I don't think there is a pin 0 issue as this is a 7I96s and the encoder is on pins
27,28,29

Language may be the issue, I don't know enough about locales and translations
but do all strings in the source get translated? (en_US):

                    if "Arc Voltage" in pinchanged:
                        self.d._arcvpin = pin
                    elif self.d._arcvpin == pin:
                        self.d._arcvpin = None
                    if self.d._arcvpin and self.d.frontend == _PD._QTPLASMAC:
                        self.p.page_set_state('thcad', True)
                    else:

 

Hi, I had the same issue and there was a problem with pncconf displaying the THCAD page if the pin number was 0.  I made a pull request that has been merged a couple of days ago into 2.10 master.  You could either use an input that doesn't have a pin number of 0 or upgrade to the 2.10 master.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,
Finally got around to LinuxCNC'ing my cheap bench top mini mill, making the jump from Arduino/GRBL (Ughh) to a Mesa7196S.
Problem is my Y axis is making me feel like my IQ has plummeted..

X and Z, perfect (have opto sensors at Z+ and X- (X is mounted to the left of Y saddle as viewed from front - aiming to have bottom left corner as my 0,0).

Unfortunately I appear to lack the logic to get the Y limit configured so that it can be a combined home/limit at +145mm without mirroring the Y axis!
For clarity: I want to home the machine by moving the bed fully to the right for the X axis (working) and fully towards the idiot Operator (tool max +Y), but everything I have tried either inverts the Y or results in soft limit exceeded.

My ini and hal are attached, any help will be very much appreciated!

Cheers,
Rog

OK that (almost 17 ms) is the issue.

Depending on the Ethernet hardware on the host, solutions are:

If it's a Realtek MAC, install the DKMS driver

Disable PCIE/Ethernet power management

Make sure all power management is disabled in the BIOS
It that's not good enough, pin the Ethernet IRQ to the last processor
and use isolcpus in the kernel command line.

Here's a long  thread on solutions to this issue:

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.057/0.276/16.993/0.227 ms, pipe 2

OK, so there is a real time issue that needs to be addressed
before LinuxCNC will run on that system.

To get a rough idea of network latency:

sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -q -c 60000 10.10.10.10

This will run for a minute and then print statistics.

Manual for this machine is online:

veracitytechs.com/docs/MicroEDGE%20Pro%2...018%20Feb%202016.pdf

Linuxcnc is running, the light on the rj45 stays solid green and the lights on the board stay solid without any activity.   

The THCAD support was added to pncconf about 3 years ago so definitely in 2.9.4

The THCAD screen should appear on the next screen after the one where
you set the stepgen/encoder functions.

The search velocity is the speed when searching for the first
home switch actuation, the latch velocity is the velocity used
for for the actual homing switch/index move so only the latching
velocity is needed in this case.

Basically, Index-only homing is specified by setting the search
velocity to 0. (as the homing documentation specifies)

Seems to be a commonly found issue, HP support forums discuss this quite a bit with various cards.
Might be an idea to google your issue, TLP poisoned, and see if there are any solutions. I wouldn't mention a specific card in your searches to begin with.
My first thought was if the card wasn't on a "whitelist" the PC may refuse to play ball .

7I76U inputs are always sinking so normal connection would be:

+24V --> SWITCH --> 7I76U input

If you look in halshow, hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-07 will always be
in the opposite state as hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-07-not, so choosing
one or the other should make a difference.

Well, that didn't work. Inputs are back to sinking inputs as specified in the manual. I did comment out the PROBE input so it is not currently part of the configuration. However, on startup LCNC continues to show the EStop button activated so I cannot continue testing Homing.

Unable to continue at testing at this point.

These are the states of the inputs at this time:

 

And this is my HAL config:

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok, I understood that, but how will my axis move if I don't give any speed? it will never detect my plus Z. I can't understand the logic ☺
