I want to create two ATCs on the same machine.
I want to use two carousel components.
the first ATC I call T01 M6 G43.

How to call the second ATC tool??
ex: ..2 M6 G43

In other words, I want to have 2 tool towers, and I need to call the tools from the second tower.
Sorry for my English.

The UX and UI in Heidenhain is a catastrophe compared to Datron imo. I believe in touch for basically everything except stuff like start/stop/jog/feed+spindle override where you might need to take action quickly. I'm sure you can find examples of the Datron UI on youtube.

Semiotics and hierarchy is highly important in any UX/UI, so if anything I would work on that.

You had given me a config string a few months ago in discussion from another thread:

PCW-  "Judging by the pdf I think this is correct, not sure about the initial null though

           "biss_chan_0=null%1bcrc%6fwarning%1berror%1bzero%2uencoder%24e"

            (the added "zero" is for the zeros bits in the 26 bit position code"

I didn't understand it at the time. I'll try this and report back if it works.

Hi Chich. It's Brad as mentioned by Rodw. I am interested in at least I set. How much are you after? Would need them posted too. He listed my number happy for you to call. Cheers.

Hi Guys,
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a TangBOB board that I am trying to get a N4D3E16 MODBUS board (16 Digital In - 16 Digital Out) to work with.
This board will only allow Function codes 3 (Read Status) and 6 (Control Command).
I have all 16 inputs working well through to LinuxCNC, but I can't get the outputs to work. When I configure RIOCore to use function 6, it seems to assign it as a float, and so in the testgui it shows up as a slider.
Attached are a couple of pics of my configs and a page from the modbus boards manual.
I am hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction here.

Thanks
Andrew

 

you can use the serial commands with a terminal like picocom.
try picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
But the spiethconfig does not work. Use the default settings

Thank you for the reply! Sorry for the perhaps stupid questions, this is the first time for me with linuxcnc, ethercat and linux in general basically...

However I guess that means that the Etherlabs people have to do some kind of update for it to be compatible?

I guess I will continue on the 6.1.69 image from Cornholio then. I was able to update it to lcnc 2.9.4 and install ethercat through you guides (would not have been possible without them, so huge thank you!), and I guess it does not really matter to have the latest kernel right?

my bad. seems its not compatibleBuilding initial module for 6.12.11
