The latest RTAI Patches are for Kernel 5.4 but the Support for UHD 730 in the i915 Driver has been added in 5.11 (I think).
Any ideas how to get the Driver working in the 5.4 Kernel?

I'm using a Core i3 14100T on an ASUS Q670EI-IM-A Board.

Thanks

I did some research about the uspace and the general information is: uspace is not intended to control real machines, but used for simulation.

This is still true? Because if it is, I cannot use it as the intention is to really control the machine that was previously working.
Thank you

index enable usually refers to the Index output of the encoder, basically it's a single pules indicating the encoder has reached the reset point of it's wheel. IE every 2048 pules in a 2048 encoder you get a index pulse. if so equipped, often referred to as the Z pulse in many encoders.

I have them in stock as well.

Thanks for the response, Collins.

That thread is more concerned with the spindle orientation with M19, is it not? Or do you mean to imply I can implement both M6 homing + tool changing and M19 orientation with this? Would this work with an incremental sin/cos encoder with an origin switch instead of an absolute encoder?

One of the responses in that thread was a link to a more recent solution to the spindle homing:
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...nt-component-revised

I suppose it would be best for me to look into that, as it seems people are pleased with it.

I was under the impression the homing should be handled internally by the drive upon being sent the appropriate command by LinuxCNC over EtherCAT. After all, it does have a "Homing Mode." But it seems that is not necessary and I can handle it all through the orient component (or the more recent solution) which calculates the homing through the encoder feedback? Am I understanding this correctly?

Also, what is the index-enable these components refer to? Is that the origin switch of the motor?

Thanks again for the help.

Here linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/iov2.html
shows pins relevant to lube and tool change
also halui linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/halui.1.html#Lube
has pins for lube.

How can use these pins ?

Goto the forum section of Installing Linuxcnc.
Click on the sticky for the RPi images.
Read the whole thread. The answers are there.
That's what the purpose of that particular thread is for.

on the surface this appears like it should be correct , but I am not expert with ethercat, far far from it. it appears your checking for the home comparison and setting 0 or 1 based on that result, then issuing a home command if not homed. The next issue obviously will be having linuxcnc call the homing in the driver. Is this to be used as a C axis, if not just have it call the homing function in your postprocessor iirc

Ok all. Im stuck and going around and around in circles. So problem: Have two probes for input. Touch-off (pin0) and Probe (Pin2). But I cannot assign 2 pins to the one probe-input. In addition, want to allow for Probe (Pin2) to be rendered inactive when not connected.

Here is the error: probe2-in cannot be found. Comes up on load.

Here is the logic.
ini file has the inputs defined:
INPUT_0_0 = Probe Input
INPUT_INVERT_0_0 = True
INPUT_SLOW_0_0 = False
INPUT_0_1 = E Stop 0
INPUT_INVERT_0_1 = True
INPUT_SLOW_0_1 = False
INPUT_0_2 = Probe Input
INPUT_INVERT_0_2 = True
INPUT_SLOW_0_2 = False

The io.hal file has a set of logic to select the probe input and check the input for active low before it commences. It looks Ok to me. But I have something screwed up as it seems to be that the flipflop cant/wont work as a storage function. So not sure how to get this actioned. Any ideas?

Probably I will start with a new installation. Downloading Trixie now.
I think I will need help in "moving" the old configuration to the new one. I will post when help is required. Thank you
