Same here, especially now that i know you were the one doing huge moral support when i built my second shop.

I've got a press retrofit in progress and this sounds great.  I've got quite a bit of work to do hardware wise, but I'd be happy to test when I get things moving.

And then knowing the ratio between "dangerous half knowledge" and "expertise" for a fact makes it even scarier.
Suddenly your own work hypothesis becomes a fact and "best expert advise" one can find on the internet.
 

I will try changing SPI cable with LAN cable. Which might work better in shielding external interference.

I have already tried STM32F4xx-PIO and STM32H7xx-PIO branches. H7xx works ok on SKR3 board.
But F4xx branch is not working with tmc5160 but working in step/dir mode. I have tested ben-jacobson branch github.com/ben-jacobson/Remora-STM32F4xx-PIO.git who is orginal developer of F4xx branch. I have posted issue on GIT about this but didnt got reply. Didnt tested remora-cnc branch which 28 commits less than ben's branch. and since it was forked out of ben's branch so didnt thought that it will work on remora-cnc branch.

for configuring tmc5160 via spi I have to change jumpers on board for SPI. Other option is, I should remain board jumpers in step/dir mode and run external spi wires connected to stepsticks (daisy chain) to RPI, which will make really mess.

All I can offer is to delete your user profile.

It is normal, that a HD doesnt have the exact 50 to 1 ratio. This is just a "rounded" number.

It depends on the "gears" and normally a 100 to 1 for example is 101 to 1. This is because the drive axis rotates in the opposite direction of the driven axis. So the difference is always +1

But if you made something in flexGUI, it's probably not that hard to re-imagine it in Gladevcp or Qtvcp afterwards.
 

That is wonderful news. I am familiar with Gladevcp. I was reading lately how glade is outdated and Qt5/6 related is the way to go. I had made up my mind this is the project where I'll learn flexGUI. My enthusiasm failed me after I dived into it yesterday. I will happily continue with Gladevcp. I will learn FlexGUI eventually, but not in time for this project.

I have no experience with this particular issue and have never used linux cnc for milling/turning but I found Cursor a extremely valuable program for making custom software that operates with linux cnc. It still takes a ton of time and hassle but is still faster then becoming a expert in programing. Very likely is possible to modify dragon qt to have the features that you would like.

OK, lathe, so not my strong suite, so:
First, i am pretty sure it is doable, i am also pretty sure some of the forum users did manage to make this work fine and never bothered to report back on how they did it, and there are some with mixed success still active here.
Second, probably yes but never actually did that, although i would not mix manual and auto modes as inadvertently humans will mix those modes and on big machine that is always expensive.
As for turret/no turret pin, again most probably yes with some hal wizardry, might be quite easy i think.
Any way you look at it, almost anything within reason should be doable, although it is much easier to have 2 separate configs (not installations, just a config folder) and switch between them. I would like to insist on making this work first, then make another config for mixing and testing mixed mode.

Hello, when I start LinuxCNC in the terminal and an axis of the machine moves, I get the following lines in the terminal:

3.446259842519685, 6.10236220472441, 6.399631496062992, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [3.302834645669291, 2.6091732283464566, 6.399631496062992, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0

Does anyone know how I can disable this?

Sorry, but i forgot what your plans were, so i will have to go back and read again.
Way to busy lately...

@mobiusToast
Did you have any issues with the Drives sometimes not homing at all? Or them jumping at the end of the home procedure with ER87?

I think Wikipedia will explain balanced signal better than me:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_line . I made a small pcb that uses DS90LV/DS90LT line transceiver to turn the SPI into a balanced signal, and one at the end of the line that turn it back to an TTL SPI signal.

For the TMC5160, if you use the Remora-STM32F4xx-PIO or Remora-STM32H7xx-PIO, you'll have the possibility to configure your drivers via SPI. If you prefer to use my library, it would benefit from some changes; mainly removing the read/write functions that aren't needed and just make a configure and status check function. But you could try to use it without changes for a test, as the driver won't accept any SPI command related to internal ramp if the SPI mode isn't activated by a jumper on your board.

The host address of 10.10.10.11 is fine, it must be different than the FPGA card
(but in the same subnet)

A failed HM2 registration usually means dropped packets, so there is something marginal
with the Ethernet connection.

What does:

sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -c 60000 -q 10.10.10.10

report?

[EMCMOT]
EMCMOT = motmod
COMM_TIMEOUT = 1.0
BASE_PERIOD = 46872
SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000

Your base period is set at 46872, strange for sure, but i am pretty sure LinuxCNC will round it to something divisible from 1000000. Set it to 50000.
