PathPilot V2 source code

Category: PathPilot

The tp source is not available yet as far as I've been told.
I have also been told its pretty far deviated, so it will not be a simplistic task to add it to the main.

This is just 4th hand information though, and I know nothing about coding so take that for what it's worth :)

What current are they set to?
I have mine at 2A in a shop that gets to 55 degree C in the summer (around 0 right now) and had no issues with them, but i would venture a guess that the one faulting has the chip not laying flat on the cooler, so open it and check if the board/chip are flat and the thermal pad is in place.
Mind you, as a general prevention i did open all of them and also added thermal paste between the chip and pad and heatsink and pad.
All on closed enclosures with no fans.

That makes sense. I thought that would be the problem I just wasn't sure. Thank you very much

Today was a hot day ambient temperature was about 40 degrees Celsius

And the controlbox was switched on all day.
So when I cut a long cut suddenly one of the drivers got hot and shut down. So the tandem axis pulled skew and messed up the whole thing I was cutting.

My control box has no forced cooling would forced cooling help prevent this problem
Or could it be that the driver is damaged?

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

Category: Computers and Hardware

I'm trying to get the gowin toolchain up and running on rpi5. It gives me an error when execute making all.
cnc@raspberrypi:~/riocore/Output/TangNano9K_spi_rpi5/Gateware$ make clean
rm -rf rio.fs rio.json rio_pnr.json rio.tcl abc.history impl
cnc@raspberrypi:~/riocore/Output/TangNano9K_spi_rpi5/Gateware$ make all
gw_sh rio.tcl
/opt/gowin/IDE/bin/gw_sh: 2: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
make: *** [Makefile:34: impl/pnr/project.fs] Error 2
cnc@raspberrypi:~/riocore/Output/TangNano9K_spi_rpi5/Gateware$ 

I see you've already mentioned this error. I downloaded and cloned the dev version and it still doesn't work. Any tips...

I see there is another option 'generic_spi'. I will test that on rpi5 too just to get that toolchain working. I don't want to take the TN9 out of the device and program on windows anymore.


 

I found the gowin toolchain a major problem to get running on a few systems like a current LTS release of Ubuntu, so I built a docker container for the oss-cad-suite. Meister added one for the gowin toolchain, and one for oss-cad-suite on the pi. I think the pi one should work fine on the pi5 too.

I was able to flash directly using the oss-cad-suite one with a T9 on a pi4, but it's been a while. At the very least, the Dockerfiles have the details on getting the toolchain working.

Give this a try, it's the oss-cad-suite instead of gowin but it supports the T9 IIRC.

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

Category: Computers and Hardware

I get the command line console and it quits out with ctrl+d as you say, but I'm still getting the same issue, I had changed the filename to something other than config.json to suit the machine, so I changed it back to config.json but no dice.
 

It might be easier to use the docker container, see the documentation in the git repo. github.com/multigcs/riocore/blob/main/DOCKER.md

Otherwise, gw_sh must be callable in the same terminal session you start the riocore tooling in.

It may be simpler to add the gowin bin path to your system path.
Start a new terminal, and 
echo $PATH

if you don't see your gowin bin dir listed somewhere in there, how you're setting the path is not working.

In case you weren't aware, on a digital-input selector switch - say for jog increment - you only need 2 input pins to have three available states.

Both inputs off = state/value #1 (just leave this switch pole disconnected)
In1 on, In2 off = state/value #2
In1 off, In2 on = state/value #3

 

I am aware, but I also need two input pins for four available states, so I don't have any practical reason to limit it to three. I hadn't originally planned to go all the way from micron to mm on the scale, I can do it with no extra work, so I will! The axis selection switch will be off + x + y+ z. That is, if that's even allowed LOL.

In either hardware case, I think the HAL file magic lies in using a HAL component named wcomp.  If you’re not familiar with LCNC and HAL, ‘components’ are like little mini-programs that create virtual pins with behavior specific to that component.

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/wcomp.9.html

 

A Google search of HAL WCOMP LINUXCNC, in any combination, returns zero results. However, I found a manual last revised in 2007 so it wasn't all for naught: linuxcnc.org/docs/2.1/HAL_User_Manual.pdf

I'll do some reading. Thanks!
