did you resolve? did you ever test the sim? and did you check the custom_config.yml settings by comparing to the latest sim version that gets copied over? those sometimes require updating as well if transitioning from older probe basic versions.

for my specific use case I think I would like to use the home switch to be able to home to the center of a pin that is inline with the pocket center (kind of like probing ridge center) and then use a preset amount of step counts per pocket based on the number of pockets in the carousel to divide it into that many moves for a full revolution of the platter. I am using a 2 pin geneva wheel so 1/2 rotation is one pocket. I would like to confine all of the hal into one file if possible to make implementation as easy as possible and have some options to be able to use the index method as well. kind of a one setup page allows all types and each type has a unique hal file that can be called from the ini. make it as modular and easy to use/setup as possible. ATC seems to be one of those things that scares most folks because of its complexity. I think having it made easier would be a good thing.

I think I know where the problem is.
for a start, i hadn't fitted a free-wheeling diode.
i've just put diodes on all my control contactors.



i've tried again and i have the impression that it's got worse because when i launch linuxcnc and deactivate the e-stop (F1), the message appears more regularly.

I try to control my chip conveyor, the message appears.
i try to drive my tailstock, the message doesn't appear ...

I realize that the commands that cause error messages are those driven by power contactors.

However, all my power contactors are controlled by command contactors.

sinking output:


drive with power contactor
e-stop / fwd turret / rev turret / convoyor fwd / convoyor rev

pilot with control contactor
tailstock output / tailstock input / enable drive / spindle fwd / spindle rev

I've never had a problem with controls driven by control contactors alone.

the video shows when i manually activate (with the control contactor) my turret. only the card is activated, the computer is not powered so linuxcnc doesn't work.
on the video i activate the contactor three times and 2/3 error and 1/3 no error



how can my power contactors disrupt the 7i97T card?

that is a linuxcnc error message being reported. that means your homing sequence may be incorrect or your homing method not correctly specified in the ini. see the docs of the home section for options. if the buttons are not synching up with the axis there is something missing. you will need to have a another look.

Hi,I’ve been working on my Bridgeport 412, and everything was going great until I discovered that the Fanuc control for the spindle motor is broken. Initially, I considered using the STMBL project with the Fanuc motor, but I’m running out of time, and the massive transformer required to run it is proving to be a nuisance.I’m now thinking about replacing the spindle motor and driver with a Chinese one. The replacement would have the same power (5.5 kW) but slightly more RPM (4000 instead of 6000). Since the machine could have been configured for higher RPM originally, I think this should be fine. The only adjustment I might need is to make a new pulley if the old one doesn’t fit.My machine primarily uses EtherCAT, but the Chinese servo I’m considering doesn’t support EtherCAT. It does, however, have CAN control, and I could also use its analog control interface if needed. The dimensions of the motor seem similar to my existing one, though I’ll need to double-check this weekend.I’ve gathered some information from the Alibaba seller. The entire kit (servo motor 5.5 kW 6000 RPM, servo driver, wiring, and resistor) costs $600 USD, excluding shipping. I estimate shipping will be an additional €200–300. I’ve never ordered through Alibaba before, so I’m curious about others’ experiences with the platform.Since I’ve never done this kind of replacement before, I’d really appreciate any tips or advice. Does this seem like a good choice, or are there other factors I should consider? Have you had any experience with replacing broken spindle motors or drivers? Does the price seem reasonable? I’ve assumed that items purchased on Alibaba are similar to those on AliExpress, and my experience with AliExpress has been that they deliver exactly what they promise.Looking forward to your insights!

unfortunately it doesn't work with this file at the moment? 

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/widgets/camview_widget.py", line 80, in __init__

ValueError: the first two maketrans arguments must have equal length


both variants would be practical, but for me it would be even better to use the set rotation angles
