Hey guys!
Successfully installed firmware, now it's moving
Do you have a full config .file, for spindle, inputs, outputs etc. for sample?
Tried to add homing switches, I wrote remora.input.03 but it said unkown pin.
I have dual Y axis, I followed the tutorials but only one motor is moving, if I set sync home sequence it will be OK?

Great to hear. There are example configs in the following link. Check out the hypercube hal and ini files. This shows how to setup dual axes. Dual Z in this case but the same is for dual Y. For a dual axis setup, don't jog in manual until after you have homed the axes, they will not jog together until homed.

Yes it is.

I think you might be missing this in your hal file:

net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-changed

 

Now that you mention it, yes, I do not remember putting these iocontrol pins anywhere. I knew that I might be making some stupid mistake. I guess I will go to workshop to check although I just put kids to sleep.

 To be honest, no, I did not try that because on previous retrofit it worked. IMHO specifying M command and then its parameters makes sense, doing other way around feels awkward and wrong. But ok, I will try that.

I am testing from MDI. I _think_ that I tried a test file once but am not sure. Ok, that is 3rd point in my list to check.

I will take a look, it is very likely that I have deleted/overwritten it. And the lack of errors is exactly what makes it difficult as I have absolutely no clue where to look. I think that lack of those iocontrol HAL pins seems to be very likely cause, on my way to check that.

I documented my e-stop setup using an external safety relay in the post linked below:

forum.linuxcnc.org/12-milling/50559-opti...rsion?start=0#284533

Maybe it will help you get your setup up and running.

if estop-latch.N.ok-out goes false, one of these must have changed:

estop-latch.N.ok-in  goes false
estop-latch.N.fault-in goes true

So I would watch these in halshow or halscope to see whats happening.

I also don't understand why you have two estop latches. It seems that one
should be sufficient (adding some logic if you need to add fault inputs or OK inputs)



 

I think you might be missing this in your hal file:


[edit]

for troubleshooting it might also make sense to use the 'show halconfiguration' to watch the iocontrol.* pins like
iocontrol.0.tool-prepare
iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
iocontrol.0.tool-change

Just so we are on the same page, I presume you have tried the suggested (ie reversed M6 T..):

Below is the current set up as of last night. Bench testing worked as expected. It goes from there to a Parallel port break out board. This allwos me to use my machine with LinuxCNC and laserGRBL with just changing a plug. I tried to find out the current rating of the 3.3V and 5V power supply of the Tang Nano 9k. According to the schematics, it seems like that there is a TMI7003C DC/DC Step down, which gets it's 5V directly from the USB C port. If I read it correct, it can supply a max current of 1.5A total. That'a including the power for the FPGA,...It seems like the each Output of the Tang can drive up to 24mA. Which obviusley need to be deducted from the 1.5A plus the other current demands of the FPGA board. Still I believe there is plenty of current to drive secondary operations.The 1.8V needed for Bank 3 is not availbale at FPGA board. I was wondering if I could just use 1 or 2 1.8V outputs, set them pernantley to high and use them as supply voltage for any leverl shifter at Bank3. Opinions? 



 

Running normal g-code files is ok, I have made quite a few test parts

So if you have a tool-change (ie M6 T..) inside a gcode then the file executes all the way with the toolchange being ignored?

Config is in first post, starts with Biesse.ini

What I meant is post the first config you added the remap to and the errors you got there before you modified the sim config. The problem with the current situation is that nothing happens and there are no errors which makes troubleshooting very difficult.
