oh and usb 1.1? thats some old stuff from the "plug and pray" days!

yes it is, it has never ever failed me, so i keep it in my "go bag" with all the expensive tools i use in the field, it deserves it.
BTW, disable IPV6 on the PC, there is still no use for it.

Hi all,

Today a new feature is added to the planner.

Jog in pause state.

It captures keyboard buttons for xyz axis in pause state.
This feature should work for every used linuxcnc gui, axis, gmocappy, qtvcp, etc. The whole mickmack.
When resuming the motion, the xy is running back to pause-pos, then the z is running back to pause-pos.

Next feature is tangential knife.
Will do that next time.

Oh wow... I've been racking my brain because of a spelling mistake...

thanks tommy, gonna give that a try. i have some old parts lying around and i think i will stretch some cables and give it a dry run this afternoon out in the shop. when this is done, there will be 4 machines all with mesa cards and if this works out it will make life alot easier with just one station to control all of them. ill post after i run some tests...

There should be no Base Period in use for Mesa boars, only if using a parallel port together with them.

Ini file, axis y / joint 2 section still says AXIS Z
Andit is miss spelled, should be COORDINATES

Easy, you have the hardware, connect stuff and test by running some gcode in "air cutting" mode, see if it drops the connection.
As for throughput, i have a very old USB to LAN adapter that i am pretty sure is USB 1.1 and it works fine for Mesa directly connected to it.
I also tested laptop to Mesa through a gigabit switch and had no issues but those were the only things attached to the switch.
And i would venture a guess that any access point will fail miserably and drop connections even if PC and Mesa are using LAN, not WiFi, at any point any request from WiFi goes to PC or Mesa and vice versa.

and the result of

1 more PWM added (this is Efinix for 7I92T)

 

 

ok. so i found that there was no line for the A-axis in the main HAL file.. Added that one, and now that input shows up as well.
However, still no movement.

You have "loadrt HM2_ETH " twice in the hal file, there can be only one ... (insert HighLander movie quote here)

Lower MAX_VELOCITY in the ini file, both in the display section and TRAJ section.
Those numbers should be in mm/s, so 100 means 100mm/s or 6M/minute.
