Hey cooped-up.
Im at a similar stage of retrofit on an MH800w.
Following closely! did you manage to get the machine latched and out of E-stop?
Thanks Paul

What have you tried? Which Leadshine drive model?
I am going to propose to use PV mode. It is similar to a vfd.
You just give a speed and the driver ramps up and down as needed.
I have not tried it myself, and I don't have a driver to try it so it is up to you.
I foresee that the cia402 component needs modification, it only handles csp and csv.

I just migrated from Mach4 and Pokeys57cnc, and was hoping to keep Postep60-256 drives in my new setup. I wired postep drive to Mesa 7i96s as follows: Postep pins 1/2/3/5, 2 to TB1 pin1 (GND) / 3 to TB1 pin5 (DIR+) / 5 to TB1 pin3 (STEP+) and 1(enable) to TB3 pin13 (OUT-).
I have been at it for about a week now, I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. Using Pncconf wizard, the home/limit/ estop are working but the drives are not getting enabled and the stepper motors are not getting any pulse.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
ps! I am very new to Linuxcnc, migrating from Mach for almost 2 decades.

Well I had that set to 0 so I figured it would stay at 0 but perhaps I should make it set to be further in the other direction

I log data the following way, LOGAPPEND extends the file, while LOGOPEN overwrites with new content
 

Thank you, I'll try

backlash should be seen an all part,
first i would try to repeat it with very slow feed rates

Just noticed that the handwheel is (probably) already available in the newest linuxcnc. I tried it via a 5 year old YT Video. It is probably much more easy for the basic functions.
I try to do it now...

You folks have been awesome helping a retired guy get into LinuxCNC. Thank you for your patience as I get my machine working properly.

One lase issue.

The .ngc probe code is working flawlessly, however, the (probeopen filename.txt) is not opening a file and therefore not capturing the measurements. what might be the problem and how do I resolve it?

Kind regards

Seems like backlash, lots of it, not lost steps.
