Ok, I found my one mistake. i was trying to compile "5axiskin.c" but it didnt work so after reading more, I found there is "userkins.comp" file need to be compiled. so i edited file as per attachment and getting error as per screenshot.


 

Hey everyone,
Has anyone been successful in configuring an XYYZ setup and would be happy to share their .ini and .hal files, and possibly the EC500 JSON config file (if modified)?

I've reviewed the suggested example files and mine seem to be correct for a dual Y axis motor gantry, but it's not working correctly and I'm chasing my tail trying to figure it out, so time to ask for some help! If possible!

Edit: All good, i got it working with a fair bit of trial and error. 

Are you still stuck? I have some python scripts to load the firmware onto the board using Windows and powershell. Sometimes you need to power cycle the board a few times to validate that it connects.

Pardon my brevity,

Here is detail

I'm trying to compile this kinematics file "5axiskinsN.c" and getting this error

cnc@cnc:~/linuxcnc/configs$ sudo halcompile --install 5axiskinsN.c

In the screenshot of the first post the view is that of the real machine, with x0 y0 at the top right but y moving away becomes negative and if I modify the axis to make it positive, home moves to the left and the backplot is mirrored.

You are looking at the wrong Z.

None of those on the pictures are his.

 I think ArcOK is there.
My reading is 1 and 2 trigger the torch, 3 & 4 should  be ArcOK

Hello,

We created the `toolchanger_index_new` HAL file to map all the M-codes for `toolchange.ngc`; this kept things reasonably organized and allowed us to track what codes like M66 actually do.
Then we built the NGC file.
Once that was done, we integrated everything and added the remap section to the INI file.
When we started LinuxCNC, we got the error message mentioned in the previous post.
We suspect there might be an issue with the file path or something similar.
As soon as we comment out the remap configuration, everything runs without problems again.

The only exception is the `conv-float-32` converter; it used to work, but now LinuxCNC claims it already exists.
That is likely a separate issue and unrelated to the mapping setup mentioned above.

Tom, I tried everything, inverted the home encoder phases and all the possible settings... if I set the correct axis (reversed) everything is fine but the plot is mirrored and home moved to the left outside the frame.

MIN_LIMIT = -380
MAX_LIMIT = 0.01
Wrong for Y axis, should be reversed.
Might also need to change direction and/or homing directions, by adding - in front of the scale and HOME_ values.

Never mind I was able to figure it out.

Here they are, I changed TCL with a modified one but it's not its fault, it does the same with the original one.

hal and ini ?

I've had this CNC with a closed-loop DC servo for a long time, and it works well for both movement and backplot with the home dot at x0 y0 as seen in the photo. The only problem is that it only works well with the y-axis inverted; the y-axis moves away in a negative direction. I decided to set the axis to positive as the x-axis, but the home dot moves to the left, and I haven't found a way to set them in step... basically, the plot moves outside the work area. Could it be that I changed the order of the pwmgens to match x and spindle on a 7i40hv and y and z on another to use two different voltages for the motors?
