Remora - Rpi Software Stepping Using External Microcontroller via SPI

Category: Computers and Hardware

There needs to be motor power on for the TMC drives to configure. the CS pins are the Rx pins, but leave them in uart mode. the TMC spi is on the same channel as the comms SPI so idk what will happen if they interfere or something.
but first step is working out comms
does it connect to linuxcnc yet with the drivers in uart?

take it to here,

but if flashing the config worked before and now it wont work, you will probably need to do a full chip erase to overwrite the sector, then reload the firmware and config.

Replied by pgf on topic using HAL to correct axis errors

using HAL to correct axis errors

Category: Advanced Configuration

I wanted to bring this thread up to date, in case anyone finds it and finds it useful. I recently upgraded my mill from 2.7.4 to 2.9.4, which of course brought in the joints axes changes.

Those required some rework of my skew corrector. The component module itself was unchanged. It's in a post above .

But the linkage into HAL did change, due to joints axes, and the introduction of pid.

First, 2.7: the original HAL had a fairly simple connection between motor and stepgen:

  ypos-cmd
      axis.1.motor-pos-cmd ==> stepgen.1.position-cmd
  ypos-fb
      stepgen.1.position-fb ==> axis.1.motor-pos-fb

  xpos-cmd
      axis.0.motor-pos-cmd ==> stepgen.0.position-cmd
  xpos-fb
      stepgen.0.position-fb ==> axis.0.motor-pos-fb

I was able to simply insert the nonsquare function block into the middle of each Y axis signal path, and tap into the X signal path.

 ypos-cmd
      axis.1.motor-pos-cmd ==> nonsquare-table.y-in
  ypos-cmd-adjusted
      nonsquare-table.y-out ==> stepgen.1.position-cmd
  ypos-fb-adjusted
      stepgen.1.position-fb ==> nonsquare-table.y-fb-in
  ypos-fb
      nonsquare-table.y-fb-out ==> axis.1.motor-pos-fb

  xpos-cmd
      axis.0.motor-pos-cmd ==> stepgen.0.position-cmd
                           ==> nonsquare-table.x-in
  xpos-fb
      stepgen.0.position-fb ==> axis.0.motor-pos-fb
                            ==> nonsquare-table.x-fb-in

The newer LinuxCNC path in 2.8/2.9 is a little more complicated, with the introduction of the PID mechanism.

  y-pos-cmd
      joint.1.motor-pos-cmd ==> pid.y.command
  y-output
      pid.y.output ==> hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.01.velocity-cmd
  y-pos-fb
      hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.01.position-fb ==> joint.1.motor-pos-fb
                                        ==> pid.y.feedback

  x-pos-cmd
      joint.0.motor-pos-cmd ==> pid.x.command
  x-output
      pid.x.output ==> hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.00.velocity-cmd
  x-pos-fb
      hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.00.position-fb ==> joint.0.motor-pos-fb
                                        ==> pid.x.feedback

Integrating the nonsquare function in the new HAL is similar, butasymmetric. TreIn the output direction, the nonsquare function is inserted between the joint and pid (which then feeds stepgen), but in the feedback direction, we insert between stepgen and the joint.

Regardless, the new function is inserted just after (cmd) and before (fb) the joint command. The X control for the new function is similarly attached directly to the joint function.

  y-pos-cmd
      joint.1.motor-pos-cmd ==> nonsquare-table.y-in
  new-y-pos-cmd
      nonsquare-table.y-out ==> pid.y.command
  y-output
      pid.y.output ==> hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.01.velocity-cmd
  y-pos-fb
      hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.01.position-fb ==> nonsquare-table.y-fb-in
                                        ==> pid.y.feedback
  new-y-pos-cmd-fb
      nonsquare-table.y-fb-out ==> joint.1.motor-pos-fb

  x-pos-cmd
      joint.0.motor-pos-cmd ==> pid.x.command
                            ==> nonsquare-table.x-in
  x-output
      pid.x.output ==> hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.00.velocity-cmd
  x-pos-fb
      hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.00.position-fb ==> joint.0.motor-pos-fb
                                        ==> pid.x.feedback
                                        ==> nonsquare-table.x-fb-in

I like to read, a lot.
Thanks to all, especially Andy, JT, Todd, Chris M, PCW, etc for putting up with me, and the never ending support and wisdom they selflessly dispense on this forum.

Do you get latency warnings when running LinuxCNC?
Does the connection to Mesa board get dropped?
Latency does not look good, see if it can be improved by using isolcpus, but first enter the BIOS and disable anything with power saving and hyperthreading and TPM.

Yeah, attention span has gone to hell in a hand basket with the advent of Instagrams and TikToks and the likes.
And youtube just had to jump into that bandwagon ! Now i am "forced" to post shorts that i really hate...

Can MDI_COMMAND entries be explicitly numbered?

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I seem to have forgotten to subscribe to this topic, so I've missed the replies until today. Sorry about that.

@Aciera -- not sure I understand the bit about "...not sure if it's really worth the effort as there are other keys that can occur multiple times (eg 'REMAP' or 'HALFILE')". How does that effect whether MDI_COMMANDS can be referenced explicitly?

@cmorley -- I'm surprised that this can be done on a UI-by-UI basis. But there's an awful lot I don't understand about the underpinnings of LinuxCNC.

Hola Tommy!! Gracias por tu respuesta... En una de mis maquinas lo he podido solucionar con esta guía:

gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/debian-12-eth.html

Ahora funciona perfecto!!!

Pero para otra de mis maquinas no funciono. Te envío lo que me pides de la pc que no funciono.

Muchas gracias!!

cofhal - I will look at your files now, I did have another idea as well - could i simply use two stepgens? one for step.dir for spindle and another one for the "C" axis? and have a mesa output pin switch a dpdr relay to simply alter where the same motor gets the input?

You don't need two stepgens. Typically the way this is done is that a single stepgen is used (in velocity mode)
and the velocity command comes from the commanded spindle speed in spindle mode and the position control PID
loop output in C Axis mode. The trick is returning to C axis mode after being in spindle mode with the spindle in
an arbitrary position.

I have a servo driver just like yours, and it does have an encoder feedback output, but some manuals don't document it. The encoder has a 2500-pulse output. To use it and make it work, the relationship between the servo and the spindle must be 1:1 for the index to work.
