Yeah, the spindle button can work fine! Press it once it starts. press it again, it stops

This is what I did in my .hal file:

Code:

#SPINDLE button
addf and2.0 servo-thread
addf and2.1 servo-thread
addf not.0    servo-thread

net spindleOn                 halui.spindle.is-on            not.0.in and2.1.in1
net spindleXHCButton    edge.1.out                         and2.0.in0 and2.1.in0
net spindleOnB              not.0.out                            and2.0.in1
net spindleTurnOn         halui.spindle.start             and2.0.out
net spindleTurnOff         halui.spindle.stop              and2.1.out

The MPG and RF link and LinuxCNC polling loop already perform suitable debouncing. There will be only one edge per button press. And the spindle.is-on won't be true until at least one polling cycle after halui.spindle.start is strobed.

Hi Danny -thanks for the quick response but I still can't get this to function as expected - the spindle now seems to start when the program starts but the spindle button on the pendant does nothing - nor does the button on the Axis GUI. I will have another play with Hal Command when I get a chance to get to the workshop to see what it thinks is connected where.

I tried it in my postgui.hal file (and put loadrt and2 count=2 , loadrt not count=1, loadrt edge count=1 into my custom.hal.) Is that correct or should it go in my main hal file?

Gasman:
untill you have everything working in axis , then it wont work
you should be able to stop and start the spindle from axis , after you have homed ,
this would suggest either the spindle output is not as you think it is , so what interface are you using ? vfd etc
and how do you have this wired

also it may help posting your full config as an archive to you post so it can be checked

Now got it working thanks - can toggle on/off the spindle, mist and flood as well as use the Mode button to switch between manual and MDI. My problem was I had forgotten that I had changed some things in the main hal file for my machine whilst i was trying to get this working in in sim on my laptop. Now all fixed. Just working on adding a camera next..

hello!

I have created my config with stepconf wizard and hb04 does not start
It shows me errors with conflicts.
Is safe to comment lines that cause the conflict in my main hal generated by stepconf wizard ?
these are the lines that cause conflict

Code:

net spindle-cmd-rps-abs <= motion.spindle-speed-out-rps-abs
net probe-in => motion.probe-input

Code:

It is safe, but the lines in question almost certainly had a purpose.

You will need to look at the two files and work out what is required to achieve the desired effect.
For example, consider two files that collectively contain

Code:

net probe-input motion.probe-in
net probe-input  parport.0.pin-00-in
...
net input-probe motion.probe-in 
net input-probe parport.0.pin-0-in

Then this following will not cause an error, but neither will it work:

Code:

#net probe-input motion.probe-in
net probe-input  parport.0.pin-00-in
...
net input-probe motion.probe-in 
#net input-probe parport.0.pin-0-in

xhc-hb04 works ok in simulation but in machine iam testing it i get

Code:

joint 2 following error

when i jog Z axis after a while and linuxcnc stops
if i jog from gui Z axis everything works ok
Jogging X & Y axes working from hb04

How can i fix this problem ?

here someone else have similar problem
sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/message/34193513/
----
The problem was the big mpg accelration.
I made this change and now works fine..

Code:

#mpg_accels = 50 50 500 600
mpg_accels = 50 50 50

Hello ,
I bought by mistake this remote HB03
Can you work with LinuxCNC?
