It looks like it may be ethernet latency  1  &  2  

I am unable to completely finish cutting out my parts. With every part I tried to cut this error stopped me right before the end of the process leaving me with almost cut out parts. Any insights into what is causing and how to prevent it this is greatly appreciated.
 

so im back at it. i found my conflict. it was the second realtek card that was giving me problems. im running an amd ryzen 5 with an rx 580 gpu. i know it overkill for what we are doing here. i am getting a joint following error and hm2/hm2_7i96s.0: error finishing read! iter=24429. forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/4223...error-finishing-read. i have been playing with the settings according to this post but i am still getting the error. i set the servo thread to 200000 and the p to 500. also i changed the dpll to -100. any ideas what could be causing this? what settings can i play with that will get me in the right direction to solving this?

Is it possible that the manufacturer meant that its very important to set the voltage as per what was written on the side of the spindle? IE 220V. I ask because there could be a misunderstanding here. If that's what they meant then I agree, failing to do this could well destroy the motor and its one of the first params to get set along with rated current before even thinking of hitting the start button.

The spindle speed is linked to and linear with frequency, the output voltage and current limiting are managed by the vfd. It's a 220v wound motor regardless what speed / frequency you are trying to run it at.

Voltage/RPM is very tightly connected on a DC motor wound to hit a speed at a certain voltage - but AC motors just don't work this way. They are generally wound to run at a certain speed based on the HZ they rate you to be allowed to drive them at. Typically at 50 or 60HZ which is what we would, without a VFD, have available to supply it. The VFD will be converting your ac, to dc, and back to ac again, split over 3 phases shifted 120 degrees from each other at a frequency that it can vary depending on your desired RPM - it's not however rewiring your motor to adjust number of poles and so this is why I cannot understand why your manufacturer told you to lie to the VFD about the motors parameters.

Your motor is a dumb bunch of coils - the VFD just needs to know a few key bits of data about how they made this motor so it can do some amazing maths and organise things to run perfectly whilst also protecting your motor - I think the garbage in garbage out saying here is what you are seeing - lie to the VFD about the motor it has connected and it produces a sub-standard result in running it.

In any situation if you are attempting to make use of a certain wattage and you drop the voltage you will always see a rise in current. If you have told that vfd about the motors current rating then it would probably not allow the current to rise and hence not provide the required power which might show in an over-current error on the vfd or a spindle baulking in RPM and available power

Thanks RodW

I did find the manual and translate, it's attached here for anyone else who might come across this device.

Here is the pdos output:

The attached picture shows a usb to serielport plug with the capabilites to connect diferent pins together. Will this plug comunicate with the linux cnc program to run the cnc  lathe to  make a cutting path for wood turning?
The  below information is from the manufacture of this plug. Thanks CJ Cappella

                                                                      Seriel  to usb cable information from manufactureThis USB cable allows a computer or Raspberry Pi to connect directly to an industrial CNC controller. The circuit inside mimics a RS232 serial port, so the computer software can utilize a standard COM port.Standard off the shelf serial cables will generally not work with industrial CNC machines because there are pins that need to be connected together on the DB25 connector. Custom cables can be purchased, or you can make your own. This USB to serial cable makes it easy to add the connections using internal switches that can be configured to your CNC controllers settings, rather than soldering wires together.

The most elegant way would be to load this on a file-load event. signal "file-loaded", see linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/gstat.html.
But if I remember correctly this doesn't work with GladeVCP unfortunately. Therfore the HTML widget must be part of Gmoccapy.

The sample from chapter 2.2 works in gmocappy. But i was thinking it might be better to be able to select a file instead of loading it from the .ngc file. Maybe you are running OP1 and want to look at the setup for OP2.

I created a simple webbrowser like interface, with home dir / back / forward / load file from .ngc / zoom functions.
The file browser is just the default that comes up when you open a folder with file://
Kinda works alright actually, except that the mouse wheel scrolling does not work, maybe the touchscreen will work still have to try it on the real machine.

What does this window contain?

It is blank but has the window title "setup_sheet", same as the .py and .glade file. My guess would be that it gets initialized and when it is done it will be pushed into the embedded tab.

I really hope you went with the DM542 drivers! They are around $17 from stepperionline and significantly better than the TB6600.

./EMCO.hal:10: parameter or pin 'hm2_lhm2.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency' not found

looks like a misspelling in your hal file, the correct name is

hm2_lite.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency

That looks like the fallback configuration
do you have a blinking red  "INIT" LED?

How are jumpers W15 and W16 set?

It hard to tell without more information about the drives
It may be that the all connections/steps needed to enable
the drives have not been done, rather than both drives
being faulty.

Why you not using motion.feed.hold pin?

Hi Guys, I am in Canada so we are prepared to work in any language there is, measurement included. We must remember that an inch is 25.4mm .5 is 12.7 and .250 is 6.35.

I can work in anything but I need this to measure 1" or 25.4mm.

Cheers!

was doing a simple little part with some very common deburing operation so throught id share that part of the code for you here to test with,
i have attached 2 sample G code File, both posted from fusion360 for multi axis deburing,
is posted in Inverse feed mode (G93)
feed rate is quite low due to linuxcnc inability to process multi axis code smoothly so hopefuly will aid in ability to soon run much smooth and faster

use as you wish, I hope it helps with testing out the planner etc on multi axis side of things

if intrested here is a video of what it should do when simulated.


setup wise its posted for a machine of a 3axis + B & C rotary indexer, C rotates around Z , B Around Y
DEBURING OPERATION 5AXIS 2 Contains B & C moves
DEBURING OPERATION 5AXIS  only C Moves in the feed contour
