Sorted it thanks ,

Think docs need an update to reff direct download from Mesa is now needed or such

Config Files attached.. I am using Technic and the high level feedback line to determine that the steppers are homed when they are enabled. The steppers will go to a hard stop then come back 1 rev for the home position, when this is done they signal this through the HLFB output. Other than that I think the configs are normal and haven't chnaged since my original install a number of years ago.

We want pictures or videos or smoke signals...

How about this?
I drew this first sketch in LibreOffice Draw.
The plan is for most of the fields to be buttons. Touch a bend in the scrollable bends list to jump to that bend. Touch the filename to open the bend list editor which will include load/save etc. buttons. User/Status might open a dialog with login/logout buttons and status/fault log.

Maybe this needs/wants some kind of bar chart displaying tonnage and servo load% near the bottom? The press brake I'm working on does not currently have those values available in hal.

You need would update your LinuxCNC to say 2.9.8 to support version 3 of the PktUART

I'll take a look at the MPG issue.
 

can you post your config files?

By the way,

I hope that these new firmware allow to use MPG (quadrature) with pins 16 and 17 (7i76U), because the instruction:

setp hm2_7i92.0.7i76.0.0.encmode0 4

Return:

"./mpg.hal:5: param 'hm2_7i92.0.7i76.0.0.encmode0' is not writable"

Thanks again

hmm well 2.9 Qtdragon does support 5 axis and has sample configs for qtdragon and HD versions.

qtdragon/qtdragon_xy45/qtdragon_xyzac.ini

or

qtdragon_hd/qtdragon_hd_xyz/qtdragon_hd_xyzac.ini

Hi PCW
Thanks a lot of. 

I was waiting for your reply, but I hadn't seen it. I tried today, but got this result:
I used MesaFlash version 3.5.16.
Before flashing the firmware 7i92t_7i76u_pktv3.bin, do I need to update the board with PIN_7I76U_PKTV3_34.vhd? 

I'm sharing my new 9-axis CNC control panel, designed to industrial standards and based on LinuxCNC.
With its fully customizable structure and ergonomic design, you have complete control at your fingertips.

Key features:
Simultaneous control support for up to 9 axes.
Ergonomic axis selection and jog control.
All functions integrated, including spindle, coolant, tool release, and emergency stop.
Hardware fully compatible with LinuxCNC flexibility. 

Hi to all of you,

I am new to LinuxCNC and I set up a system using Ethercat and Probe Basic. I am getting more and more familiar with the configuration system and so far, everything works really well. The motors are moving and IOs do what I want them to do. So far so good.

The only problem I have is the use of DEFAULT_LINEAR_VELOCITY in the TRAJ section of the ini file. No matter what I put in here (trying to set it to 50mm/s), the speed ends up always beeing 600 mm/min ( which is 10mm/s). I checked the ini file if the line occurs twice. I also checked linked files but I can't find another occurence. It just drives me nuts. I searched several internet advices but no explained solutions work for me. 

It would be very nice if someone could have a look at my files and maybe find a solution I didn't see myself. Thanks a lot for this.

Please be aware, that I did prepare the hal file for more axis than three. But I only have 3 servos at the moment so there might be some future changes.

Just updated to the dev branch and tested the new feature with the Tang Nano 9K: it works perfectly!

The board now starts communicating and reading inputs immediately as soon as LinuxCNC launches, completely solving the startup issue.

Huge thanks for implementing this so quickly and for being so attentive and responsive. Really appreciate your support!

I’ve added an option for AutoConnect,
but I haven’t been able to test it properly yet; at least it’s already working in the simulator (dev branch)

 

Hi, ok, i understand what you mean, this is 'work as designed', little bit different to mesa
but i will check how to connect directly on startup.

Hi!I ran into a weird issue with my Tang Nano 9K setup (using Axis).On startup, LinuxCNC doesn't seem to read any inputs from the FPGA until I manually toggle E-Stop off in the UI (F1) at least once. After that initial click on screen, all physical buttons and inputs work perfectly.It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, as I can't use a physical reset button to clear the initial E-Stop on launch.Is the communication loop paused while in initial E-Stop, or is there a way in HAL to make RioCore poll and update inputs right from the start?Thanks!
