Bridgeport VMC760 retrofit

Yes, the RS-422 is their smart serial connection between the 7i97T FPGA main board and 7i73 and 7i84 daughter boards. Since there is only one RS-422 configured standard on the 7i97T (on TB4), you can only connect one of those two cards, until you reflash the 7i97T to reconfigure some of the pins of the P2 expansion port to provide a second RS-422.

Glad you are enjoying my videos. It is fun to dick around with this stuff :)
Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the clarification Mark.
Apologies on the slow reply, I've had an internet detox the last week!

Do you need all new drives?

I thought only one broke.

Sorry Langdons, I've been away the last week and decided to take a breather from the internet.

By the looks of it yes, just one. However, given the likelihood of another dying in the future, I'd rather replace the whole bunch. The quotes to repair them are sky high and secondhand ones are almost as bad.

hi Hakan,

Thanks for the recommendation to move to cia402 - the drive runs and i can at least move the motor! I feel like I might have taken some weird workarounds trying to chase linuxcnc compile errors, so I probably need to touch on whether these are "acceptable" - perhaps you can comment on the below?

note with the above: I had to comment out quite a few lines to avoid having to go "deeper" into ini files to remove errors from occuring... one such example was with the cia402.0.motor-pos-fb and cmd, I had errors stating that they were already linked to Xpos - so I just "reassigned" them. basically any line in the above that is commented out is just due to an error. definitely also need to uncomment the fault reporting...

next step for me is to set up a physical axis where I can test homing and rotation distance of a ball screw etc. and get an IO board working

My Maho homes off the Heindenhain LS-403 scale index marks. Works the same as homing to a a separate homing switch.

Do you have the LS 403 scale or the LS 403 C? Could explain why I have some problems since the "C" is the Distance-coded version of the scale...

There is an issue with the ISO for Intel hardware, the package "raspi-firmware" is installed, suggest everyone remove this before running dist-upgrade.

Ciould you give a brand and model number. I have an RTL88 TP Link USB WiFi working at about 40 Kbps, with thr special driver for it. My laqptop in the same spot has abiout 70 Mbps. I would like to buy a known working USB WiFi with whatever driver is needed.

Yeah Lathe UI is still using the old settings method, it will get updated in the future after the next major mill release.

I'll take a look when I get some more time, I spent today on another issue I've run across, but hopefully in the next few days I'll have a few minutes to investigate the keyboard thing.

Just reinstall from scratch would be my suggestion, it's pretty fast, then follow the latest docs to update your config.

If you follow the instructions carefully it takes about an hour start to finish including creating and installing Linux on a clean system. I do it every few days for new builds and testing and it's not too bad considering what it is. The machine setup is the most challenging and that is really such a unique to user thing that is hard to make it simpler.
