Hello all

I recently briefly mentioned my EL5021 modifications in my Maho MH400E retrofit discussion. Due to three additional terminals requiring the same modification, I decided to write a guide on how to modify the Beckhoff EL5021 encoder input terminal for both 1 V_pp as well as 11 µA_pp signals (and in theory TTL signals too - untested).

For anybody who's interested, the detailed guide can be found over on GitHub:
github.com/PedPEx/EL5021_multi-signal-mod

A video of a modified EL5021 reading 11 µA_pp signals from a Heidenhain LS403 linear glass scale is also available on YouTube:


If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to open an issue, reply here, or write me an email.

Tak jak w temacie mam uciety widok AXIS , brak napisu narzędzia jak to naprawić w linuxcnc 2.9..8.  
 

Now it is running, i made ini and hal with Ki.
When running a toolpath in Vismach simulation it shows perfect but the machine makes strange things.
In fact I have not reaaly a plan what setting i need in Linux for 5 Axis...
Scale is correct

you did it master rod , it was hard , congratulations and thank you

I heavily leaned on Cursor (an IDE with integrated LLM) to setup my recent ethercat build. For best results, feed your LLMs documentation and examples. And keep requests to small, easily testable bites. And for sure learn version control through Git. My repo can be found here for reference: github.com/jayem1427/lemontart_lcnc_config

zack sorry for the delay, I just tried it, but it's definitely not for small screens, not just axix2 but any, only for repetitive operations on machines where it's not that important....the letters in the preview are unreadable, the rest are large. thanks
 

Hi
danke erstmal fürs melden
mein problem ist hab alles durch was geht, von der hal datei bis zum messen vom Lpt kabel, die motoren funktionier einwandfrei und laut karte ist relais auf pin 17 , wenn ich pin 17 inventiere schaltet das relais beim starten von programm ein das heist irgent was passiert ja , aber mit M3 (plasma On) passiert nix mehr , egal ob invertiert oder nicht oder auch andere pins 16,15

Thanks. Looks like it's working now.

Glad to hear you got ethercat up and running. Rodw's post was the key for me, getting into ethercat as well.
Read the manuals, I +1 that image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png.
I don't understand what connection VS Code would have with LinuxCNC. I take it, you just used it as a tool in combination with ai?

(edit) I just dug deeper now and discovered VS Code is an IDE + text editor, not a programming language. After all these years! Shows how little I know about Microsoft products. I only have VS Code installed because it was listed as a dependency for an open source project I'm using image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/unsure.png.

Ai is a great help in many ways. However, it does not seem to understand LinuxCNC as well as many other software packages. Beginners will fare much better with ai in combination with LinuxCNC if they take the time to read the manuals. I have noticed if I upload revelent man pages or other supporting files with my ai queries, it gets much farther.

Hallo,
leider keine Spannung.,
Kann ich die Maschine auch ohne Endschalter betreiben.
Eine neue parallele karte von Letmathe gibt es nicht mehr.
Ich habe noch eine gleiche karte, da funktionierten die x y z Achsen nicht
mehr. Leider fehlt mir das Grundwissen in dem elektronischen Bereich,
um Bauteile von der alten Karte für die Endschalter zu verwenden.
Da ich trotz einiger Schwierigkeiten , aber mit Deiner Hilfe probe basic installieren konnte, habe ich einige sehr schöne Teile fräsen können.
Schade wenn das nicht mehr ginge. Vielen Dank noch mal für Deine gute
Unterstützung.. Da ich auf die 80 zugehe habe ich meinen Geist fit
halten können.

viele Grüße karlhe

Hallo,

I found a loose screw rolling around behind the computer’s motherboard and the case☠️

I will try this computer again on a different machine.
