i'm still getting the hm2/hm2_7i96s.0: error finishing read iter=32571. it seems the joint following error did NOT come up this time.

Thanks for the feed back, congratulations on being the first to give feedback.

Time to work on stuff like this gets us all! I really like your foldaway keyboard hinges, and the whole project looks great. I have two machines to finish up, a big '90's Taiwanese bed mill that just needs the control panel built, and a lathe conversion that needs all of the control work done. I plan to use your hinge design, and the same keyboard, thanks!

I have installed the latest LCNC 2.9 ISO.

If you are using linuxcnc 2.9, I'm not sure they will work.
In linuxcnc 2.10 (master version), they are included.

What version are you using?

Thanks for the support,

Apparently, I had an error in my ini file, which is all fixed now and downloaded 2.1.4 version

thank you

a easy method on posts if you are new to fusions post files, its all in Java so its pritty easy to find and edit things. plus you can code some nifty tricks inside the post too

for a mill turn, when i was looking into it i found the post for a nakamuura mill turn was pritty well done in fusion so is a very good start point. has a nice turrent switch over for multiu turret, multi spindle too and much more you would need ona mill turn

for a nifty trick you can use visual stuio with a free addon,
when you post any code from a program pick the option post direct to visual studio and it will let you see the post code file along side the Gcode so you can find any Gcode section in the post and edit and check. it will also cut down the Gcode it will post out if you have a long operation like surfacing so can check complex operations with ease.

check this video for a much better detail way todo it, and set it up etc

I was researching the same topic before and asked some questions, which nobody knew the answer unfortunately.
Based on my research, the GLCanon python files are in the folder "/lib/python/rs274/glcanon.py"

The basic idea is that you extend this class and you class have certain methods, that are called on each gcode line, like: comment, straight traverse, etc.
I'd also interested in developing a new visualizer, that can be used in a more flexible way, e. g. json output, etc.


 

Thanks again… tried that ISO this morning. It worked!

this is Axis 2.7.14 on this machine.

Ah, that is probably why but I'm not familiar with versions lower than 2.8.

RODW -> The pin you specified requests the machine to home, not return when homed.

ACIERA ->

I put a line in the custom_postgui.hal file...  <= motion.is.all.homed but when I run it, I get the following...

Debug File Information:
custom_postgui.hal :70: motion.is-all-homed does not exist.

The text you referred to says it should exist... but it's not there. I may have to save my configuration and update...
this is Axis 2.7.14 on this machine.


 

You could just install gedit... no idea if it's a good editor or not, but it is an editor.

sudo apt install gedit

So to me, the first error looks like it can't find the prolog file, the joint errors look like the M6 remap extends above the set INI joint limits. Could you post your INI and M6 remap?

The 7I85S encoders will show up as additional 7i97 encoders.

Base parts ready to mill.
This is "v2" with the granite plate. Using a temp 12x12 plate cause its here, but it will move to a larger 12x18 plate later.
Stainless threaded inserts into the granite will be fun. I *think* I have a system  down to drill and install them. We'll see haha.

 

Once this base assembly is done I can stick some ethercat servos on and start working out the control. Absolute servos I want to try so the gantry is always precise and you only need to rehome/rack adjust after a disaster.

I'm wondering about mapping now.
I know we can do screw mapping, so our linear 2d motion can be made very precise. But what about 3d compensation? Compensating for deviations from straightness and squareness? I expect to be mechanically good to 0.0005" over the envelope, but I'm curious if we could map it to be even better. I'm not sure how you'd even measure it to enter in values.
