Probe Basic - HAL pins not being created

Category: QtPyVCP

Still can't get halpins to show up, but I used the widget rules to cook up a workaround...

DRO is now sorted.  Red = unhomed, black = homed

Personal preference is not to have anything that can zero out my DRO with one click.  And since I've got a physical 'home-all' button and no need for a 'go-to-zero' function, those could leave the chat, too.

 

I can keep going for now, but I'd still like to figure out the missing hal pins if anyone's got an idea.

I think you will have to do this by editing the hal file

You can use pncconfs "Discover" mode to make it aware of the installed firmware
but I don't think pncconf knows about inm MPG encoders

Looking for config for a lathe?

Category: Turning

Hello, I am trying to convert my lathe to LinuxCNC. I am using a Mesa 7I96 and want to connect two MPGs—one for the X-axis and one for the Z-axis—using the standard inputs. Does anyone happen to have an example configuration they would be willing to share?
Many thanks,
Hans

Bei der Anleitung für pncconf gibt es eine Seite External Controls. Ich komme beim Einrichten von LCNC über pncconf
nicht auf diese Seite. Ich habe übers Terminal die 7i96_inmd.bit auf die Mesakarte geladen. Überschreibt dann pncconf
diese Firmware mit der internen von pcnconf?

Hello,
when I start LCNC, the axisscreen is minimized and i can it manually maximize. In what kind of way its possible
to start Lcnc in Fullscreenmodus?
Thanks

I dont think pncconf fully supports MPGs

To add a MPG encoder to TB3 on a 7I96, you would need to

1. use 7I96 firmware that supports MPG encoders on TB3,
like 7i96_inmd.bit
 
2. Connect the MPG encoder count pin  to motions jog
axis and or joint jog pins, something like:
(for 1 MPG controlling all joints.axis)

net jog-counts  hm2_7i96.0.inm.00.enc0-count 
net jog-counts joint.0.jog-counts axis.x.jog-counts
net jog-counts joint.1.jog-counts axis.y.jog-counts
net jog-counts joint.2.jog-counts axis.z.jog-counts

3. Other MPG setup
 The main MPG code can be taken from other MPG examples plus
pncconf may be able to set some of this up but does not support the
inm MPG encoder inputs, so that would require the above connections
at a minimum

Do "old PCs" still have Parallel ports? :-).
 

Some modern ones do.
There are PCI or PCIe to LPT cards too.
But this does not mean that a given computer is suitable for LinuxCNC because it has LPT port or LPT card.
There are other factors that determine this.

Vielen Dank PCW für deine Antwort. In dem Menu für P3 kann man keine Kanäle für Handräder auswählen, ich komme auch nicht auf die Seite
mit External Controls und kann auch nicht auswählen: Ein Handrad für alle Achsen oder wie bei mir ein Handrad pro Achse? Kann mir da 
jemand helfen?

You can ignore that message, it does not apply to the 7I96 or any current card.
Then when you get to the "Mesa Card 0" page select "7i96-Internal Data" for board name
and "7i96d" for firmware and then press "Accept component Changes"

Search for a true 4 axis Cam

Category: CAD CAM

Hi 

I saw a video here : www.youtube.com/shorts/e60EBb8NXKA
It seems to have a 4 axis machine doing undercuts and true statue carving.
I have extended my LCNC 2.9 version recently with a rotary axis, so now I have X Y Z and A axis. Rotary is parallel to Y.

I am looking for some CAm software like the one used in the video to carve extended arms and horns as done in this video.

Which CAM am I looking at ? The comment in the short video says  powermill, alphacam, UG.

I tried desproto 7.1 and was able to create their venus model perfectly. But when I put a more complex design with statue having extended arms, the CAM seemd to not be able to do it or there was complex setup for the same.

Can someone suggest which CAM has builtin PP and support for linuxcnc for such carvings ?

Cheers
Ritu

Hallo,
ich versuche jetzt die 7I96 mit Pncconf einzurichten. Ich bekomme sinngemäß die Meldung:
Ältere Karten brauchen eine Firmware, keine Firmware gefunden. Pncconf benutzt die
interne Firmware.
Wo bekomme ich die richtige Firmware her? Mit den Steuerungspc komme ich jetzt nicht mehr
ins www, weil die Karte ja am Netzwerkanschluß hängt?
Im voraus vielen Dank
Hans
