Definitely a better solution but I doubt time will alow for it now. 

I do think it is worth doing though, so I think i will set up a pc and ask a friend who is better skilled than me in terms of programming to have a look

Thanks Andy

Hi. Thank you for the support. 

I need to commect some io boards so i need at least 2 smart serial channels.

of the 8 available ports on the 7i94, can you provide uarts on 4 of them please?

Much apreceated

did you run that through an AI to generate stuff?

I finally managed to sort it out and update my .ui file to GTK+3. I wish there was a better guide for the various LinuxCNC-specific components and the migration necessary.

I would not, unless it is really required.

Ahh, I missed that

As far as the spindle speed changing goes, it would probably be helpful to
disable the PID/feedback, in case there's something odd going on there.

Disable the feedback by setting all PID terms to 0 except FF0 so the
PID component is just a pass through.


Another thing for debugging would be to dump all the hal pins when
things are working correctly and when misbehaving:

halcmd show all > ok.txt

halcmd show all > bad.txt

and post the results here.
 

Yes that beautiful thing has been moved around to different places and has grooved well over 10,000 pairs of drumsticks (200k+ in gross sales) in nine years with no issues. Never had a problem with the software or anything until just recently. I know it’s an old version but it’s always worked. It’s just having a few issues. I may need to just upgrade the whole thing and start from square one.

Has it ever worked?
Why LinuxCNC 2.5? That's really rather old.

Can you post your hal/ini files?

Might help with more eyes looking at them

 

I found some configs posted earlier in the thread: forum.linuxcnc.org/26-turning/52640-old-...-cnc?start=60#326830

Thanks rodw, I will add that note in with my install disk. And also Thank you to all the LinuxCNC devs that
continue to make LinuxCNC possible.

Made the first toolchanges today!
Altough, taking a tool from the ATC is not yet working optimally.

I was customizing the M21 and M22 subroutines to get it working, but in the end found ''toolchange.ngc' which is also playing a part.
I probably need to add some movements specific to my atc to toolchange.ngc instead of to the M22 subroutine.





Other than that pretty happy it's doing its job!

When this feature was developed, the feeling was the pierce delay should still be used. Does it work for you if you try it?

I forgot to mention Stefan (who's forum name escapes me ATM) was the chief tester on this and he cut countless full sheets of 16mm into small parts without needing to reset the pierce delay.

thank you very much! now all I have to do is run the stepper and I can gain some experience with linuxcnc.

In the ini file the HOME_SEQUENCE determines the home order on a home all. If two axes have the same sequence, they will home together. The exception is joint axes on a gantry which must home seperately.
