Is there any chance to get connected to the LinuxCNC developer in Münster?

 

I have passed on your email address, but he says that he already reached out to you on a German forum?

Right now gcode++ extends g-code by introducing for loops, while/do-while loops, as well as imports (currently working on test cases for the same for the latest LinuxCNC release).

You know that LinuxCNC G-code already has do/while loops?

I am successful and fully transition from my old Parallel Port PC to an I7 Laptop with Riocore! Finally I am able to browse something without waiting forever Thanks Olli! This is great stuff.

I have my
- whb04b-06 Hand wheel operating
- Classic Ladder with RS 485 Modbus working (over an dedicated RS485 USB Dongle)
- Auto squaring Y Axis
- Touch plate/Probe input

It was not terrible, but I feel like I have modified a lot of ini and hal files which were created automatically to make this work. Is there a way that you could add a checkbox or so to ricocore gui to not overwrite the existing config files?

I don't know what the best workflow would be. I think if I want to add another function to the FPGA i I will just do it in a separate folder and flash the FPGA, then add the changed manually to my machine folder ?!?

Look at the files in the sample directory. They should be already part of your installation, but you can also see them here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/nc_files
Look at the lathe_g7* files.

Can't believe I missed it.

OK, there only dif in mine clone was the SPI & FPGA clk pins. Seemed to be very picky regarding that.

Any code in the repo yet ?

Hello.
I have the same question.
After probing i have the Z coordinate value.
I measuring 2 points to align the B axis.
I'm doing it 2 times.
The 2nd measuring if gives a result with equal 2 decimals don't rotate the B axis.
Is there a code for the g-code to get a result in parameter, like in the debug
%.xf = x (0-9) number of decimals?

Good the hear, thanks for update.
The firmware needed an overhaul to get all info in and out anyways.

I found the limit in the software but it wasn't just to increase 16 PDOs to say 32 PDOs.
For the time being I consider 16 PDOs in and 16 PDOs out to be the max the number of PDOs the Ax58100 can handle.
It can be more, but my tests doesn't show that and I find no info in the pretty useless datasheet of the Ax58100.

Where do you see this board being used?
Haven't seen much use for RC servos in linuxcnc.
Is it in robotics maybe?

Exactly, and now I also have an original mesa board with which I was able to create a board file and test the whole thing.

So basically you're supporting Mesa hardware, something I mentioned along time ago, which the Spartan6 hardware I added to the repo basically is, 7c81 ish clone.

8 gb will be fine. SSD whatever you want but mostly I've used from 64gb to 256 gb

8.7 TB free here.

You should be able to install a gitlab at home too. docs.gitlab.com/install/docker/ then you could clone what you want into your trpo

I am getting this right, the W5500 acts as an Ethernet bridge ?

Yes

So this should also work with the 7I90HD in spi mode ?

7I90HD should work with small changes

Or any Mesa SPI firmware (custom) like something I've put together ?

No,
This has nothing to do with the Mesa gateware/firmware; RIO runs on Mesa hardware here.
Mesa gateware does not support W5500 modules.
