@LangdonS,
He does that always, just have a browse through his posts.
@Oli,
Danke schon.

New ethercat / probe basic control for minimonster

Category: CNC Machines

ding ding. so 8192 IS run/stop. goes from 6 to 1. which is true/false im almost positive.

But i don't have a way to write it. every write command says illegal data or address or function (different ones give different errors).

Do i need to tell it it is a true/false register, and not an int/float? if yes, how? i do not see any syntax for that.

thanks for all the help so far, i feel like were getting close, AND i also understand things better.

FlexGui - hal_io Spinbox was created by MaHa

FlexGui - hal_io Spinbox

Category: Flex GUI

From a postgui hal file are some flexhal pins set at startup, with setp. In halshow the value is set, but the spinbox is not populated with that value. How can i force the spinbox to update?

This should be close assuming your pin numbers are DB25 parallel port numbers

so we have 8192 to 8203. all 0 except 8192 which is 6, and seems not writable. others seem writable but do not induce any change.

i have an idea: i will turn the drive back to panel frequency and run control and see if i can see anything change

As I keep poking, I'm finding there are registers now at 8192 range, but they cant be written? 8192 has a value of 6. 8191/ 8193 etc at 0.

Hm

There is no documentation of registers?
Almost impossible without.

Stepper motors should hold position when error.

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Currently when the motor disables the brake enables but there is a delay so z axis drops a couple centimeters.

How heavy is the Z axis?
This seems like to heavy, so it would need a counterweight, and if so, it will also cause to much stress on the motor and drive trying to keep all that weight in position. Also mitigated by said counterweight.

4 Y DIR
5 Y STEP
6 Z DIR
7 Z STEP
8 A DIR
9 A STEP
14 B DIR

Would have been much better as 4 axis would be standard pins.

So i can change those pins in halshow, but they do nothing. So I expect they are not the correct pins for start/stop freq etc. Sound right?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Do I just go one by one and set them to 1/0 and see if the drive turns on? I guess that makes plausible sense. there only 54 of them

Stepper motors should hold position when error.

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

If the drive itself drops the holding current on a fault,
you are always going to lose position, there is really
nothing LinuxCNC can do about this.

How far it drops depends on how fast the drive can be
reset or brake applied. LinuxCNC can react very quickly
to  a fault signal (< 1 ms), but I would expect the external hardware
(brake or drive reset) to be slower.
