I have the same situation as you. If I solve it, I will reply below

On my mirror, www3.langdonstaab.ca/iso, I would like to remove these likely duplicates to reduce bandwidth and load for my server in the event that someone downloads all the files on my server (with wget -r or something).

Are these files identical?

Why are they still there?

Which one is actually correct?

They should be identical builds, but sometimes the project keeps multiple copies for mirror syncing or testing purposes. You can check the file hashes (MD5 or SHA256) to confirm before removing any duplicates from your mirror. 

I simply followed the installer's instructions. I only configured the selection of the 3 axes to their ports. I don't remember configuring an EStop.

It won't let me exit the emergency stop on the interface.

Is there a tutorial on how to configure it correctly?

joint.N.vel-cmd

Is there any way of retrieving joint velocity from the motion planner? I have been trying to interpolate it all day and I keep getting unwanted results: velocities that vary wildly, target position changing for no apparent reason, etc.

If I can get that directly from the motion planner, that would simplify the operation considerably.

Doh....That was it!

Thanks!

Make sure 7I96 W8 is in the down position.

If not, standard parallel port BOBs will short out the 7I96 5V supply

(W8 should only be in the up position for Mesa daughtercards that
get 5V power from the 7I96)
 

Hey Everyone, 

I flashed a mesa 7i96 (non s) with the 7i96_5abob_d.bin firmware, and tried to connect the bob but it would cause the 7i96 to power off every time.

With the ethernet port facing the left. Red line on the cable (pin 1) is pointed up (closer to the ethernet port). If i flip it around it doesnt short but it also does nothing. (flipped every gpio pin above 34 pins output and wasnt able to cycle the onboard relay) also steppers didnt move.

Tried with a second 7i96 with the same result. 

I've tried powering with the usb, powering via terminals, removing the jumper on BOB, adding the jumper. Nothing works.

Funny enough i have a 7i96s with a bob that works perfect. Tried to connect the 7i96 to that bob with its cable and it still shorts. So its not the wiring or the bob, its prob the firmware on the 7i96.

I've power cycled and used readhmid to verify it got the flash. The only odd thing is it has 3 steppers not 4. I also tried the 7i96_g540 flash to see if that would help but same issue.


Any help would be great.

Here is the board. Tried another green one that looks just like it with the same issue.

Not sure about the other errors but P should be 1000
(for all joints at a 1 ms servo thread rate) A P value
of 0 will work for a while but the joint will drift because
there is no position feedback.

The hal file is incomplete, if you cannot get out of estop, this is likely an issue
with the EStop related signals and these tend to be at the end of pncconf created
hal files.

Did you setup an external EStop? That might be another reason for inability
to get out of the EStop state.

Hi...need help..on 5 axis setup...A Axis now is not coordinated..also gives false warnings about going beyond a limits in file at line 72...
I have used this machine before in a similar way but not rotating more that 90 degrees either way...seems like it keeps looking to end of file and then starts moving continuous ahead of other axis??

Thanks for any help!!

Rick

You are welcomed, always.

Parport base address set to 0x2000 is the solution. Now the motor is working! Thank you very much!
