Another remark.. not sure if that me misunderstanding anything or if its another bug, but witih MesaCT I generated a config to set my outputs 0-7 to sinking and 8-15 to sourcing.
This were the generated lines:
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_sink 0xff00
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_source 0xff

isnt this "the wrong order"? imho this sets 0-7 to source and 8-15 to sink.. right?

Yes.  Here is a schematic that goes from the interface PCB to the hypertherm microedge for the drives.  I'm only familiar with stepper motors at this point so this is a little overwhelming.

Thx JT for the quick reply!

Hello again, it's been a while. I'm now back working on the lathe machine. I connected the Modbus to the X and Y axis servo motors and also to the spindle – all working fine. I can read the load values from the servo motors without problems. But there is an issue with the spindle load display. Sometimes it shows too many zeros after the decimal point. I tried to fix this with Python code to cut the extra zeros, but I couldn't make it work. Has anyone had this problem before?
What is the easiest way to fix it?

 



 

so I tested it and switched the red button to yellow. and it turned red at the same position when I turned my encoder.

setp [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.index-enable true

This is wrong and should be removed

Also: Is the encoder position cleared to 0 when you set b-index-enable?
(set in the halshow:watch tab)

I am not sure what you mean by simulate the auto tool config.

Is that in a simulation config? I have never messed with those.

Sorry to be such a neophyte.

I have not used the anglejog component other than playing around with the sim config. As I understand it the 'scale' factor is used to avoid stair stepping in the tool path. Maybe the original discussion can give you some more clues:

[edit]
I would tend to use the default values used in the sim config and adjust the
'max_vel',  'max_accel' pins (and possibly 'accel_fraction_in' for fine tuning) 

Thanks for your help. I should play with the sim config, I'm not sure how to do that?

That's a bug with the 7i76eu I/O section. I'll fix that.
