First attempt at physically fitting everything together.


Need to work on the 24V and 5V power supply mounting.

I really didn't like the last one so I tried something different and this is the result.
You don't need user_live_update, just use the below in bigfileopen.tcl.
# bigfileopen.tcl

if {[info proc tkgof] == ""} {rename tk_getOpenFile tkgof}
proc tk_getOpenFile {args} {
    # get width and height for max screen size:
    variable width  [lindex [wm maxsize .] 0]
    variable height [lindex [wm maxsize .] 1]
    # alternately, just set width and height explicitly:
    variable width  800
    variable height 600
    # location on screen:
    variable xoffset 0
    variable yoffset 0
    # padding to enlarge buttons:
    variable padx 10
    variable pady 20
    # set the window size and the button sizes
    after 0 {wm geometry .__tk_filedialog ${width}x${height}+${xoffset}+${yoffset};
             .__tk_filedialog.contents.f2.ok configure -padding [list $padx $pady $padx $pady];
             .__tk_filedialog.contents.f2.cancel configure -padding [list $padx $pady $padx $pady]}
    return [eval ::tkgof $args]
}

RPi 5 with 6.12 PREEMPT_RT = Using POSIX non-realtime

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Hello Tom,

Maslow advertizes CNC'ing of wood sheets and that's what I need to do so let me see how far I can go with it and LinuxCNC. BTW Maslow goes at about 1 inch per second so there are no kinematics.

I'll start by locating the LinuxCNC documentation starting point(s).

Thanks Tom for the input,
Tom

Hello @cornholio,

You are right - I need to move on to LinuxCNC. I noticed a new CNC machine. It's called "Maslow". Google it as "Maslow CNC".

I want to use it for cutting out frame members for wooden boats.

Does LinuxCNC support it or does something need to be done?

Tom

Hi,
My local makerspace has a pair of donated Journeyman 325s. I am retrofitting one with LinuxCNC. We have a small form factor PC that should work with a 7I97T I purchased a while back.
My plan is to leave the wiring alone as much as possible. Using 3 DB37 breakouts and a DB15 breakout. Later I will use more of the existing wiring to wire front panel switches.
The number of IOs seems very limited with only 5 relay outputs and maybe 10 inputs. The input wiring is not very clear in the machine drawings so I will have to trace them out for verification.

I have two different wiring diagrams if anyone needs them.

Linked is a Google Sheet with wiring notes.

RPi 5 with 6.12 PREEMPT_RT = Using POSIX non-realtime

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

My RPi5 kit has come up. A book report:

The full kit name as listed in Amazon is:

  -- iUniker - Extreme Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 - (8GB RAM - 128GB Storage Edition)
  
Definitely a learning experience (several delicate operations but that's probably good if you are needing to learn).
  • A critical concern with all electronics not designed to handle it is electrostatic discharge (ESD). Shuffle across a rug and touch the bare board and your new RPi5 may never come up. The RPi5 specs make a nod toward ESD protection but one way to get by ESD, if you don't have a special "static discharge mat", is to lay down a very slightly damp cloth and work on it.
  •  I only received a 64 GB SD card instead of a 128 GB SD Card.
  •  I only received one video cable instead of 2.
  •  Once installed, the fan connector needs to be inserted into a plug on the board. The plug seemed to elude me for quite a while but it's there. Be very sure of which way around the plug needs to be oriented.
  • The 4 USB connectors are very, very difficult to insert into. I worried about the stress on the board. I opted for a hard-wired keyboard/mouse combo and had to use 2 USB connectors. It supports wireless keyboard/mouse combos if you have them in pairing mode at system boot time.
Finally, it came up, started, and took my breath away. Very cool.
Tom
