Homemade CNC Plasma - hypertherm, Mesa, gear drives, nema 34.

Networking not set???
What does
ip a
return?

sorry guys,

I'm not sure what i'm doing at the moment. Feel like a lost sheep.

Anyway.



When i get in, this is what i see, note the plank page where there should be a drawing.

I can't get the estop to unload to engage power.

Where should I start from? wipe everything and try reloading it all again?

 

OK.

Wasn't sure about a real time kernal, so check and have "6.1.0-28-rt-amd64".

Have uninstalled all traces of LinuxCNC, and now using the synaptic package manager, have loaded the latest linuxcnc versions.

Start up pnfcof with the mesa 7i96, everything worked.

Still having the same issue. estop is red, cant be unclicked.
Cant select power. left hand side of the screen is blank/glitchy.

Any ideas??
 

So after a few battles, i finally have the mesa board talking to LinuxCNC. I have movement. I have proximity sensors all connected and working. I have coded HAL to get the right distance traveled.

Still to go - laser pointer, z axis, air scribe, water table & tank, paint, clean out shed, concrete for shed floor to hold it.

I still have a glitch in the screen that shows what is being cut, and i get no preview of what i load,
 

Stuck with joint errors

thinking the 12v field power isnt enough......
