Hi all,

I've changed my setup to use an ethernet-based Mesa board rather than a PCI slot one. As a result, I have the old 5I25 Superport board which I have no use for. $10 for postage and its yours. Send me an email if you're interested.

So far I have evaded shorts!

I am way ahead of you, this is also my channel

If disconnecting motor from drive while powered on:
-TB6560 will die
-TB6600 will die
-TB6600 that is not TB6600 will most probably survive
The last ones use TB67S109 chip inside despite being named TB6600, it is much better but can do a bit lower current.
I have over 20 of the TB67S109 in daily use, the only issue i had with them is the DIP switches on 4 of those would switch at random from vibrations, so i soldered them.

Well done.

So let's do a quick recap to facilitate other users.
The procedure is correct except for the error in step 9, where is written "/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_gladevcp", instead of "/usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp/".
Is that right?

Hmm I see the level shifter for the UART pins on the PRO is not present on the regular octopus v1.1(where i tested more stuff). I am having issues with another board that has a level shifter on the UART, so I will ask around if its working and test out this week and will report back

Wait. YouTube is now forcing people to do shorts?
Granted it has been a while since I posted a video on YouTube.
But if they want to push that it will be a bunch of 15 second
videos of paint drying.

However, I don't understand why G-code "96: G1 X345 Y100 Z0 F600", runs properly with F600, but when I use G-code "97: G1 X0 Y0 Z0 F600", it fails to run.

It likely depends on the maximum velocity reached, (which is acceleration and GCODE dependent)
at some point the stepgen component cannot generate steps fast enough at the current base
thread period so falls behind, causing  a following error.
