Enter the HMI users in droves now...

Hmm, I think SteamOS is based on Linux, so why not?

Agreed, they are expensive at full retail price.  I found my 32-button "XL" models steeply discounted for $100USD brand new, originally purchased for an unrelated R&D project.  I see them on the used market fairly often as well.  If I didn't already have them sitting on a shelf, I probably wouldn't have gone down this path either, but it was a fun little project.

 

try to give the right sequence to IDX in the .xml file
it should be, I think

For a DIY fix you could make a custom remap M6 and check if

iocontrol.0.tool-number = iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number

and only if this is false call the built in M6 to execute the actual toolchange.
 

Thanks for such a quick reply.

I'm still a rookie when it comes to LinuxCNC so a "custom remap M6" is something I'll have to read up on how to do because I haven't gotten that far into the depths of the G-code universe yet .

  Please help me, there is no way I can solve this myself, as it can be seen now, ethercat is working, if I start it again, I have to install it again and again, please.

I'm not familiar with remora but please post your hal and ini files so people can get an idea of what you have.

Till now I am able to move all axis. Configured limit switches. Kind of working pwm spindle tested the pwm with multimeter not on actual spindle. Thats it.

Seems you already have the basics there what do you think you are you missing?

Once you have your axes working (ie jogging and able to command using the MDI input) you can move on to changing the kinematic as suggested in your other thread:

Yes it does, on the first page.
Capacitors are funny, for some frequencies they act as a short while for some other frequencies they act as they do not exist!
China uses them to lower the mains voltage on all cheap adapters/LED lights/chargers/toys/etc, as they can lower the voltage without the need to dissipate huge amounts of power. That also makes these devices extremely dangerous as there is no isolation from the mains.
To much stuff they do to be able to put it inside a single reply.

Hello everyone, i am trying to jog x-axis through ethercat, but the driver gives er 818, and linuxcnc gives a message of joint 0 following error. i am using leadshine EL8 Ec400f servo driver. here are the ini,hal, and xml files. Any help is highly appreciated.

In this case, it acts as a dead short for the AC interference while the HV start/pilot is on, it does not affect the DC voltage that THCAD needs to measure.
 

 

I found this paper which seems to explaina little bit the subject : www.vishay.com/docs/28153/acfilmconnectionmains.pdf
Does it ?

I am total noob in LinuxCNC world.

I am using small diy hobbyist cnc machine.
My machine is 5 axis diy. I use it in two configuration. XYZAB and XYZBC. 

I am using MKS OCTOPUS pro board with RPI4 using remora.
Till now I am able to move all axis. Configured limit switches. Kind of working pwm spindle tested the pwm with multimeter not on actual spindle. Thats it.
I have read documentation about linuxcnc but can't get it.

What I need.
Fully working setup. With 7 limit switches. One probe input. One Estop input. Kinamatics for 5 axis xyzab configuration.

My machine is 300x200x200

This is exactly the same problem I had on the same 8 GB Pi 4, I've given up on the Pi and switched to an old desktop PC without this problem.

Hello dear members, I reinstalled it maybe 50 times and when it restarted, ethercat master raspberry pi 4 8gb ==== Failed to obtain number of masters:
Failed to open master device /dev/EtherCAT0" No such file or directory
There is no problem before restarting, it sees the server, everything is fine. Is this a raspberry pi problem?????
I tried many times before writing here, no matter what I did, Linuxcnc 2.9.2 Rasberry Pi is installed, please help.

I'm using the TOOL_CHANGE_QUILL_UP setting in the INI file to make the Z-axis go to the top during tool changes which works great.

However I've noticed that if the G-code calls for a tool change but the correct tool is already in the spindle the Z-axis still goes to the top and the down again (without any user interaction) before proceeding with the program.

On a machine like mine with 550mm of Z-axis travel and relatively slow travel speeds this leads to quite a bit of waiting for the Z-axis to do it's "up and down ceremony" each time I restart the program using the same tool as the last time.

Would it be possible to add a check in the implementation of the TOOL_CHANGE_QUILL_UP function to skip the quill up movement if the correct tool is already loaded?

I'm sure that there are a lot of variables and uses cases involved here that I'm not aware of as LinuxCNC rookie so I thought I'd post this here instead of creating an issue on GitHub.

The X-axis belt cover is designed a bit differently as one of the belt pulleys protrude a few millimeters below the servo mounting bracket.








Here is how it looks installed.





The next items on the "Todo list" now are to replace the spindle bearings and get jog controls in Probe Basic to play ball with my physical jog buttons. However first I'm planing to make a few batches of parts as I'm itching to do some proper CNC milling
