Are you sure you are running LinuxCNC?, I've never heard of MEM mode.

Thanks Chris.

Again, does the machine move at G0 speeds or just the gcode preview on LinuxCNC screen?

 

MEM refers to Memory Mode. This is where you select a program from the machine's internal memory and press CYCLE START button to run it automatically. 

Again? You never asked a question before this, so how is this "AGAIN"?
Ponder this: If "just the gocde preview on the LinuxCNC screen" is the only thing moving, how could it crash if I had a part in there....
Look, if you are not going to read what I posted where I clearly described what happened, there's little reason to continue this conversation. 
 

Just a guess, but I think your screw compensation table is backwards:

"Compensation files must start with the smallest nominal and be in ascending order to the largest value of nominals"


 

Also of note the units in the RTL File are um so .001mm. Pass 1 is -5 to -170 and Pass 2 is -170 to -5.

The .zip is a zipped .xls file.

 
 

I'm trying to axis comp a machine with a Renishaw ML10 Interferometer. Unfortunately no matter what comp type or file formatting I can come up with I cannot get the system to take effect. The machine is repeating +/- .001mm on every step of the run.

I've been working on this for days and had no luck. I also can't get any feedback from HALSHOW that mentions it in effect or a component related to compensation. My understanding this a rolling backlash table to linuxcnc, hower the values never change. The man pages are extremely sparse, but strait forward. Name a file, stuff it with (Target)  (POS Move) (Neg Move) and select a type 0 or 1.

Please help! I offer cookies of all types.

Umm what you mean ?

I am trying to learn how to set this up, so please do not take my comments as "expertise".

Have you checked the MUX2 select pin to see if it is switching when you  start the orient routine?
I would think that you should start with the same pid  parameters  that are used in the "Spindle PID Parameter" int the Orientation section, then work from there.

Hi Scotta!

This is the error we get:

"command (EMC_JOG_CONT) cannot be executed until the machine is out of E-stop and turned on"

but when we disconnect the E-stop it recognizes that it is connected, we also sometimes get the Joint X following error.

Can you post your hal and ini files?
 

Hello everyone,
I am also trying to connect the Mesa7i96s card to a Y620-A VFD.
I connected the pins as mentioned in the post above
22 - SPINDLE- to COM
23 - SPINDLE OUT to AI1
24 - SPINDLE+ to +10 V
S1 --> OUT4A
OUT4B --> COM
S2 --> OUT5A
OUT5B --> COM
The M3, M4 and M5 commands work, but I can't control the speed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Milko

Great to hear you are making progress.

No need for the SPI_clk_div=32 in the loadrt command line, that is for the RPi4/3.

What fault / error is generated when the machine stops? I've still got the Octopus and RPi setup on the bench, will look to try your config again over the weekend.

Today, after updates, i am not able to start any flexgui ui .  Error: No module named 'psutil'
