Hi Chris,

ok, I'll do it - thank you very much for your answer.

Peter

As I posted on GitHub it's appears to be an issue with the live installer.
The same issue presented itself with a plain vanilla 12.5 live image from debian.
The installer is failing\stalling during the dhcpv6 config. Now you maybe lucky that your router has a working dhcpv6 setup.
Instructing users to change the utility they write the image to the boot device doesn't help when it has been stated that even in a virtual machine the same issue arises.
Stating that you have no issue installing on your 20 core luxury liner isn't helping anyone. Neither refusing to look into it helps. That's why testing is good or users reporting issues.
Either help users that have issues or admit that you either can't\dont want to or don't have the knowledge to help and let someone else do it.
You'll gladly accept the thanks but won't accept any criticism, it goes both ways mate, you do a good job people will be happy, you make people unhappy you'll hear about it.
Or if ya working 80 hours ask for effing help. Just don't treat us as fools.
Like I said the panels are niggly, and something you might of been interested in, but obviously that's not the case.
The issues with the installer stalling is something you should have been interested in, but obviously that's not the case.

Or maybe you don't understand the issues as presented and prefer to bury your head in the sand.

I asked regarding how the live image is made, but you either didn't see it or can't be bothered.

So what I'll do is setup a temp debian install and try and figure out the build process and how to add the string to the boot loader, and maybe I can get someone to test it.

Thanks Rod.
I looked into halcompile but found rather scattered documentation about it. Here on the forum, they mentioned that it cannot compile .comp files. What exactly is it and what is it used for? Why do we need to compile the .comp file?

I have the same servo drives as Marco, so it would be logical to use his code. I checked your GitHub repo, but it's not clear to me how to modify it for the EL8 drivers.

Marcoreps has a git repo with the source code for the missing component that needs to be compiled with halcompile
github.com/marcoreps/linuxcnc_leadshine_EL8

But you may like to try my untested homing component
github.com/rodw-au/cia402_homecomp
At least it is documented

I also tried to clean up the code.

There should not be any difference between our installer Debian's because we use the Debian Live installer which is fully documented on the Debian Website. We don't really do anything else, just install XFCE, linuxcnc and set up some repositories. (Linuxcnc, Ethercat, QTPYVCP)
Some behaviour is odd and I don't have a solution (like the icons). This installer was started by other linuxcnc  developers so i inherited some oddities. I could never see how to fix that. The issue with the Raspberry Pi firmware I think was because the installer had not been updated since the release of Debian 6.0. FIxing that should be a Debian responsibility. They say you will get the Debian version that is installed on the development PC.
Our 2.9.2 ISO used the latest Debian version. When 2.9.3 is released I will rebuild it.

Unfortunately, I am working 80 + hours a week so it is impossible to devote any more time to Linuxcnc. When  drop by, all I seem to get are people complaining about me (including on this thread) so  I am not really inclined to give a stuff. 

I have installed the ISO on several PC's including a new 20 core i7 with Secure boot and I have never had an issue installing. As I said, I only ever use Balena Etcher to burn my USB sticks. It is so much faster than other tools and I have never needed to worry about verifying any ISO after its burnt. (which Balena does automatically if you let it).

 

The above picture illustrates the issue with the bottom panel missing the launchers, not a game changer but a little annoying.

No need to manually load network driver.

No need to remove the flash drive and reinsert, as these aren't the issue.

The issue appears to be when the installer can't get a IP via dhcpv6, it stalls.

The Fix is simple.

When booting press TAB on the installer entry.
This will give you the "kernel command line"
Press the space bar then type ipv6.disable=1, then proceed to boot.

ATM I have only tested this suing VirtualBox on a Linux Mint host.

I would like to thank you once again for your support up to this point!As mentioned above, I can move the servos on the axles.At the moment I would like to ignore the previous topic with the current PC and concentrate on creating a basic HAL/INI with the PncConf, with the 7i92 and 7i76 installed in my system.I would like to be able to use PncConf to assign the properties from the pull-down menus to the occupied contacts of the 7i76. I have not found any posts in the forum that help me?I have created an Excel sheet (please see attached), which shows the created contacts.Since I could not find any detailed information or examples in the LinuxCNC manual for the individual properties that can be assigned, I would like to ask if there is any information available?Please provide a picture below of what I mean.Based on the use of PncConf.A voltage safety circuit must be enabled for the servos to run. To enable this via the 7i76 I have to assign the correct property from the pull-down menu, which is the correct property? At the moment I have to bridge this voltage circuit. There are two safety circuits, one each at TB6 output 0 and output 1 (please see Excel sheet) 

Hello, I have this encoder: a860-2001-t301
Is there a firmware for this encoder ?

does the position (not the count) change by
1.000 for each mm of motion?

Yes. For small distances, the readings increase by correct amount. In my case starting point X axis changes from -2366.005 -2365.008 moving 1mm.
When I swap tx+ and tx- the data output is same. swapping rx+ and rx- results in the digital read out showing a constant number.

Hello, I am back from many attempts. Thanks to the support of a colleague, I have now got to the point where I can see that the servos are moving on all axles.


How can I send you a donation?

Does anyone have an idea how to reset the device? I have solved the voltage drop but "RESET" continues to appear on the display.

That doc link really helped,I loaded the qtvcp_plugin in the qt design,there are so many widgets!Thanks a lot!

Le var Bosch 2 voies actuel est piloté en vitesse avec une tension analogique proportionnelle qui va
jusque +/- 10 V. L'asservissement en position se fait par la lectures de 3 règles optique Heidenhain avec EXE805
Le nouveau servo AC serait lui aussi piloté en mode vitesse j'en ai  trouver un avec une commande
+/-10 V aussi, mais habituellement c'est une commande en Modulation de densité d'impulsions / direction donc
de type Step/dir pour pas à pas.
Il me faut donc une commande numérique susceptible de piloter en vitesse, en +/-10 V et step/dir
d'assurer un asservissement en position de type PID de 3 axes ou plus à partir de signaux encodeurs issus des règles
de disposer d'une PLC (programmable logic controller) afin de piloter entre autres la boite de vitesse de broche.

 voila mon projet j'espere avoir repondu a votre question  je ne suis vraiment pas téchenicien en la matiere

The current 2-way Bosch var is controlled in speed with a proportional analog voltage which goes
up to +/- 10 V. Position control is done by reading 3 Heidenhain optical rulers with EXE805
The new AC servo would also be controlled in speed mode I found one with a command
+/-10 V too, but usually it's a Pulse Density Modulation/direction command so
Step/dir type for step by step.
I therefore need a digital control capable of controlling speed, +/-10 V and step/dir
to ensure PID type position control of 3 or more axes using encoder signals from the rules
to have a PLC (programmable logic controller) in order to control, among other things, the spindle gearbox.

here is my project I hope to have answered your question I am really not a technician in this matter
