What exactly is BuildBot?

It is a PC/server that checks and builds the debs for various version of Linux architectures, after getting stuff from github, as far as i can gather.

We should say this more often:
Awesome work and a magnificent machine.

thanks

All squared up, few more mechanical things to do, and then a bit of electrical and getting linuxcnc to use modbus spindle control.

 

Well done sir

I've found a setup on the forums using Leadshine EL8 drivers and trying to work from there. Setup I'm following.
I've attached the hal, ini and ethercat.xml files. It doesn't load, I get the following error.


Not surprising as I've pruned the file down from 5 drives and a spindle to 1, different brand drives etc.

I've used the xml file that I generated.

Am I on the right track at all?[/code][/url]

well, I got totally nerd-sniped by this, so here we go: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3587

Hit another little snag with the homing. I have it set up for index homing. I have the call out in the hal to enable it but in the halmeter I was trying to catch it hit the index but nothing popped up on the scope. I'm not sure if it is indicative of hitting the index but the x axis is very close to where it is home and each time I hit the home button it jogs either way towards it but then faults out with two "cannot unhome while homing" errors and usually a "joint0 following error." If I understand the following error that means it is not where the computer thinks it should be? I am considering bringing my actual oscilloscope out to the garage to watch the signal if I can't figure it out.
