I have never written anywhere that I forbid anyone to do anything.
I wrote that modifying Chinese electronics is a bad idea, which is true for several reasons.
Cheap PCBs do not tolerate re-soldering very well, the copper peels off from the substrate, even if something works well immediately after such an operation, there is no guarantee that it will work after a month or a year.
Is there any prohibition against writing about it?

PC817 is a strange chip that works in a strange way.
First of all, it is an analog circuit, not a digital one.
Secondly, the input is controlled by current, not voltage, and the output forces current, not voltage.
In addition, the frequency response strongly depends on the input current, a small current means a small propagation time, but also a small output current.
The chip can work really fast (several dozen kilohertz), but then it may not drive the next stage with a small current.
However, when driven by high current, it may have problems already at a few kHz.
There must always be some compromise, assuming that the designer knew what he was doing and did not assume that if the PC817 withstands 50 mA, 20 will be fine...

Hi All so i have a question
so how do i know if my Ethercat install is successful, I check the Master is active the Slaves are there
I now need to do the HAL files and config xml 
i have this not sure if it is correct
i have 6 servo motors , 

Looking at the drawing, it seems to be missing 1 degree of freedom. Is this intentional? Or am I overlooking something?

No big deal as the guy that sold me my first computer said "a computer is pure MAGIC"

the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5737, 43GTQzi, Bios A07 started out it's life with Windows 8 on it

I'll re type the command lines and again and see what comes up. but not right away

tks again for the help.! I keep trying

Sorry for my poor English – enjoy it; it’s the first and probably the last video in which I’ll try to speak English.

Well, yes, blue is a 3.3V level, as I measured it directly at the FPGA pin

It's more likely the bogus message comes from hal_glib library watching the limits switches without knowing about shared homing use.

There is no such pin. Please always read the documents. type: man motion

I think this is actually a bug in the QtDragon GUI.

Moved to the Qtvcp section so maybe @cmorley picks it up.

If it is, its a new one, I had no problems with a single home/limit switcch. Feel free to review my hal and ini files

What you exactly mean by "downdraft zones" ? I have not yet build the table where the workpiece will sit on.
But the gantry is already existing and here are some pictures of when I received it.


 

Some large commercial tables have a central exhaust duct down the side or up the centre and as the torch passes into a zone, a gate opens and the others close (usually by pneumatics) so the draft is centralised in that particular cutting zone. It is possible to track the torch position and activate the relevant zone with LinuxCNC. The dust is usually filtered and the exchaust ducted outside of the building. I did write a component that did this for another user which triggered a bank of air solenoids.

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a robot. There are some errors, and I want to verify the DH parameters to be sure. What should the axis placements and DH parameters of the robot, whose drawing is below, be?

I'm using Genserkins.

Tommy can you see if this works for you if you get time I want to get a few 2nd opinions and make sure most people can get this to work.

Hey tux once I'm finished I can make you a special version if you want with no special tool stuff. I'm integrating my machines with a lot of extra features that provide the other stuff that you need for production CNC machines like part counter and lots of other stuff.

The dream here is just too give back to linuxcnc a bit. I'm not going to bend over backwards to change things for people am making this for me. But I also am happy to accommodate other workflows where I can. Also I never use gmocappy and probably won't want to put the effort into testing on that too..

Also are you testing on the newest config I made. I just tested that again. And using axis fanuc sim. the .ngc file loads automatically. I'm using 2.10 linuxcnc debian iso. (I actually have never managed to replicate your bug but try this latest one please and see if you can find it. Also I been running parts on the production lathe all week and fixing a couple of bugs I found plus new features. This will probably get refined over the next few months and I'll keep adding updates here when I get time.

Dear Mr @hakan, I want to get your mail address if possible,
mine is emresensoy@gmail.com
