5i25T Setup with PathPilot was created by Inverhyt

5i25T Setup with PathPilot

Category: PathPilot

Hello,

I've done a bunch of lurking trying to figure this out before I asked, but I am trying to upgrade my PCNC 1100 Series 3 to pathpilot. Tormach no longer offers the 5i25 upgrade kit and instead offers an expensive box that connects with eithernet instead. I purchased a 5i25T reading that it is intended on being a drop in replacement for the 5i25 for LinuxCNC versions 2.10 and up. I believe PathPilot is derived from a version of Linux CNC at least past that version but that's a guess.

I believe the 5i25T uses a different FPGA due to chip shortages. Due to this it needs a different bit file than the 5i25, but after flashing it, it's identified as a 5i25 by the OS and functions identical.

So the only thing I think I need to do is replace the default bitfile with a comparable one for the 5i25T in PathPilot so it doesn't overwrite it on startup. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but once it's flashed the first time, PathPilot should automatically recognize it as a 5i25 and load the profile like normal. 

How can I take the bitfile provided by Tormach for the 5i25 and make a comparable one for the 5i25T? Is it as simple as installing mesaflash and flashing the default profile?

I appreciate the help! Thank you.

Thank you stirra, do you happen to have a link to this software and 1.11? The only support link I had back in July was to the manual. My drives show "10rY" on powering-up but don't connect.

Linuxcnc show linuxcnc-error window when close my gui app

Category: Advanced Configuration

I use a sim 1 axis only and classic ladder ... with ridicolous realtime of 8ms. My app works perfect ... but never understand how can stop linuxcnc-error windows show when close app ... sim causes usermot-error ... but simply is annoing see these error windows ... there are a way to eliminate it? ... when stop the gui ... after I call "hal_exit(comp_id);" .... and after I clean CMD , STAT channel previosly open .... So ask if there is a way to not show that error windows whitout eliminate the call from .tk or .py file of linuxcnc axis.

regards

Lichuan says some Linuxcnc users have success with firmware 1.11 and others with 1.04. They have a windows program for loading the firmware into the drive.

The 7I78 has a PWM to isolated analog output circuit.
It does require an external 10V source. Normally the VFD
supplies this. (its commonly used for the potentiometer)

Problems with Lichuan Ethercat servo drive

Category: EtherCAT

So having tried a dozen times to get this to work, the best I could manage was to get lcec_conf to load, showing the example pins only(show pin lcec.) I haven't managed to get servos to show at all using 'ethercat slaves', or in LinuxCNC itself.
I have tried RodW's config files and the LC10EV1.04.xml configuration file provided by COFHAL, to no avail.
For some reason my network port isn't letting me see my servos (4x400w currently plugged in), though it works perfectly well for install and other purposes.
No problems were encountered installing, or updating upto this point.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did I see somewhere above that there was some configuration software available from Lichuan?

dual corexy or dual scara configuration

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Does not look like corexy, looks like Hbot.
Edit the hal and ini, copy and paste the existing XY and change to UV and also change the joint numbers... oh yeah and also the pin numbers to correlate to the drive outputs.
