I have a something similar setup and you should be able to do it with the one configuration. Since linuxcnc supports multiple spindles I just made another spindle instance and then used a mux2 component to switch between outputting the axis velocity and spindle velocity to the mesa stepgen.  I think I just used the spindle.1.on signal to switch the mux2 component.  That way when I issue m3 s100 $1 it will run the second spindle at 100 rpm.  There could be some issues keeping position if you switch back and forth between the modes depending on how things are setup.    

In StepConf wizard, the "parallel port" page there is an entry for "parport base address" so set that to 0x2000 and test if the stepper moves.
If not, also try 0x2010 but it would be good to reboot the PC before testing it.

Habe ich das mit der Konfig der mesa Karten richtig verstanden, dass ich zuerst herausfinden muss wieviele Ein- und Ausgänge ich brauche um dann die passende Konfig auf die Karte zu spielen?

Installiere linuxcnc auf den Raspberry und starte einfach pncconf, dann kannst du dir die Mesakarte aussuchen und siehst selber was man braucht.
Du brauchst die Steigung deiner Spindeln (der Hersteller gibt 0.00375mm/schritt an, also vermutlich 1.5 oder 3 mm).
In pncconf werden Takt/Richtung für die Achsen fix vergeben sein, du musst den Pins nur korrekte Achsen zuordnen. Dann noch angeben an welchen Pins welche Endschalter hängen und das war eigentlich schon alles. Also praktisch nur von deiner HAL-Datei abschreiben.
Oder du schaust hier:  linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/pncconf.html

If the "Emergency Stop" button (red X) does nothing, this is likely an issue in the hal or ini files.

Can you post your hal/ini files here?

Axis should look something like this initially (before estop is released):


 


After Estop is released and before power (Orange button) is on:


 


and after power is on:


 


 

On the stepper driver, the led is green and on the BOB there are 3 red led lights. I have a 36V 11A Stepperonline and a 24V 6A MeanWell power supply. I measured the output of the power supplies and they are working properly. For now, I just connected the X axis to test if the wiring is correctly and to learn to operate LinuxCNC.I also tried with another driver and stepper motor but is the same. Maybe because I didn't connected the Y and Z axis the stepper motor is not moving? Thank you for your time!

Hello. I have installed the latest version of LinuxCNC. Everything seems to be correct, but I cannot see the jogs to control the motors on the interface and the red ‘X’ does nothing. I do not know what to do. I cannot find a way to continue. Thank you.

   

You should be able to take the oritinal working ini file and copy it into it's original configuration directory, Saving it with a new name .ini.

Then you without making any changes to the original ini file other than it's name start the configuration. It of course will still be the same but have a new name. Then start making small changes to the ini file. You need to be aware of any variable references to the ini file that the hal file(s) use, and if any of them refer to sections of the ini that you are changing you will need to address them. These are very common in the sections of hal code referring to the joints and axis. There is a good chance you will have to make a copy of the main hal file, rename, and make changes there to go along with your ini changes.

I was talking about the index from the motorencoder - the inductive sensor is seen only once per rev.

Hi ruediger,

ich versuche gerade auch LinuxCNC mit IndraDrive CS HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW Treibern zu verbinden. Dafür verwende ich 2 Linearmotoren und und ein Standardservo. Ich bin erst recht neu in dem ganzen LinuxCnC Thematik. Ich habe bereits der Treiber auf CoE umgestellt, wodurch man diese dann ja nicht mehr im Indradrive finden kann bzw anpingen kann, was man dann ja über EoE beheben kann. Wie schwierig ist es die Treiber im LinuxCnC zum laufen zu bringen und wie bist du vorgegangen?

Gruß Timo

A following error can mean either that the motor does not move when its drive is
given an analog command or possibly that the encoder is no longer working.

I would first check if the encoder is reporting the position correctly. One way
to check is to manually move the X axis with the drive disabled and see if the
DRO position looks correct.

I removed ENA+ and ENA- connections and also in StepConfig I disabled P14 but still the stepper motor is not moving. Before I used the P14 as Amplifier Enable. Thank you!

 

Bonjour à tous, 

J'ai un soucis depuis quelques jours, j'ai une fraiseuse CNC que j'ai retrofité il y a presque 2 ans avec une 6i25 et 7i77.

Celle ci fonctionnait bien jusqu'a aujourd'hui, je vais essayer de décrire mon probleme :

Une erreur jointure 0 qui apparait et coupe la puissance de la machine, avant que la coupure, la machine se stoppe dans l'axe x (ne bouge plus sur X), sur la visu de l'ecran cela bouge encore et d'un coup au bout de quelques secondes la puissance se coupe, j'imagine que le moteur envoi le signal qu'il n'avance plus, a quoi est du cette erreur ?

merci à vous
 

Found the bug and fixed it, thanks for the report.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

After a little bit testing and understanding i got the output to work

Hello! 

I installed LinuxCNC 2.9.4 on a Dell optiplex 790 PC. I attached a parallel port card to the PCI slot and connected a BOB to it. I attached a single  DM556 driver and a 57BYGH76-8 Nema 23 stepper motor to the X axis following the recommendations for the wiring(attached photos) but the stepper motor is not moving. The motor is powered (it's impossible to turn it by hand when the power supplies are connected). I tried to remove the GPU (Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660) but the stepper is still not working but the OS is running better (before this when I tried to do a Latency Test the OS crashed a several times).
Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Adrian
