Manual tool change from M6 ATC Python remap

Category: Advanced Configuration

Hi,

I've got M6 remap running well from pure Python remap on my Biesse Rover 322 and now want to extend the script with manual tool changes for some tools.

Is it possible to call a default manual tool change from the python script, or do I need to build my own within the script? I foresee some possible hassles with cuebusting if building my own, that could be avoided if using the default one.

If building my own, would the attached script be a good place to start stealing from?

Automatic tool change arm stepgen

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I'm retrofitting a Sodick 450MC, got most of the stuff working and running up to automatic tool change part, the tool changing arm is driven by the stepper motor,
​the stepper will rotate some fix turns to change tool
So how can I config stepggen for the stepper ? btw I'm using mesa 7i95 board

Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but there are several topics here discussing the DMM servos inability to run in analog mode due to very high latency of encoder feedback.
Use them in Position mode (step/dir) as this seems to work a bit better from what i read, although i never used them and after seeing how they handled the issue, i never will.

Ethercat installation from repositories - how to step by step

Category: EtherCAT

Looking at the above post, I don't recall installing headers separately. Maybe that is it.

These are also needed to install anything with dkms like the Realtek r8168-dkms network driver.

Fresh Rpi4 Install w/7i96s Invalid Bitfile Header

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Not to mention network manager seems to be missing on the pi image, or at least there is no straightforward way of launching the gui for it from any menu I’ve looked in. So currently no internet connection on the pi, will work on that tomorrow.

Please read the notes on the download page to set up your wifi. Network manager adds latency.
Please follow the instructions  in man hm2_eth to set an IP address for your connection to your mesa card

How was this resolved? I'm using MesaCT v 2.1.4 to configure 7i97T+7i76 and I also have a spindle tab with all option grayed out. I'm planning to use the TB4 spindle output output on 7i76.

I'm using MesaCT to build a new configuration for a 3 axis mill with DMM servos in Analog mode.

I get the message that "Drive x Scale must not be blank".  Since scale is defined as "the number of pules to move one user unit", should this value be 0 for analog servos?

Thanks,

I pushed some initial work.
If you use basic probe, setting the probe tool number in the tab will now also compare to the current tool number. If they match a HAL pin will be set (qtbasicprobe.probe-loaded)

In Versa probe, it works the same but at the moment you must set the probe number by editing the preference file - I ran out of room on the tab.
It's pin name is : qtversaprobe.probe-loaded

You would then connect that pin to spindle.o.inhibit.

I pushed this to master.
I changed a couple property names ( base_color and base_gradient_color) and added properties for the gauge center color (center_color, center_gradient_color)

Also added the details to the widget docs.

Qtdragon-hd now uses your new gauge styling to showcase the changes.
Thank you for this work!

Thanks Mecanix for helping us test. The 5.4.279 kernel shouldn't cause any regressions as it's all just backported fixes, and the respective LinuxCNC package for it restored some files I shouldn't have deleted in the earlier Debian package, so if anything it should be better and not worse, and this is a run-on-sentence.

Sorry, Another 'Which Mesa?' Post. (Yes, I read Spumco's magnificient guide)

Category: Driver Boards

On the servo enables and alarms is usually possible to combine all the
enables together so they can be driven by a single output, and likewise,
combine all the alarms so they drive a single input.

If you used a 7I96S, you may need to add a daughtercard to get enough I/O
The 7I95T probably has enough I/O but lacks the 0-10V. The lack of 0-10V
may not matter if the spindle drive can use an alternate speed control method
(also 0-10V can be added to the 7I95T with a  SPINX1 adapter)
