Yeah, 0.1 inch would be quite an arc, so try lowering that value to 0.004 or 0.01 if that is acceptable for you.

Sorry but i do not use GmoccaPY, i build/use plasma machines and some small scratchers/engravers, and need badly to finish building a mill as parts keep rusting.

Having installed probably over 70 or 80 (most probably more) of Mesa boards that are in daily use mostly on industrial machines, i would say chances of getting a dud are slim to none, and slim is apparently out of town !
The only issue i have with Mesa is a never seem to have enough !!!
Installed the last 7i92T and THCAD-10 weeks ago, so the only thing left is a 7i73.

What looks awesome? My little machine or my test setup?
Really problem will be creating kinamatics for my machine. I couldn't find any similar example.

About Estop. Hardware button does nothing. It doesn't matter its pressed or not.
I have to use gui estop and machine enable.

Thank you both for your quick responses.

To answer Tommylight, I wasn't attempting to flash it. I wanted to use mesaflash to read its current info, and verify the board is working. The manual I was reading stated mesaflash 3.4.5 or later was required. When I was unable to communicate with or recognize the board using mesaflash 3.4.9, I thought I had a dud. Now, thanks to PCW I know that I need 3.5.3 or newer. At this time github has 3.4.9 listed as master. Since ping works and I do not need to flash the card I will continue on with my fears of a dud alleviated.

Thank you, very nice tool. At least I'm confident with my hardware now. I managed to verify all my MPG signals and everything seems fine. The MPG-axis is enabled when it should be, the scale is correct, and the axis jog count increments. However, the axis doesn't move. It works when I use Gmoccapy, and motion.jog-is-active goes to true, but not with the MPG. Sorry to ask so many questions, but if you can give me some hints about where to look, it would be greatly appreciated. I think there is a missing link somewhere, and I'm struggling to find it

So, this solved my jerkiness issues, but now I have some strange behavior. *Some* (but not all) corners are getting rounded off, as if G64 were specified without P value.

We have to fight!!!
It is 4 pins A, B, Vcc and GND. Between Vcc and GND I read 1.5v so it is powered. and between A and B I also read voltage, which varies as I turn the wheel. How could I uninstall and reinstall the component? Now as a last option, in desperation.

yes of course

IMO no wifi is a good thing, and I always recommend not using wifi, latency stuff

that looks awesome, good stuff!


can you give me some more detail on the estop? is it not turning on or not turning off?

The other things worked?

I understand that I can do it by showing HAL configuration to see if the pins change state, the rest catches me out of my game, it is wireless and I would have to gut it.

Yes, that would be the first step before gutting it, if they show working there then my reply above can be skipped.

I'm good, still kicking hard but doing some non CNC related stuff mostly, thank you for asking.
Glad you're still kicking, also.

It smells like I'm going to have to go into ripper mode, I have a response from all the pins except whb.axis.@.jog-counts which remains at 0 at all times on any of the axis. Recommendations and suggestions are welcome 

Hi Tommy, how long!!

I hope you're okay, I still have those servos there somewhere

Thank you very much, greetings.

If everything works and you have not edited the files, that would point to a hardware failure, so use a DVM to check if the encoder wires are not cut and that power is suplied to encoder, then check if the signal pins change while rotating the encoder wheel.
