I didn't have that kernel version, so maybe that isn't the reason.
You got to have a well working system with no or at least very few "datagram UNMATCHED" in the syslog.
Check that first.

It seems like every time economies go down hill these big companies start snatching up small ones and 
gouge people for the same products. Or like most recent trends they start introducing subscription based B.S.
It's aggravating how much the masses are told that competition is good and the norm until it comes to big
corporate then it's all about monopolies.  

Hi
I have a newly installed version of Debian Linuxcnc and I keep getting this error when I try upgrade or install packages:
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-rt-amd64 (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.142+deb12u3) ...

Any help greatfuly recieved

i 'm using 6.1.0-37-rt-amd64, which one should i update?

Sorry, I wasn't online. Thanks for asking, I was able to fix the problem. As I said, RTFM

Also check opmode-display and connect it to cia402
like here github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/ma...le/ethercat-conf.xml and here github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402/blob/main/example/cia402.hal

If it still doesn't work after that, you should do a factory reset of the erc60.
It means writing to a SDO with "ethercat download -p 5 0x2nnn m 1"
where you need to find the right index n and subindex m from the erc60 manual.

here my screenshoots:

   

Thanks for your help

Hi sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday. Thank you, Aciera. I am new to this, so I will go through the link you sent and try to understand it. Is there any reason you would go the route of using the .comp format? Thanks for the input

More progress, but I need an M1 option stop. Is there a reason that M1 option stop does not work within this m6 routine? I was able to populate my tooltable with this code.

When I have my option stop enabled on the axis gui my resume button is greyed out and I can't resume.
Here is my current toolchange code:
(MSG, Selected tool number = #<_selected_tool>)

#<safe_z> = -.005 ; safe Z height above tool setter
#<probe_z> = -4.0 ; how far down to probe
#<setter_z> = -3.0 ; Z height of the setter in machine coords

M5
M1

G49 ; cancel length offset

G53 G90 G01 F100. Z[#<safe_z>] ; move above setter z retract

G53 G90 G01 X1.10 F100. Z[#<safe_z>] ; move to tool height setter


G10 L20 P9 Z0
G59.3


; Begin probing
G38.2 Z[#<probe_z>] F30.0
(If probe failed, LinuxCNC will stop here)

G01 G91 Z.02 F10.

G90 G38.2 Z[#<probe_z>] F.15

#<measured_z> = #5063 ; captured machine Z from probe
(MSG, 5063 value = #5063)


; Compute tool length
(MSG, Compute tool length)
#<tool_length> = [#<measured_z> - #<setter_z>]

; Store to tool table
(--- Optional: print value to operator ---)
(MSG, Tool length = #<tool_length>)

G10 L1 P#<_selected_tool> Z#<tool_length>
G43 H#<_selected_tool>


G53 G01 G90 Z0. F150.

Soon they'll also have a 4gb version. If someone is willing to make Remora work on it, you can put an Arduino cnc shield on it and you're ready.

Today, after update there is this error preventing start. When this entry is present in the .ini file

thats printed in terminal. If i comment that entry, the ui starts

A question about the plotter i was going to ask anyway: If a program is loaded, machine zero is in the center of the plot, and i have to search the preview. Is there a way to have the current coordinate system zero, centered in the plot, to see the preview directly.

Thanks for all the work done in this project. At the moment i am integrating the subroutines, and it's really nice how to control the index of tabs and stacked widget with a button connected to some python, then load the program with a push button. 
 

Can we start over?
Upload the hal and ini files here so we can have a look.
Also important as it seems, was this config made before LinuxCNC 2.7 or thereabouts?
What version of LinuxCNC do you have running now?
What Mesa cards are in use?

Hello, I'm trying to run a Python file with REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 python=atc_toolchange, but when I start Linuxcnc, I get the message: Hard Limits Are Reset To Active! The Python file doesn't say what could be causing this. Does anyone have an example of how I can run a Python file with REMAP=M6?

I've installed Debian 13 (kernel is 6.12.48) on a different computer, and attempted to build linuxcnc and ethercat from source as described at forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/54712-etherc...ons-updated-for-2024 and the results are the same:
returned Failed to upload SDO: Input/output error 7 out of 12 tries.

Now I wonder if there is actually a problem with LinuxCNC and ethercat, or if the drives are doing something strange.

Thank you for these very interesting explanations. 
I've barely familiarized myself with these special LinuxCNC capabilities until now, but I certainly sense their great potential.
In my ever-loved RHINO, I primarily try to find analytical geometric solutions directly, for example, an X-Y-Z-C-Points.ngc where the spatial position of the envelope shape is precisely used as the basis for the cutting contour.
The method you mentioned in the forum, e.g. according to github.com/FreddieHong19/Open5x, could also be used as an idea for creating such a suitable X-Y-Z-C-Punkte.ngc with Grasshopper.
