[qt_dragon_hd] auto tool probe and gcode display issue

Category: Qtvcp

yes select from the configuration pop up window:
sim/qtdragon/qtdragon_tool_probe/qtdragon_auto_tool_probe

A simulated configuration will run with a small window with a label and a button.
You turn on and home the machine like normal - all movements are simulated.
Run a program that has a tool change and use the button to simulate the probe.
The label will say 'probe' when you need to press the button, (in fact twice)
Then we can see if the remap subroutine is stuck showing.

Yes, the THCAD2 replaces both the THCAD5 and THCAD10

And yes, you can use the 2 spare encoders for THCADs.

(if you needed more encoders, firmware that puts 2 or 3
'A' only encoders on one 7I97T 8 pin encoder connector
is possible)

Thank you

I will refer to hypertherms controller manual on the drive enables.

It looks like the thcad2 has replaced the thcad5 and thcad10? Its been a few years since I've messed with this stuff. My 7i96s table just works with zero maintenance.

Since there are 6 encoder interfaces on a 7i97t can I use the 2 left over for thc and ohmic?

Problems switching PDO assignments (EP5101-0011)

Category: EtherCAT

Hello endian

I'm sorry for answering a little bit late, i was busy studying for my upcoming exams. I hope you are doing well and everything is good after the storm you mentioned?

I tried the config from the 23rd and had syntax issues with the InitCMD section. As far as i can tell, you removed it in the version you updated on the 25th. Without the InitCMDs, the encoder inputs indeed change over to their 32bit counter PDO, unfortunately they get stuck in a PREOP error state.
While starting the machine, it also threw error about the "<pdoEntry idx="0" bitLen="4" halPin="Control--194" halType="s32">" part, i just removed that part, because it's not used (gap), according to Beckhoffs docs. 

Do you know a solution to the "Slave does not support changing the PDO mapping!" problem, when the slave supports it for sure?
And thank you for your help so far :)

Servo Driver Plasma Retrofit

Category: Plasmac

The basic motion I/O looks relatively straight forward

The A,/A B,/B, Z,/Z signals are encoder signals and go directly to the 7I97T

The Servo-Out pins go to the 7I97T analog out pins and the Servo-Out-Common pins
go the the 7I97T GND pins adjacent to the 7I97T analog out pins.

The drive enables are a bit more puzzling as It hard to tell if they are activated by grounding
or supplying a positive voltage

homing with Phase Z encoder on MESA 7i96s

Category: Advanced Configuration

Homing configuration is in both the hal file (index and home switch handling) and the ini file
(type of homing, directions, speeds etc)

what do you mean by a configuration problem, in a .hal file?

Replaced Hard drive - now my 'fast move' (SHIFT->arrow |PgUp/PgDn is not working

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

OK - I don't know how this got so 'catty wompus' but... turns out - it was my stepper setting. Originally - it was 8000 steps /inch. which seems to be what was in my 'backup' .INI. When I checked my step setting and did the math - I realized it should be 4000 steps. That improved the movement, but I was still getting 'follow errors' (or something like that). One thing I DID notice is - I was out by a factor of 2 when I did a G0 X.5 command. I went back to 8000 and suddenly I was out by a factor of 4... oops - wrong direction. Changed to 2000 steps/in and all my errors have gone and I am able to use the machine again.

I have to confirm yet - but I'm using a chinese 'blue' board parallel port controller and I'm wondering if my stepper switch settings are documented wrong.

Anyways - crisis resolved. Thank you for your help - this discussion can be closed.
