On the stepper driver, the led is green and on the BOB there are 3 red led lights. I have a 36V 11A Stepperonline and a 24V 6A MeanWell power supply. I measured the output of the power supplies and they are working properly. For now, I just connected the X axis to test if the wiring is correctly and to learn to operate LinuxCNC.I also tried with another driver and stepper motor but is the same. Maybe because I didn't connected the Y and Z axis the stepper motor is not moving? Thank you for your time!

Hello. I have installed the latest version of LinuxCNC. Everything seems to be correct, but I cannot see the jogs to control the motors on the interface and the red ‘X’ does nothing. I do not know what to do. I cannot find a way to continue. Thank you.

   

Weird.

Is the status LED red or green?

Are the Y and Z axes also controlled via stepper motors?

Try connecting them to the X-axis driver.

Perhaps your power supply is at fault?

What is your power supply?

You should be able to take the oritinal working ini file and copy it into it's original configuration directory, Saving it with a new name .ini.

Then you without making any changes to the original ini file other than it's name start the configuration. It of course will still be the same but have a new name. Then start making small changes to the ini file. You need to be aware of any variable references to the ini file that the hal file(s) use, and if any of them refer to sections of the ini that you are changing you will need to address them. These are very common in the sections of hal code referring to the joints and axis. There is a good chance you will have to make a copy of the main hal file, rename, and make changes there to go along with your ini changes.

I was talking about the index from the motorencoder - the inductive sensor is seen only once per rev.

Hi ruediger,

ich versuche gerade auch LinuxCNC mit IndraDrive CS HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW Treibern zu verbinden. Dafür verwende ich 2 Linearmotoren und und ein Standardservo. Ich bin erst recht neu in dem ganzen LinuxCnC Thematik. Ich habe bereits der Treiber auf CoE umgestellt, wodurch man diese dann ja nicht mehr im Indradrive finden kann bzw anpingen kann, was man dann ja über EoE beheben kann. Wie schwierig ist es die Treiber im LinuxCnC zum laufen zu bringen und wie bist du vorgegangen?

Gruß Timo

A following error can mean either that the motor does not move when its drive is
given an analog command or possibly that the encoder is no longer working.

I would first check if the encoder is reporting the position correctly. One way
to check is to manually move the X axis with the drive disabled and see if the
DRO position looks correct.

I removed ENA+ and ENA- connections and also in StepConfig I disabled P14 but still the stepper motor is not moving. Before I used the P14 as Amplifier Enable. Thank you!

 

Bonjour à tous, 

J'ai un soucis depuis quelques jours, j'ai une fraiseuse CNC que j'ai retrofité il y a presque 2 ans avec une 6i25 et 7i77.

Celle ci fonctionnait bien jusqu'a aujourd'hui, je vais essayer de décrire mon probleme :

Une erreur jointure 0 qui apparait et coupe la puissance de la machine, avant que la coupure, la machine se stoppe dans l'axe x (ne bouge plus sur X), sur la visu de l'ecran cela bouge encore et d'un coup au bout de quelques secondes la puissance se coupe, j'imagine que le moteur envoi le signal qu'il n'avance plus, a quoi est du cette erreur ?

merci à vous
 

Found the bug and fixed it, thanks for the report.

Why would removing the GPU help?

A dedicated GPU can actually improve latency and performance.

But make sure all your monitor(s) are connected to the NVIDIA if it is installed.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

After a little bit testing and understanding i got the output to work

Powering the enable input disables the drive; perhaps that's the problem.

Leave the driver's enable pins unconnected or shorted together.

See if that fixees your problem.

Hello! 

I installed LinuxCNC 2.9.4 on a Dell optiplex 790 PC. I attached a parallel port card to the PCI slot and connected a BOB to it. I attached a single  DM556 driver and a 57BYGH76-8 Nema 23 stepper motor to the X axis following the recommendations for the wiring(attached photos) but the stepper motor is not moving. The motor is powered (it's impossible to turn it by hand when the power supplies are connected). I tried to remove the GPU (Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660) but the stepper is still not working but the OS is running better (before this when I tried to do a Latency Test the OS crashed a several times).
Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Adrian

Thank you!

I got carousel and looked through it quick. 

So my understanding is the machine has a main INI file and HAL file.  The INI file pulls in the HAL files that are to be used.  HAL files connect real world things to hardware, hardware to hardware and anything virtual?


What file actually dictates how the machine moves for carousel, and what language would it be programmed with?  Im an industrial electrician that programs with ladder.
