Means the same to me! Trash means, it goes out the door. Separating things is very common here and it is easy to bring old circuit boards and such to the recycling companies. .-)

Messing around with QLinearGradients and thinking of adding them to the Stylesheet Builder.



Is it worth it?

Back to changer..
I deleted and reinstaled linuxcnc 2.9.2 today.
Problem still exist.
Make two video with problem.
First with my setup.
When use m6 commands or gcode all is ok.
But when press button for turn changer only carousel.0.current-position pin change carousel.0.pocket-number pin didint change. After that using m6 command machine want to unload tool to actualy position changer where is now no to pocket from before load the tool...
Thinking my setup maby is wrong but tryed with Vismach simulation is the same problem.
Any sugestion where lokking the problem??

Mill or Plasma?

I can make a simple configuration for 2 tools with a sensor for each tool with a carousel component. I can for 7i92+7i77 or 7i96s, because I have such cards to check. I think this will be enough for understanding. Which is better?

Hi all. I recently purchased a Mesa 7i96S and was hoping to use the onboard RS485 capabilities to control my spindle through my HY VFD.

I've spent a few hours reading up about this topic and it seems that nobody has actually done this with this particular VFD?
Before I go down the rabbit hole of writing my own Mesa Modbus driver, is there any way to expose RS485 on the Mesa card to the existing implementation of hy_vfd?
 

Ok, PCW was telling that should be terminated at 7i96s. Can make that change.

The encoder velocity has consistentely fast changes.

Note: I was able to make the bit file changes to add 3 more encoder in expansion port. 
This video was really helpful:

ah yes. That's not too big of an issue with this design, but its also complicated with lots of parts too.

If I recall correctly SSCNET-III needs a 222us cycle time which might be too fast for the MESA but I don't know. A regular step/dir driver would certainly make things a LOT easier. You can likely find a MR-J3-100A for around the price of the SSCNET-III interface card and be able to run it all over the MESA.

[edit]
Be advised that the Mitsubishi drives emulated encoder output have a time lag when you run it in position command so you may want to add an external encoder to your rotary if you want to have a position loop in linuxcnc but you could of course also just trust the drive:

I had the same issue using  Mitsubishi MELSERVO J4 drives with step/dir.
