Hi fully_defined,

I'm an engineer with Teknic and came across your post. While we're not familiar with the exact board and pinout, the ClearPath wiring makes sense. (Good suggestions PCW)

If you encounter any problems or have other questions, please reach out directly at 585-784-7454 or teknic.com/contact/.

Best regards,

Would you mind taking a second look? I have updated this post, and the image at the top reflects my current understanding of how to wire this. I think the only question relevant to you now is: now that I am powering the field inputs with 24v, can I get away with daisy chaining hlfb to save on inputs? I thought I recalled hearing that this is the preferred Teknic method, but I can't find anymore where I read that.

In this post, the OP said he figured it out and then the thread went cold. People had more questions that were unfortunately never addressed again: www.forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-confi...fb-mesa-7i76e#114031

The purpose of this thread (the one you're reading now) is to create a definitive resource for myself and others to refer to later.

I worked on it a bit more. It's missing 2x 24v NPN-NC probes, and I think with 24v common supplying the sensors and hlfb circuit, I may be able to daisy-chain the hlfb after all. Still confirmation there.

I have LCN version 2.9.3 on Debian 12, but in /usr/share/linuxcnc/, but there is no aux_gladevcp folder, nor a folder named gladevcp.

Thanks for the information.
How do you set the lcec.0.D1.stepspermm1 command to control the stepper motor driver, for example, if it is set to 1600?
What relationship should it have with respect to the screw pitch if it has a pitch of 5 mm per turn?

 

This was a mod for someone else would something like this suit ?
Basically where do you want the button?

Ok, but there aren't that many things that could be different between the two systems i now have...
I am just stuck thinking of what it could be...

Thanks for testing. I pushed it to the master branch.

What happened with enable and error hardware implementation in riocore?

Is that an immense porosity supplement?

My lathe always works in mm/rev and the feed override works fine.

Which HAL pin do you have the potentiometer connected to?

Is there an updated file?  I clicked on the links provided and it said the files were in owner's trash.
The problem I've been running into with installing Python3-probe-basic is that I can't seem to get the repository to be recognized.  I tried adding the repo to synaptic and also tried adding to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list.  But there are multiple repo urls and I'm not sure if I just didn't find a valid one.

The outputs are SSRs so act like relay contacts/switches
The do not supply power, they only switch it.

I get it now. Thanks!

This is the current state of my understanding of how to wire a Clearpath SDSK DC servo to a Mesa 7i962 board:

I have also modified the HLFB circuit, based on the graphic below, from page 51 of the Teknic Clearpath User Manual Rev. 3.23:

Please correct me if I have gotten anything wrong.

The above graphic assumes the +5-24VDC is not internal to the board, so... is it? Do I need to apply +5v somewhere to drive the HLFB circuit? Keep in mind, I have to add 6x NPN NC sensors, and the above would need to be compatible with that too.

Hi Guys, I'm sure this is a simple solution but it is escaping me.  
I have a 4 axis lathe x1,x2,z1,z2 but in hal and ini are called x,y,z,a, I would like to change that eventually but that can wait till things work.  After alot of messing around I finally have my homing-limit switches working, reading and the machine homing proper (yay). but for my z axis, after I went into ini and set the min max for all the axis when I started Linuxcnc saying my, and I'm paraphrasing here, z axis isn't right they should be 1e99. From what I can tell that is for a rotary axis.  In the ini its states its linear, so I don't know why I am getting that error.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, I know its going to be some stupid that I'm not seeing or thinking of.
