I haven't open thread for my machine.
I have also some small changes to your crowbar interpolator circuit:
added parallel to C2 capacitor 1uF
replaced the diode D3 with 5v6
replaced R2 with lower value i think 270R or 330R
and put soldered fuses 1A.
What changes have you done ?
Is this the updated shematic you have done or not uploaded yet ?

Do you have one spindle working?
Can you post you hal/ini files?

Did you figure it out? I’m having the same issue

I got the gantry together was alot of work  and planning to make sure it was all straight. It rolls pretty nicely you can feel the hop between rails a little but I think with the size of the machine the vibrations will smooth out. If it appears in the cut quality I will switch to linear rails. We are painting it right now looks like a brand new machine! A friend of mine may have some brushless dc motors hes getting from work for me, we will see otherwise likely going to go with china brand servo motors. Still alot of work ahead of me on this project, im hoping it will be a reliable machine cut around the clock without issues. 

That unfortunately  means that the Ethernet chip has been damaged
by large enough ESD that a spark jumped from the RJ45 housing to the
LED pin. This is why it's very important to ground the frame ground
connection, especially when testing and plugging/unplugging cables.

This is repairable by replacing the Ethernet chip.
 

Yes, after the changes I've power cycled the card and also changed die IP address on the host.
With noch ethernet cable connected, the right LED of the RJ45 port light steady yellow.

Note that if you change jumper positions you must power cycle the 7I97T for the changes to take effect.

Also if you change the 7I97T card address, you must also change the host IP address.

Do you get any lights on the RJ45 connector when the cable is unplugged?

Hello.
I've a problem with the connection to my 7i97t. 
This card is two weeks old and I'm still test and configure the card with LCNC.
At the beginning all works fine. I connected the card with the adress 10.10.10.10.
But today suddenly the connection didn't work anymore.
Actually nothing is connected to TB1-TB5. Only the ethernet cable on the 5V is connected. And only the LEDs CR9, CR23 and CR27 are on (yellow).
I've tested so far
- the jumper positions of W11,W12 (DN,DN / DN,UP / UP,UP)
- changed the ethernet cable
- changed the pc
But all with the same result: no answer with the ping command.
The two LEDs of the ethernet port are on (left green and right yellow) and when I ping the green LED is flashing simultaneously with the ping command.
Is the card really broken or is there still a possibility to make the card running?

Better make it a carrot. At least there's some irony with that.

Avoid Amazon whenever you can.

Their stuff is overpriced and often low-quality.


I recommend you install LinuxCNC from the official ISO image: www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso
XFCE can be annoying tho.

NOTE: Chrome seems to download files really slowly, I recommend using cURL, wget, JDownloader, or Firefox.

I'm having a problem with the tool setter configuration. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a known problem, although I haven't found anything similar on the forum.

When I modify a tool setter parameter, I click "update tool setter parameters" and it's saved. When I close Probe Basic and reopen it, the configuration changes to the previous one, and spidnle in the var file is reset to zero.
As a result, the milling machine has already crashed several times, until I realized that for some reason the configuration was out of order.

I'm also getting the error shown in one of the images when I turn Probe Basic on and off.

The error in the image shows the tool setter settings I entered, and the other image shows the settings that are set when I close and reopen Probe Basic.

I'm on the stable branch.

E-mails are not working today, last i got was last night around 10PM my time.
It's 16:26PM now.

I know i would.

Hi, this question might be a bit displaced on this forum because my current issue doesn't regard linuxcnc. I plan to ultimately connect this to linuxcnc but ran into some trouble. Since this is a forum with plenty of supportive automation experts i figured i'd ask here.

I have this TURCK ethercat gateway.
www.turck.se/sma/product/100037881
With 3 I/0 Modules:
BL20-E-16DI-24VDC-P
BL20-E-16DO-24VDC-0.5A-P 
BL20-E-8AI-U/I-4PT/NI 

My ultimate goal is to use ethercat to add analog and digital IO to linuxcnc. However, configuring the device has turned out to be quite a pain. On windows it's quite easy using the CODESYS software that manages everything but there's no equivalent for linux. 
I'm trying to use the EtherLab ethercat backend to write configuration data to the BL20. It needs to receive the information about what modules are connected to it. I put together this C program (in atachment) that's supposed to send the required data but the device still doesn't go into operational mode.
I feel like this process should not be this involved. Am I missing something? Are there tools that allow me to do this more easily?
Any guidance here would be appreciated, thanks.
