Help needed to get my 7i76E + 7i85S + 7i73 on my mill going.

Is there any way to pass the homing routine so I can start testing other functions via MDI?

See linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini-homing.html#_home_search_vel

Set home_search_vel to zero

OK, now Ive got machine homed but................still no MDI, why??




Why is it so hard in LCNC to bypass homing and get access to MDI ?

It looks like you have not homed A axis to me.

NO_FORCE_HOMING=1 to be set in INI TRAJ
Found this on the web searching for this error.
A axis is not implemented yet.

Thanks for chiming in Clive.

While you say Axis A is not yet implemented, you've told LCNC that the axis exists so you I think you will need to home it. Just click on the home all button and see what happens. I homed non-existent axes many times while building my machine.

If you give the A-axis a number in the homing sequence and set the home-search-velocities to zero then it will home immediately, even if there is no actual hardware attached.

This what A have in HAL

#********************
# Axis A
#********************
[AXIS_3]
TYPE = ANGULAR
HOME = 0.0
FERROR = 0.5
MIN_FERROR = 0.05
MAX_VELOCITY = 360.0
MAX_ACCELERATION = 1200.0
# The values below should be 25% larger than MAX_VELOCITY and MAX_ACCELERATION
# If using BACKLASH compensation STEPGEN_MAXACCEL should be 100% larger.
STEPGEN_MAXVEL = 450.00
STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 1500.00
P = 1000.0
I = 0.0
D = 0.0
FF0 = 0.0
FF1 = 1.0
FF2 = 0.0
BIAS = 0.0
DEADBAND = 0.0
MAX_OUTPUT = 0.0
# these are in nanoseconds
DIRSETUP = 1000
DIRHOLD = 1000
STEPLEN = 1000
STEPSPACE = 1000
STEP_SCALE = 200.0
MIN_LIMIT = -9999.0
MAX_LIMIT = 9999.0
HOME_OFFSET = 0.0

No settings for homing sequence and no settings for VEL etc

I have no problems with homing now with NO_FORCE_HOMING=1 in INI Trajectory

But now I have next problem = spindle not working.

Spindle problems.



Relays for M3 Output8 and M4 Output9 are working but obviously there is some connections missing as spinena/spinout/spindir
does not work.

Any hints what to do here?

Are you sure that the relays are working? The colour-codes for the LEDs in Hal-Watch are a bit funny. Red is "False" and yellow is "True"
(I actually thought I had changed that, but can't see any evidence)
