Need help making rotary axis behave like second spindle

Category: Advanced Configuration

Easiest way would be to make another config.
leave the old one for when you need position.

In the new config change the A to be a spindle.

Lookup step and direction spindle for examples. If you dont want to mess with it I could do it for you.

Then it should work as you intend with me s1000 $1

Ohmic Probe + Material Height Feature Request

Category: Plasmac

I’ve had a similar thought in the past, with regard to speeding things up.  I was thinking of automatically compensating the probe height based on material thickness, as you said, added to the material fields.

I like the idea, and since someone has officially asked for it, I’ll start looking into making it happen.

Give me some time, I’ll let you know when it’s ready for you to try out.  It will be added to 2.10 by the way.

 I get:

peter@peter-HP-EliteDesk-800-G1-USDT:~/Downloads$ ./getmac
Old MAC Addr: 00601B168000

peter@peter-HP-EliteDesk-800-G1-USDT:~/Downloads$ ./newmac
Old MAC Addr: 00601B168000
New MAC Addr: 00601B160801

Reseting Ethernet CPU
waiting for reset
Old MAC Addr: 00601B160801

./newmac: line 8: ./setmac: Text file busy
Reseting Ethernet CPU
waiting for reset
./newmac: line 14: ./setmac: Text file busy


Is that a worry ? Or is that due to network latency ?
Board is behind a switch and I'm working on a laptop connect via wifi, I can ping and readhmid with mesa flash ok

I used ./setmac 00123456789A in the script

Dumb me I should have sourced the file. All is good.

12 hex characters (this is from an initialization script so the
last three characters (the $1) are supplied on the command line

that is:

./setmac 00123456789A

etc

Note that "00601B" is Mesas range

Wow thanks Pete, was just thinking about how to do this. I really think I owe you a few beers.

Another question, if I may.
[/code]./setmac 00601B168$1/[code]

What's the format for the MAC ?

Is it the same if you just install the ready apt package with ethercat instead of building ethercat master yourself?

EtherCAT + 7i96s for encoder input and analog output

Category: EtherCAT

Hello 
I have managed to get a few motors running with etherCAT, but I still need a simple I/O system with analog out and encoder input, to use a mesa THCAD.

How is it feasible? Do I need a dual Ethernet card? 
The PCs I’m using have a single Ethernet port, so to run both mesa and ethercat I will need another Ethernet system, to have different NICs, right?

thank you.

Hi,

The corbett install uses systemctl to start & stop the ethercat bus.
In debian 12 & 13 i use /etc/init.d/ethercat start.

At what time is your ethercat bus started, at pc boot time?

Running an external program from a HAL pin

@Pcw,

Yes, that should work.
Script below works.

$ halcmd -s show pin halui.estop.is-activated
prints:
halui bit   OUT FALSE halui.estop.is-activated

Then get the FALSE or TRUE in a script:

Category: HAL

Another possibility would be a script with halcmd  in a loop,
watching the desired pin/signal  (halcmd -s show pin spindle.0.on | grep TRUE)
(this could also turn off the spindle if LinuxCNC was not running)
