To my very pleasant surprise Peter Wallace at Mesa has requested that that I send in the card for analysis!!

Ive been wading through posts here for a few days now. managed to get a master up and running, and the slaves to appear. As far as I can tell the next step add the drive to linuxcnc is to either find or create an XML file for the drives. I scavanged some Elmo Gold - G-CEL50 drives that I would like to use and figured I'd ask if there was anyone here who already created or found one. I've searched a bit around for next steps but did not have much luck, any help would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance,

I see from other posts that with intel network card I should disable IRQ coalescing. I will try that in the morning and repeat the ping test

I like the way you think my friend, I've tried that several times already with the same result. I have a Meanwell power supply that i fine tuned with my Fluke to exactly 5V I really think i have a bad card. I have never not once been able to get any actual motion control out of this thing. Now i need to navigate the seemingly unreachable Mesa company and see if they can help me. I e-mailed them a couple of days ago with no responce. Looks like this is going to drag on into eternity.

How can I get the X & Y values of the Tool Sensor Location from Settings tab in QTDragon_HD from with remap.pyThis code below works when getting the values from the .ini file but I would rather use the values from QTDragon’s screen.self.execute("G53 G0 X[#<_ini[TOOLSENSOR]X>] Y[#<_ini[TOOLSENSOR]Y>]")

Thank You.
