I went to make what should have been a 29.534mm hex bolt, however it came out very off spec. I've no real idea why. 

• what it was supposed to be - imgur.com/a/6chSepJ
• how it came out - imgur.com/a/6r5prsT
  • note the 'bump'
  • didn't come out to dimension
• video link - 
  • it had three points holding it, and i did two that both came out the same, which makes me believe it is the cnc config not work holding
• the configs -  github.com/vetsin/linuxcnc-pm30/tree/scr...d-probe/configs/PM30

I did go through the process of checking backlash and ensuring my velocity was alright a long time ago -- but honestly it's been a very slow project and I forget what I did. Any ideas what the reason for the problem could be? What should I check first?

@RODW,

Have you tried Ventoy?

I've tried a number of tools and the only one that has never let me down is balena etcher. It even works with raspberry pi images!

Done.
Thank you.

Ventoy is a different beast, but it does simplify everything USB, all it takes is just a simple copy of the ISO file. That is it, nothing more.
But installing it might just end up sideways, it does warn a lot to be careful, and takes about 1-2 minutes to install.
I use it a lot, daily, on many USB, SSD and NVME, a lot....saves a lot of time for testing and installing operating systems, works even for WinXP and Win10, and a lot of Linux distros.

I got just the encoder itself moved over to the 7i84u
#net jog-counter <= hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.00.count
is now
net jog-counter <= hm2_7i96s.0.7i84.0.0.enc0.count
and it's working as it should

But these lines don't seem to work anymore or I'm referencing them incorrectly
#setp hm2_7i96s.0.7i84.0.0.enc0.counter-mode 0
#setp hm2_7i96s.0.7i84.0.0.enc0.filter 1
From what I'm reading those don't exist on the 7i84u in mode 2
Something I need to do some other way or something I don't need to worry about ?

@RODW,

Have you tried Ventoy?

Theres no vfd there’s a image of what im trying to hook up in a earlier post
im trying to find out how to get variable voltage

so would the spindle enable be the variable voltage

No, spindle enable is just enabling the VFD, speed is controlled by variable voltage.

The 0-10 volt to control the speed

Hi @cmorely, any news on this issue?

Best Regards

Not sure what you mean here

At the physical interface level there is no enable, but rather FWD and REV

 

so would the spindle enable be the variable voltage

Sorry, I was wrong:

The SSRs (that you would use for spindle FOR/REV) are on TB3,
but the PWM controlled analog output is on TB2

ok im starting to understand
but not the speed control PWM?
