Simplest way to add analog channel?

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

That makes a lot of sense. I ordered the LM331's and will report if that works.

Beckhoff EL2522 (step/ pulse module) setup help

Category: EtherCAT

Hi all

I have some Beckhoff EK1100 with different modules connected. Most of the modules work, but my 2522 extension is not supported (yet) by LinuxCNC ethercat.

Can someone give me a hint on how to integrate this? I am looking at the Beckhoff xml file but not sure how to integrate this into Linuxcnc especiuall with the stepgen/dir signal.

Any hints would be appreciated.

EDIT: So I just realized that there is already an implementation of the 2521 pulse train module. So I can start with this then ....

Minimal setup for touch probe and tool setter ?

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hello,

I use this method.
With a flying probe that is in a fixed position to measure the tool and for Z I place it on the workpiece, for this the correct probe height (switching point) must be entered in QTDragon.

Frank wishes everyone best wishes, good health and a lovely relaxing holiday.

Skew correction/perpendicularity correction (millkins or millkins_xyz)

As a little illustration I 'added' the skew-y to xyzbc tcp kinematics in what we might think would do the trick:

Note that things seem to look great when we start out with no rotation of the table:
 

However when we rotate the table 90° we realize that we have actually skewed the Work Coordinate system:

Skew correction/perpendicularity correction (millkins or millkins_xyz)

Category: Basic Configuration

When I said

add the 'skew-y' pin and the corrective terms to the forward and inverse kinematic models


I meant you have to come up with a complete kinematic model for TCP where the machine coordinate system is skewed (ie no longer cartesian).
I'm afraid this is MUCH more complex than to just copy/paste a few lines from one file to another.
Basically what would be needed (I think) is a skew matrix multiplied to the beginning of the forward transformation:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/motion/5-axis-kinematics.html
Note that adding skew to pure rotation and translation is likely going to make the derivation of the inverse kinematic more challenging.

PDO variable 64 bit was created by papagno-source

PDO variable 64 bit

Category: EtherCAT

One questions about variable can use with PDO.
On drive with 26 bit encoder , the PDO coomand position and encoder feedback position , if use float , is saturated with screew 10mm in 328 cm about.
The solution are 2 :
1- change gear numerator and denominator in drive
2-can declare in xml file a variable 64 bit

The 64 bit not is supported ?

here the square bracket was wrong, maybe that also leads to calculation errors
#<zworkoffset> = [#5063 + [#5203 + [#5220 * 20]]]

You need to be careful with parameter index vs parameter value:
this will add the index offset of the currently active work offset system to the _value_ of parameter 5203 (which is what you do not want here):
 [#5203 + [#5220 * 20]]

while this will add the index offset to 5203 to get the parameter index of the z-offset for the currently active work offset system and thus will give the value of the currently active work offset system (which is what is needed here):
 #[5203 + [#5220 * 20]]

Skew correction/perpendicularity correction (millkins or millkins_xyz)

Category: Basic Configuration

Hi , Aciera
About 4 days .
I can only do this much (attacth file),
and the things I can't do are:
J[0], J[1], J[2]. I don't know how to transform them into the same format as trtkins (it's use joints).

int xyzacKinematicsInverse(const EmcPose * pos,
                           double *joints,
                           const KINEMATICS_INVERSE_FLAGS * iflags,
                           KINEMATICS_FORWARD_FLAGS * fflags)

Hope you advice me for next step.

Thank you,
Asis

#<tool_length> = [#<zworkoffset> - #<_ini[VERSA_TOOLSETTER]Z_REF>]

To Probe Basic from Gmoccapy

Category: QtPyVCP

Ok, I dont know if I have stuffed anything up, but I have cleared the errors and it is now at least running. Partially functional.

This is what I did for reference.

a) In /halib I took a copy of the probe_basic_postgui.hal, called it D_probe_basic_postgui.hal, and then proceeded to delete everything in probe_basic_postgui.hal. So basically probe_basic_postgui.hal it is a file with nothing in it. 

If this requires content for Probe Basic to function properly, please advise.

b) In the "machine name".ini file I have replicated the lines that have a "# Recommended Setting for Probe Basic". I have then deleted all of the "# Recommended Setting for Probe Basic"  comments from one of each of these lines.

e.g. 
#MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE = 2.00000                                            # Recommended Setting for Probe Basic
MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE = 2.00000

From what I can tell the error was because the number was being interpreted as a string because of the comment. So without "# Recommended Setting for Probe Basic" it now reads as a number.

This may well be the issue with the other lines like User_Tabs etc... being interpreted as a complete string and therefore being read incorrectly.

So if I have made any errors here, please let me know as I am a Newbie and NOT a programmer by any stretch. I do no programming at all and very new to Linux.... like weeks. I just follow my nose and hack. So any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
