oh, yes delete those, those are notes for the config conversion process only! i will add that to the docs!

you can keep the user_tabs as long as the user_tabs folder is in the config, it should insert the user tabs in the ui.

user_buttons folder should also be in the config folder. which version are you running again? stable or develop?

Hi,

I have recieved tormach's source. Not latest version.
In the tormach source, the tp.c file (planner) is nothing special. The planner can be used in lcnc within a few hours of work.
I can do that on request.

Btw think we don't need tormach's planner. As this planner out-perform's tormach's planner in every way :

Did you ever get past reprobe? There is no backoff move, then is G43 called and at least G53 Z0, which makes no sense to call G43, while toolseter trigered. First i would cleanup this file with all commented lines and debug,  or do indentation, to make the executed code visible.
When the machine stalled, did it write toollength before?
For testing i always start from terminal. If necessary just close the terminal, and start new.
 

Ethercat 64 bit float is supported.
float-double-ieee
However, the ethercat drive delivers the encoder data in a certain datatype, and you can not change that.
For floating point there is the Ethercat REAL (32-bit) and LREAL(64-bit) data-types.
You convert them into a hal float (which is actually a 64-bit float, or double, since some versions back)
using the keyword "float-ieee" for REAL and "float-double-ieee" for LREAL.
On the other hand, for integers it is likely that linuxcnc is restricting by its 32-bit integers.
There are no 64-bit integers in hal (as far a I know is best to day).
 

That makes a lot of sense. I ordered the LM331's and will report if that works.

Hi all

I have some Beckhoff EK1100 with different modules connected. Most of the modules work, but my 2522 extension is not supported (yet) by LinuxCNC ethercat.

Can someone give me a hint on how to integrate this? I am looking at the Beckhoff xml file but not sure how to integrate this into Linuxcnc especiuall with the stepgen/dir signal.

Any hints would be appreciated.

EDIT: So I just realized that there is already an implementation of the 2521 pulse train module. So I can start with this then ....

Hello,

I use this method.
With a flying probe that is in a fixed position to measure the tool and for Z I place it on the workpiece, for this the correct probe height (switching point) must be entered in QTDragon.
