rodw is very helpful to everyone regarding ethercat.

I'll standby. That's awesome news to hear, I know you'll figure it out with time. Oh man!!

ps. yes gigabit phy. Correct. If you need the bitstream, shoot an addy I can email -or- a drag & drop box. 

@meister 

A 1000 meg base ethernet/phy onto "rgmii_txc & rgmii_rxc" buffers. Have a look and let us know if RIO can deal these two buffers. 
Let's get this lag over with and league up a notch! 

Synthesized, Placed and Routed Code in hands. If interested, DM an address I can send bitstream source too [16mb]. 
RTL8211FD Schematic attached (pdf). Same real-estate as the wizzy part, 10x performance increase though.


 

Hi...new here..I have a home built cnc running mach 3.. 6 axis and need to quickly switch to linuxcnc to take advantage of the 9 axis that I will need for an upcoming project. done some reading to be confident it should not be a problem but i am not real clear on what i will need to order in terms of hardware...I currently go from typical BOB to Ethernet smooth stepper which seems like need to be replaced...currently steppers but may want closed loop also..Also pc requirements?

If anyone can list what would be required I would be so grateful as I do not have much time to research...

Thanks,
Rick

puhh, realy gigabit ? hmm, if it's work

i can run LAN8720 & RTL8201F on the tangprimer, so there is allready code for it as a base

I guess it's more like a hallucinating 8 year old who read too many twitter and youtube comments and thinks he knows everything about the world. And of course, don't listen to the people who wrote these algorithms, because they do anything in their power to pump up the hype.

And sure, these bots can be valuable in some niche area's such as sorting through huge amounts of data which would be impossible for humans, but for many things they're not better than mostly random guesses at the moment.
 

I will actually have to respectfully disagree to this one. "High"schooler I think would be pretty relevant. I have never seen and 8 year old whip up a 1000 word arduino sketch in under 5 minutes. That is one thing that I do use GPT for. It is actually pretty decent at C code... I have lots of microcontroller running of its code. And its also better at finding things on the net than, I hate to say it, Google...... Im sorry oh great oracle, please dont smite me for saying it.....

Linuxcnc is best cnc 
 

  I am making Gmoccapy full screen, but I do not want the user to close the cnc screen without entering a password. should not be able to access anything other than the CNC screen without entering the password. How can I put a password on the exit button? It will be like a settings page and I should be able to set the password.
How do I check the g code renewal key from Classicladder?

There does not seem to be any parallel port reference in the hal files.

Maybe the generic "cannot gain I/O privileges" message includes
the parallel port warning.

Maybe the wrong hal file uploaded?
I am sure i saw this same issue before here, it did have mesa and parallel port stuff for a Mesa only config, usually ends up like this due to just clicking on stuff in the wizards.

Done, thank you.

Hi ScottI don't know if this is the right place.I wanted to report a problem.I'm using the EasyIO, with the great work of recent times it is among the devices included in the EtherCAT drivers for LinuxCNC, up until now I had only used the digital IOs which are oknow with a retrofit I need to use the analog output for the spindle, I did some tests but I wasn't able to make it work, LinuxCNC in the HalShow displays that it works but nothing comes out on the outputs with the tester. out of curiosity I also tried the analog inputs and they don't show any signs of life. To verify, I tried the old .XML and the analog outputs and inputs work, while the digital IOs I hypothesize conflict with the LinuxCNC internal drivers, because they work in a bizarre way.

I attach the XML

Thanks again for your precoius work
 

Hi Scott
the problem with the EasyIO is not solved
it has been inserted in the lcec devices but
as I explained above the analog IOs do not work,
while the digital IOs work
In Halshow the value is floating and works,
while at the output of the card there is nothing

how should I move to solve it?

thanks and sorry if I insist

In a meantime, you can Find string "~~~required?~~~" and uncomment everything that is commented related to destination addr/port. Set your computer address for the dest and port 6000. Probably what's going on.

I did a test with the new w5500.v, initialization of the IP seems to work, I can ping.
but port 2390 is not open so I can't communicate with it either

Snap, that can't be good. Wonder if the socket got opened correctly... need a look at. More and more I think about it though, let's just 'fuck it' (pardon!) and go full 1000 gaga-bit phy/mac from the ground up. Placed my original idea/proposition on order, should get in here in about 72hrs. 

I'll schematic the rtl8211 silicon and passives for you, pass on BOM, and contribute a 100/1000 verilog for RIO tests soon. 

 

Regarding OpenCV there is also Dmitry's Pick and Place machine, uses OpenCV (python) for parts positioning and angular alignment.


his config files can be found here:
github.com/yur7aev/linuxpnp/tree/master/configs/pnp

No need for additional controllers but you would likely need to write a custom hal component to get your machine vision results into hal.

There is a simulation configuration 'configs/sim/axis/external_offsets/eoffsets' with external offsets for X,Y,Z axes (this will also run on a non-real time installation):
