6.13 as when disabling BIOS stuff the 6.10 would fail to boot some 70% of the time.
This was on 2 laptops (Lenovo X1 Yoga and Yoga 370) and my main PC (14400 with RX6800).
So far tested on laptops only, will do more installs and if all is good, replace the ISO.
Stay tuned.
FYI:
6.10 works fine for Mesa boards, even with default BIOS settings, but will do 170000-280000 in latency, and that is on the limit of what i consider safe, disabling just Hyperthreading and ATM (or AMT?) would bring that down to safe numbers.
With everything in BIOS of Y370 disabled and CPU in powersave mode on batteries, i could get the latency under 100000 and testing with base period of 100000 would show no warnings for hours. Did not test with power attached.

Yeah, that's not a sine wave (more like a rectified sine wave)

Yeah you will probably get a sine wave when you measure it differentially.
This could be done with a differential probe, or you could power the encoder with a galvanic isolated power supply.
But that is not important now, I only wanted to check if there is a signal at all.

I think the low amplitude level is also ok. I have a Heidenhain rotary encoder and also some linear magnetic scales l worked with -- they all have a level much lower peak-peak value than 1V.


 

I thought I had to configure it the same way I did with the windmill. 


The simulator started correctly, but at this point, there was no way to proceed.

I agree with Rod, naming can and will cause issues as soon as more people start using this, so changing it sooner rather than later would be beneficial.
Also agree on calling it Grotius, for us who spend more time here on the forum it would obvious, and new user will have to learn whatever the name may become.
P.S.
I still have nightmares with Probe Basic and Basic Probe !!!
Naming it QtMill and QtLathe would help a lot... Sorry LCVette, i know you asked us for a name and we came up with nothing.
We already have QtDragon and QtPlasmaC, those should fit nicely in the naming scheme.

there is no "probe basic lathe" just probe basic and a lathe ui. if you install probe basic you should be able to open the lathe sim, start there to verify the installation is correct first.
