IInteresting—I used the Fusion360 post processor from the first page of this thread (forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0). After rereading the PDF, it doesn’t explicitly say so, but I think I need to create separate 2D profiles for each feature I’m cutting. Since the post processor doesn’t generate Z movements, would that mean making individual profiles for all 12+ holes plus the part outline? and i assume plasmaC will control Z when it goes to probe for each cut?  I also tried Inkscape (which I like), but it skips certain splines and rounded corners in my parts. Redesigning everything just to fit Inkscape’s gcode output would be counterproductive.

Thank you so much Tommylight for your reply, i greatly appreciate your help!

I don't understand what you mean.
Perhaps you should directly describe the actual problem you are facing.

Hi, guys.

Does anyone know how to write FIXED PDO MAPPING in "ethercat-conf.xml"?

 

You can use M70-M73 for this type situation normally, but they require a return or ending call to be activated. the issue is that a probe abort does not allow any further interpreter action. It's an absolute stop of the que on the G38.x line which also leaves the subroutines in a hung state. I tried finding a work around a few years ago, but I couldn't sort out how to go about it.

My guess is something in lcnc would need to be added to error output maybe?

I'm sorry to be late to publish my codes.
This is my repository for it.

I have installed and created a working configuration for my mill. I'm very happy with it so far. I previously had the mill controlled by mach4, which had some issues. There were some things that I like about the mach4 gui, though. I want to modify my linuxcnc gui to include some of these features and thought I might be able to use gladeVCP to do it.

The installation I used for linuxcnc is the newest and recommended install. When I follow the gladeVCP documentation section 3.1, which says that if the Glade command is miss, install it with the command sudo apt install glade.

The glade command is indeed missing, but sudo apt install glade fails with unable to locate package glade.

What am I missing? Where can I find the glade package?
 

Yeah forgot about the permission errors. With calling this script from crontab it will solve that:
#!/usr/bin/bash
sleep 10 &&
echo "-1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
echo 20 > /proc/irq/63/smp_affinity & echo 20 > /proc/irq/64/smp_affinity

The last ones to pin the Ethernet irqs, you should take yours which you can find with "cat /proc/interrupts"

Then save the file somewhere and chmod +x /location/filename
And enter "sudo crontab -e" and enter "@reboot /location/filename"
After that at least you should have LinuxCNC working again.
For the acceleration I'll have a look for that one of these days.

Now I see that the previous time your nvme didn't work until I reverted the got patch. Is it working now? Because I didn't do that on this kernel.

At least the Panfrost and the Panthor drivers are built in the kernel so it should be a system config or Mesa problem. Is the Mali firmware installed? "ls /usr/lib/firmware/mali*"
Which image are you using?

I believe the axis GUI doesn't respond to changes such as you described, that can be seen in the example Sim configurations supplied with the standard Linuxcnc install.
Just thinking out loud, it would probably require digging into the axis code, exposing Hal pins for the GUI elements you would want to modify and implementing the code to respond to the Hal pins. This is part speculation.

But yes I've often thought that external interaction with the Axis GUI elements would be an idea, I still very much like axis. As much as many call the look dated, it works reliably.
But word on the street has it Axis is written in some language that only vets of The Editor Wars truly understand. I not too sure how many Vi or Emacs users are left.

Sorry for the dad joke at the end of this post, it really doesn't add much to answer your initial question.

Oh yeah, forgot to add, modules 1631 and probably 1632 have data values ​​output to port 2^16, so you'll need a bitslice conversion, not individual bit values ​​for input/output in your *.hal file

I believe that can implemented in a web browser via careful implementation of bookmarking.

For the RPi I created a topic that has links to various solutions to issues with the RPi.

Or copying and pasting links to a local html file. One could even create a GitHub repo for this purpose, organising links of similar topics into folders.

Or even a simple database on one's home computer, which would give you the ability to search by keywords. Or you could get real fancy and use PHP to connect to the database and have a browser based solution GUI for searching and returning the results as a direct link.

Look the current version of the forum software has a barely usable editor, anyways this kind of feature would be best suggested to the authors of the forum software.

Start with the configuration with the lpt port, then make changes to the *.hal file linuxcnc, if there is no physical lpt, then just comment out the lines using it... Attached is xml for 1631 and aq0810 from amsamotion
 

I've tried to run your config. Firstly corrected

BASE_PERIOD = 1000000
SERVO_PERIOD = 5000000

to

BASE_PERIOD = 0
SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000

You config also seems to be setup for imperial yet using mm?

I can jog with that above correction without following errors.

For your DRV8825 have you added the micro stepping jumpers? The DRV8825 wont enable without this, which I tried on my SKR3EZ. I unfortunately killed my normal SKR3 so cannot test with that board.

This may sound dumb as I am no gcode expert, but is there a way to "push" the current gcode settings
and restore them later?

ini values can be changed using the 'ini.*' hal pins. Changes can be made while a program is running but will only become active after a queue buster command (eg M66 E0 L0) which will restart the motion planner with the updated ini values.
