I'm lost about your expectations. You have to log in  as a YouTube  user to post a video to your channel and you have to log in to post comments on my videos so what's wrong with being logged in to view stuff? At least YouTube can recommend videos to you...

Still poking cause this is bugging me. Instead of telling chatgpt to make me code, instead I asked it why it's broken.

What it tells me is that motion.spindle basically doesn't work with modbus directly and pins wont be created and there's no simple automagic way to have m commands work out of the box.

It says this is a limitation of axis (what I have it running while I'm testing) and QT dragon doesn't have this limitation.

Before I follow it down another hole, does this sound like its correct? I want qtdragon anyway, it just was not installed because I did this all from scratch.

  Well looks like YouTube has finally done it . They are now making you sign in to watch ANYTHING . At least in the USA,
I don't know about everywhere else.  That said I will be shutting down my channel so all my video's I have links too on
this site and elsewhere will soon be dead.
There excuse is preventing Bots from clicking on video's  Funny they don't seem to have a problem with all the A.I. 
slop that has proliferated the site.

addendum
After some looking into it seems the culprit was not with YouTube it self but something else ISP, ect,ect. exact
issue still unknown. so I will leave my channel in place for now. 

 

Very difficult to say, you give me no clues.
You have to show the error messages from linuxcnc startup, that is the biggest help.
I kind of think you have not installed the component?
"sudo halcompile --install cia402pv.comp"
should put the component in the right place.
Anyway, I have to see the errors you get. A general description is not enough.

.Hal file I am using 

Hi Hakan thanks for your help  to configure the drive. 
Unfortunately I am having no luck in getting it to work. 
I have attached my files below do you mind having a look to see if there is anything obvious I am missing?  
I am very new to linux so am struggling to work out when using the loadrt command in the .hal file  where the other  file is loading from? 

Thanks Will 


 

just for kicks, chat gpt has sent me down several roads that i know are wrong.

1st it tried to use motion component, but it has no spindle pins defined.(i expect these need to be set up in the main ini or hal but it couldnt tell me

so this in said i could use the spindle components... and then realised its read only.

then it took to just fabricating pins and functions that dont exist.

sigh. and this is what we have trying to run out law enforcement cameras? mmmmm good times.

Wouldn't surprise me if /etc/ethercat.conf got overwritten. Anyway, check syslog.

I guess onceloved has a solution and you don't need to disable eoe in the master after that.

On a more general note it seems EoE and linuxcnc will not work together.
EoE as such may work, if that helps with configuration of a drive for example.
Reference is this post. forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/53961-eoe-configuration#311275

Thank you for your help in advance, I have tried to reinstall ethercat master and trying to disable eoe, but its getting worse with the ethercat service can't start. I hope I can continue to update when it works with onceloved's help

ooh, thanks

ill look at this when i wake up. im burned out from trying to make chatgpt give me something useful haha

Probably invented hot water, again!

Hallo miteinander,ich konnte keine vernünftigen Datenblätter für diesen Antrieb irgendwo finden.Schade denn ich hätte diesen Antrieb gut gebrauchen können. Jetzt habe ich Plan B umgesetzt.Wenigstens konnte ich das Getriebe retten, ich habe ein Adapter gebaut und wie ihr seht ein JMC Servo verbaut.Im Anhang findet ihr ein Bild.Vielen Dank an alle die das gelesen haben.Viele Grüße.

This is what Ethercat master documentation says
 

Two places to modify

Read out the sii info with "ethercat -p 0 sii_read"

1. Supported mailbox protocols.
Like it says in the figure, word 0x1C byte 0x38, bit 0x02 specifies EoE support.
Clear that bit for no support.
To orient yourself, you should find bit 3, 0x04, set for CoE support.

2. Enabled EoE mailboxes.

To find the byte that specifies drive EoE mailbox enabled:

In the read sii file, use some kind of hex editor.
Skip 0x80 bytes forward over the hardware config info
Byte 0x80-0x81 is 0x1a00 meaning strings section
Byte 0x82-0x83 is a word specifying the length of the string section.
  Example : 0xd100 = 209(dec) words.
  Add 1 to make it even: 210 words.
  Multiply by 2 to make number of bytes: 420.
  Add two for the size of the 0x1a00 identifier word: 422
  Sum up 128 + 422 = 550. Hex 0x226
At bytes 0x226-0x227 one finds 0x1e00 meaning general information section
0x228-0x229 is a word specifying the length of the general section
EoE mailbox specifier is now byte 9 in this section: 0x231 
To orient yourself, byte 8 (0x230) is FoE mailbox specifier, CoE details are in byte 7, (0x22f)

To disable EoE, first verify that the specified byte is 1. Then, write a zero in that position.


Upload the modified sii file to the drive again with "ethercat -p n sii_write mod_eeprom"

Personally, I wouldn't do this. I would use a Ethercat master with EoE disabled.

The above is only theoretical and may be wrong. Don't use it.
