Hi ! I struggle with a failure with my toolchanger.
i use the latest carousel.comp.

the atc is controlled by 3 proximity sensors.
the proximity sensors are npn normaly open.
i connect them to my mesa 7i92t.
on the mesa 7i92t i have the pullup jumper selected.

If i connect the sensor to 24v,gnd from mesa (on the idc connector) together with gnd of the 24v supply and the signal cable to a input on the mesa i see the pin change the state if i hold the sensor to a screw or something metallic.


original on this machine the signal cable goes to a 22k ohm resistor which is connected to ground. Then it goes to another 22k resistor in series.. which haves a ceramic cap 1nf to gnd. and then to a 74c14 schmitttrigger.. from there it goes to the mcu.

i will draw a small sketch later.

in linuxcnc i debounce the pin with the value 3.
the sensor cables ate not shielded.. and are near to the main drive and maindrive cables.. main drive becomes a 280v pwm signal up to 5amps.

so sometimes the atc stops turning anywhere .. i think it get count signal.. but thete is no count signal.

should i clean the signals like original controller it do?

thanks

Ok, I will of course do so, but will take a bit until I have access to the machine.
Question: there is also a 7i37 connected to the 7i80-  has the 7i37 be disconnected also? Guess so.

Yes I have that.

Sorry, for all the questions, but I'm having a bit of trouble with TWP and was hoping I could get some help. TCP is working totally fine and it seems like TWP is partially working, but not quite correctly. Say I issue G68.2 X0Y0Z0 I0J-45K0 and G53.1, the spindle orients itself correctly and I can jog in X and Y, but not Z. Depending on the angles I use I get different axes I can jog. Using G68.3 I can see the plane set in the vismach, but I'm not able to jog at all.

I did mess with the kinematics file to make it work for my machine. TCP works great, so it seems to be working (I added a tandem Y axis and a W axis that isn't involved in the tcp math). Is there anything I could have messed up in the kinematics file? Also, I had to scale some things in the vismach since I'm working in inches. Is there anything in the twp remap files that I would need to scale? Thanks again for all the help.

If you have the SyilX3 parallel port hal file, that can be used to figured out the pinout

In any case the pinout will be needed to determine which firmware to use.
