Florida actually. Though probably about the same governmental mind set as Texas. LOL

Not sure what the issue is, it works for me (LinuxCNC 2.9.4).
did you choose a lathe XZ configuration at the beginning?

Also note that stepgen 5 is used for the charge-pump
so you need to enable al 6 stepgens to have that available

 

I tried pulling up multiple video's today on my Linux and windows 10 laptops and every single time no matter the video
it requested that I log in to view the videos. Video's that played just fine yesterday (tutorials on Tkinter) now request
that I log in. whether it's official policy is immaterial. It's the fact that it's happening.

ihavenofish If you're able to watch YouTube without logging in then perhaps there is some technical aspect in the mix
that I don't know about, region, country, municipality, internet provider. ect. any of the above could be it. 
 I will try my machines when I get home and see if there is a difference.

OK, now this makes sense. yes, this will be country - or likely state - specific. You happen to be in texas? I know they just implements some form of this.

This isn't youtube's fault though, this is the government of wherever you live. They just have to follow the laws.
 

Nice, i am glad.
It is unreasonable not having several PC's these days, have work stuff separate from fun stuff and those separate from gaming stuff, etc etc, since the used PC's are very cheap and Linux is perfectly usable on them.

You have 1 active PWM generator but no pin out for it chosen, so either set the PWM number to 0 or select a pin for spindle PWM

  Fortunately the only thing that gets truly logged onto at work is Fusion 360. I will be changing the password on that
momentarily. everything else is either off line or no log in used. My Linux laptop gets a complete wipe and re install 
every so often anyway. It's also what I usually play Youtube on. 

Pncconf found the card, read the settings and they are displayed.
I chose a lathe X-Z axis for the test.
I configured the X-Z spindle PWM and the Charge pump encoder end positions etc...
It doesn't let me proceed, it says no axis or PWM is configured.
What did you do wrong?
A few pictures of the settings.

I see. Thanks for clarifying why the manual states that there are advantages to using a bitfile that is not distributed compiled in the archive of supported software that is linked to next to it on this page: store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...ct_id=58&search=6i25

You should use a clean PC to change all the passwords, right now.
The browsers are most probably hijacked on both of those that require login, so someone somewhere has all your login data.
As a general rule, do not click on any link that you see, that is really, really bad, and the main reason i keep repeating on this forum to upload stuff on our server, not on 3rd party web sites due to scripts those sites use to track and spy on every damn thing on your PC.

would you be able to point to where the issue is in the .xml file ?

  Currently my  home Linux desktop can play YouTube videos without the whole log into prove you are not a bot thing
and that could mean that the internet at work triggers something on YouTube that makes it
think that my computers at work are  bots of some kind. (strange that it didn't yesterday) 
So yes, I concede it may be just a technical issue, 

And btw there may be an error in your ethercat-conf.xml file. Two slave lines for idx=3.
 

how to call:
o<subroutineX1> call [4.1] [3] [12]

returnvalue:
o<subroutineX1> endsub [#<FW>]
M2


returned value #<FW> as  #<_value>
(debug,#<_value>)

if   #<_value>  is needed for further processing, its required to save to a parameter, next subroutine return will overwrite  #<_value> with new returnvalue

 

Apparently the net naming was conflicting with the ethercat naming. renamed and now its fine. had to mess with the spindle scaling but now its perfect.

So ultimately in my custom.hal the pins were simply not connecting the to the spindle.0 commands, and the names had to be changed so they didnt conflict with ethercat.

So chatgpt DID get it right, it just didnt not know (how) to resolve the conflict and went on a bizarre hallucination.

Thanks guys, I think at the end of it I actually understand this all now, and am not just slapping random code in going "why's it borked?"

PCW is from Mesa, most if not all the vhd code bears his name.

The thing is is not just Linuxcnc that his products are used for.
