You could always choose not to run them.
Or you could run them when not machining a part.
Why is it when I hear the word "maker" I envisage some hipster with soft hands, a man bun and a manicured beard ?

I know, cos I'm a cranky old bastard who's one step away from yelling at clouds, I've already got the yelling at tv and birds covered.

Thank you so much! I will certainly give it a try. I have been monitoring your github page for quite a while in anticipation of your great work, so this is big news!

As for Clear Linux, I believe they finally got it working on their distro, but made it part their maker-cnc bundle, which includes programs like inkscape and OpenSCAD, which are great apps but should not run on a machine controller. They do not seem to fully understand the LinuxCNC ecosystem, so I have already lowered my expectation (or should I say hopes?).

Take care rodw. that kind of weather is no joke. hopefully damage will be minor. Prep for the worst, hope for the best.

Yes, I have checked them over and over, so may have developed a blindness.

I have my rapid plus and minus buttons connected to the scale inputs.
the input pin for each one goes yellow when pressed.
axis.L.jog-scale is zero when no buttons pressed, and 1e5 for left button and 1e6 when right button is held in.
axis.L.jog-enable each of the three axes lights go yellow when the appropriate button is pressed
axis.L.jog-counts large numbers go up and down on all three axes as the wheel is turned

I was going to suggest a pull request to github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat
That way it will find its way into the Debs for all to use....

Of course we are interested! Please share.

 

jogging operation is independent of the type of motors used. Have you actually confirmed in halshow that these pins are set correctly?

axis.L.jog-scale
axis.L.jog-enable
axis.L.jog-counts

Hallo, Mesa bietet das 7i76eu als Ersatz für das normale an.
store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...83_85&product_id=399

Kann ich es genauso verwenden wie das normale 7i76?

vielen Dank im Voraus

I suggest you contact Treotham. They will be in VIC. Call them

For stepper wiring on a couple of machines I have used ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 400 CP 4X0.75 from them
Then had to get it in from overseas but it didn't take long.They will have other options.
This was rated for drag chain use and actually has two layers of plastic sheath as well as the shielding.
To get wires up on the gantry, I use DB9 breakout boards and you can get premade cables from www.lindy.com.au/. These are pretty light weight but sure beats soldering up your own.
The rest of the (unshielded) cabling I mostly use Jaycar hookup wire with bootlace ferrules. You can  get a kit with the crimper and ferrules from eBay. The Jaycar wire is a bit light but it works...
 

Just for the record the machine is homed, but actively changing axis.x.jog-counts moves nothing.
Are the published the mpg hals I have adopted for stepper motor systems, and not appropriate for my DC servo system?

Note that ' s-output => spindle.0.on' does not make much sense in the context of the hal sections posted above as 's-output' is a float signal and 'spindle.0.on' is a digital out pin.

Looks like you are actually missing the input to enable the stepgen.

So in the spindle section of your hal file change this line:
to this

Tried to follow how this works in the onCircular function.
Three lines down there is a test with 0.2 mm line 452. That fails for this circle.
Then ends up doing a new circle line 476, which is the one that isn't really right.
I don't understand this with merging circles but I guess it has something to do with that.
Edit: In the fusion simulation of the tool path it is clear that a circle is made up of several circle segments, which is then supposed to be assembled to a full circle in the post-processor. Guess something went wrong with the assembly.

Hi, there,  I am trying to follow step in this thread to set up stepper as a spindle. But the spindle stepper is not turning. I have tried to add this line as you mentioned. The LinuxCNC has a  problem with s-output  => spindle.0.on. Do you have any idea what I should have fix or add to hal in order to work properly. Thank you very much in advance.
