Hello!

I got the same trouble like you...
You found a solution about?

regards,
Jürgen

hello, I am trying to download linuxcnc 2.6.11 which is the version used by the sherline lathe that I will get in a couple of weeks. They charge 900 dollars for a computer with the linuxcnc which is absurd so I wanted to try doing it on my own. I got a dell optiplex 7010 and downloaded the latest version of ubuntu.

I then tried to download linuxcnc 2.6.11 via the terminal with many errors every time (with the help of chatGPT) with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb linuxcnc.org/ buster base 2.7-rtai'

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-key 3CB9FD148F374FEF

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc

I tried using precise base and other bases along with the associated keys

each time I get errors such as "unable to locate linuxcnc" or "skipping acquired file XXX...does not have the component 2.7-rtai" or ""the following signatures couldnt be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY XXXXX"

edit: another error is "the repository 'linuxcnc.org buster inrelease' is not signed. updating from such a repository cant be done securely and is disabled by default

Can someone please please help me with some idiot-proof instructions on how to download this older version?

do you have any resources for scaling and maximum output?

I had the same problem on a fresh install, but not using a ATC. After I entered manual tool change in HAL the tool touch off sub exited as expected. Not identical circumstances, but perhaps close enough to pinpoint the issue.

Hello Herr Columbo,

I am fishing in the same "trüben Teich".
Just started with the liniuxcnc thing ... my last project was a retrofit of an EMCO 3 axis router runing at MACH4.
Now I want retofit an old TOS with 5 Axis and LINUXCNC....
My equipment so far is a Beckhoff EK1100 and EL6751 (SLAVE), Dell Optiplex i7 SFF and some DELTA Servos (B3M).
The Servo motors are with CANopen so thats why the EL6751 should translate to EtherCAT - right?
Right now I am following tu get further...
Maybe you could give me some advice to get out of the struggle?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Jürgen
Could you share

it moves to sensor when i clik button (go to sensor)    error shows in status tab,  after i clik ok to touch off

-i do not have customizations to Qtdragon

herre is log from status when i try to touchoff :

by reinstall linuxcnc library fix it maybe ( github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/lib )

 

Qtdragon has a setup page that displays an optional PDF/HTML file.
If you name the PDF/HTML the same as the NGC file then they will both be loaded.
There is also a basic HTML writer included.
I had plans for easy ways to add pics and the tooltable but I don't think <i finished them.

It could probably be written as a qtvcp panel that could be embedded in other screens.
What Info does it need to display?
From memory I believe a user asked for it because some programs already create a PDF or HTML page.

talla you are a legend, ive watched several of your videos but they are usually in german, but this time you have it in english total kudos to you for doing that, i also saw a link to this on facebook so its doing the rounds, im going to try and get this installed on my machine but im in the process off setting up another pc with much lower latency for software stepping, and i already have a vfd.xml and post_gui.hal and it is throwing me off but im gonna try the 2.0 install and see how i get on, hopefully its the last thing i need to do before i start making chips and not worry about tuning and configurations, id also like to thank the devs for their time and effort they put into linuxcnc, its a major headache for a noob like me but the software has amazing potential and im going to stick with it

I agree it seems the wrong place.
How do you propose INI button functions would work?
a list of builtin functions that can be enabled?
What functions?

You haven't given me much info to go on, but yes the touchoff routine changed awhile back.
Can you post the exact error message?
Do you have any customizations to Qtdragon?
Can you run qtdragon in -d debug mode, from a terminal and post the text?

Hi,

I was able.to reproduce the problem.
linuxcnc tries to set the operational state before setting the synchronisation mode. This causes the drive to go into error state.

I was able to simulate this in the twincat shell.
By delaying operational mode(by default) until sync is started the drive can be put into OP mode. If the option "delaying OP mode until start of sync" is disabled in twincat the drive shows the same _f0 error after setting status to OP. See github.com/OpenEtherCATsociety/SOEM/issues/609
And

for more Info.

Hello,

There is much discussion in regard to homing over ECAT. I see that you use a homing switch in your axis hal. Seeing that you have the Y as a tandem axis, how do you handle the homing? Or is there anything that needs to be done? Did you try using the ABS encoder so that no homing or homing to a switch is required? If so, did you find any complications that brought you back to homing via the switch?

As far as the spindle scaling over ECAT, do you think this is only isolated to the output for lcec spindle? Seems odd if so. Wouldn't the speed calculation be derived from the same spot as the analog for Mesa?

Great job on the setup. Your files are clean and well documented.

your config file had alot of configurations for things not being used then it seems
you may want to clean things out to the bare minimum and add back in one piece at a time. having so many unused configuration bits can cause a plethora of headaches and conflicts.

if i were to do it over again i would have doubled the size of the motor on the X axis in relationship to the size of the Y motors. i skimped on the power supplies and should have spent a little more for 48V rather than 36V too. wider belts might not have been a bad idea as well as long as sharp bends don't kill the life as a result.

this was a R & D type project for me and i had no idea what to expect but i'm happy to pass along my finings. the machine does well for what it is and i am just nit picking on little stuff. But regardless i tiny machine like this could be a time saver for you i think.

i have updated linuxCNC and now my auto tool messuerment is not working
is something changed ?
linuxcnc 2.10
Touchoff subroutine path not found at:/usr/lib/python/qtvcp/lib/touchoff_subprogram.py
