happy to help! for what you are trying to do it shouldn't be too difficult. really you just need to map out the motion you will want the tool to make in relation to your tool setter, and build out that code in gcode so you know what it looks like and add in the probing motion where G1 would normally go, then review the rest of the probing routines to see what to do with the probed points captured during motion and write up a small equation to calculate the tools diameter and send it to the tool table diameter column. this is all information available in the docs in the gcodes section.

Hi,

  Is someone actively developing MTConnect support? If someone is working on this, maybe I could join the effort?  My goal would be to establish MTConnect similar to Haas, and perhaps also the MDC support for Q commands. 

P.S. Some of you might remember my previous project: installing LinuxCNC on a Cincinnati 10HC2500 HMC.

Apologies for Clumsy writing on my part,
I understand the issue and thanks for the clarification Tommy.

Plan is for a closed loop system
Used the pncconf only havent changed anything yet

So far its working now the rest ill have to do by testing 
Thanks for the help again

i have tied 3 times but i now think some of my faults are regarding www.forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linu...cnc-in-november-2025
and so

That link says modbus. also the price is more than 3 full ethercat ac servo kits.

But still neat.

I'm 4200km from vancouver.

Are you intending on using encoder feedback?

If not (and this is an open loop step/dir system), you should not connect
the encoder pins (  like hm2_7i95.0.encoder.00.position ) to the axis feedback
signals (like x-pos-fb )

And vice versa, if you ARE intending to use encoder feedback, you should not connect
the steogen pins (  like hm2_7i95.0.stepgen.00.position ) to the axis feedback
signals (like x-pos-fb )

 

Thanks Andy, I'll go hunting for that missing connection and report back.

ok that worked.
But it gives me a different error now, i do understand what it wants from me but thats it (total beginner here Sorry)

Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
./Sindre_Mill.hal:86: Signal 'x-pos-fb' can not add OUT pin 'hm2_7i95.0.encoder.00.position', it already has OUT pin 'hm2_7i95.0.stepgen.00.position-fb'

File is attached
if there is any other file you kneed let me know
Thanks

I posted it ti the gethub, hopefully they can help me get this thing going..

I asume like this ?
