Help needed for conversion of old ( and loved ) Mach3 MPG

Category: Basic Configuration

Hi folks,

i tried remapping the keys on my usb-MPG with keyd, but i struggle importing them into the hal.

Is there a prefered way of remapping keys for linuxcnc and do you have a link to a turorial or a manual?

Thanks in advance,

Greets Tom

Frage zu 7I96?

Category: Deutsch

Hallo,
noch eine Frage zur Sicherheit. An der 7I96 habe ich 5V , Dir0+ , Dir0- ., Step0+ , Step0- , Gnd.
Am Stepperdriver habe ich Ena- , CW- , Clk- , 5V . Ena würde ich nicht beschalten, braucht man nicht unbedingt.
Ich würde jetzt 5V mit 5V , Dir0- mit CW- und Step0- mit Clk- verbinden. 
Haltet ihr das für richtig?
MfG
Hans

LinuxCNC-RIO - RealtimeIO for LinuxCNC based on FPGA (ICE40 / ECP5)

Category: Computers and Hardware

Dear meister:

I’d like to correct some information. While browsing through the old posts, I noticed that on page 100 you shared a product link. However, that is actually not my product link, I only sell my products on Taobao. Based on today’s exchange rate, the price is approximately USD 29.61.I only had a small batch made by JLC for my own DIY projects, so there’s no real cost advantage.

I did a few more tests, and with a short Gcode file of ~1500 lines, it works fine, disabling the spindle on the first try. If the file is already ~2000 lines long, there's a problem. This value may vary on different machines, but you can try shortening or extending the number of lines. The beginning and end of the file remain the same. Try test.ngc.

The voice can be helpful with testing HAL stuff. Qtvcp has a test_led component that can speak on hal pin state changes.

Maybe the problem is a race condition that doesn't effect me. I'll get looking.
I wonder if adding a m5 to the abort script would help?

Just did a test on 2.10 sim that was probably compiled a year ago, besides not letting me run any gcode complaining ... ne, SCREAMING at me "abort something or another 3" , but it did turn the spindle on once and did require stop twice to turn off.

P.S.
No idea who thought adding sound/voice to cnc machine controller was smart, although it would be hilarious if it did scream some profanities when making mistakes, but since i always have music playing in the shops (loudly), it might give a heart attack to anyone else in the shop. :)

If no one else is having this problem, then it's clearly just me. There's no point in pursuing this further.

That's strange, though, because I downloaded the entire program from Git, compiled it, and the same problem persists. Older master builds don't have this problem.
With a freshly compiled program, I open one of the default qtdragon configurations, open some gcode, run it, press stop, and the program stops, but the spindle doesn't turn off. I have to press stop again to turn the spindle off.

After running a few tests, it appears that, in my case, the problem was caused by a missing software package. Installing gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 fixed the issue for me.

It is also worth mentioning that I installed Glade and configured it to use GTK 3.16 and WebKit2GTK 2.28.

For reference, I am running LinuxCNC 2.9.8 RMD on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Hopefully, this helps anyone experiencing a similar issue.

If you use 7i97t_7i74d.bin firmware,  sserial channel 0 is on the 7I97T and
sserial channels 1..7 are on the 7I74.  (Physical channel 0 is skipped on the 7I74)

There is a bug in the MPG encoder mode parameters (marked read only) ,
so we will have a firmware update coming.

HITBOX HBC65 – CNC interface pinout / signal specs?

Category: Plasma & Laser

It seems all there from my quick review.
Voltage output is raw 1:1 (probably reduced to non lethal amperage)
Includes torch on  and arc OK.

Usually, the arcOK is a dry contact relay. Miimium current is usually 100 mA.You need to respect this otherwise oxidisation can result in intermittent operation. There are a couple of ways to do this discussed in the qtplasmac docs.

Press Brake CNC control - possible?

Nice, thank you.
From reading i was thinking it is a smaller machine, but no, this would be medium sized press brake from my experience, as i had to deal with a 48 ton (weight) one.

So tried lcec.activate, but that results in an error that activate isn't a valid command.

I have however juggled things to match the first lines in scottlaird's example HAL files in the linuxcnc-ethercat github ( linuxcnc-ethercat/tests/scottlaird-lcectest1/cia402-all.hal at 31e3f343ccc2438d7ae0f843b1819f3926b44bc3 · linuxcnc-ethercat/linuxcnc-ethercat · GitHub ), and LinuxCNC now starts, but I can't seem to get any response from the drives. They do go online, as I can see on them that they've been allocated slave numbers, although strangely they're in the reverse order (first in the chin is 03, with the last being 01).

I've attached my files to see if anybody can spot anything obvious.
