Button on Linuxcnc interface that switches an output on Mesa 7i76e on and off

Category: GladeVCP

I think 6.1.0-30-rt should probably be OK. (though I think that the packages were built on 6.1.0.10-rt )

I think this was resolved in the develop branch, multiple offsets but was something we found also, you can upgrade to the develop version which should resolve the issue

Button on Linuxcnc interface that switches an output on Mesa 7i76e on and off

Category: GladeVCP

Hello,
you answered one of my posts. Can you help me installing the right kernel. I don´t know how to do it.

"Try repeating after typing
sudo apt purge raspi-firmware
If you still gets errors, share the output of uname -r as it appears it is trying to install an incorrect kernel version. "

I got this message 6.1.0-30-rt-amd64

Why not just write a simple G-code program to probe your 5 points and log the data to file?

Additional hardware-button for coolant

Category: Gmoccapy

On my lathe I fitted a 3-position switch, labelled with "on - auto - off". This allows me to override the G-code if required, to either on or off.

The HAL to do this looks like this:
net coolant-off hm2_7i84.008a.input-25
net coolant-on hm2_7i84.008a.input-26

loadrt mux_generic config="bb4"
addf mux-gen.00 servo-thread
net coolant-off mux-gen.00.sel-bit-00
net coolant-on mux-gen.00.sel-bit-01
net coolant-flood mux-gen.00.out-bit => hm2_7i84.008a.output-08
net coolant-auto iocontrol.0.coolant-flood mux-gen.00.in-bit-00
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-01 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-02 1
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-03 0

Possibly not the simplest way, I suppose that it could have been done with simple AND and NOT components

coolant-out = (coolant _flood OR coolant_on) AND (NOT coolant_off)

Or even LUT5.
Truth-table for LUT5
coolant_flood | 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
coolant_on    | 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
coolant_off   | 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

coolant_out   | 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0

LUT5 Mask = 14 (0x0E)

Additional hardware-button for coolant

Category: Gmoccapy

Hello,
I would like to add a hardware button for cooling, for example.
Currently, my *.hal entry looks like this:
net coolant-flood     <=  iocontrol.0.coolant-flood => hm2_7i96s.0.7i84.0.0.output-11

This allows me to switch the coolant on and off via the GUI.

How can I add the hardware button (push button)?
I want to be able to continue switching it on and off in the GUI and see that the cooling is switched on. 

Thanks

Well yesterday and this morning before work I was able to not only correct the wiring for the encoders which works now, but also figured out my issue with the 2x20 pin header wiring issue. I now realize a note I read on another document that the output is not alternating between the top and bottom row but is straight across the top then the bottom. Now that the wiring is squared away I just need to figure out the gearbox shifting logic to make the machine in theory functional. Well that and build the operating panel which the screen is on its way.
