So my efforts to find why its not now getting to the 5i25's gpio.003.in_not from pin 15 on the bob will continue, starting with a good cable shake (its a shop made cable based on idc connectors on both ends) once I get up on the ladder to reach it comfortably later this morning.
This is all up on a sturdy shelf about 6 feet up in the air. And I've got another 80 feet of the cable and bags of those idc connectors. I was too tired to continue any farther as I had been on my feet, standing in front of TLM all day, carving the flanges and center thru holes on the makings of 4 of these bellows nipples, when I found the the contact was getting to the bob's pin 15 but not showing at hm2_5i25.0.gpio.003.in_not on a halmeter. That leaves the bob, the cable, and the 5i25, which has been replaced once already to fix this same problem early last spring. That narrows the area to search. I have another bob too, but its a PITA because its IO is labeled for use with mach and its a chore to trace thru the docs and find the io pins by pin number. There are several ways to skin this cat, I just need to expend the giddyup to do it. :) Thanks Gregg. > From: Gene Heskett <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, October 7, 2016 7:33 AM > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] pressure equalizer method around ball nut > > Film at 11, but day unknown. :) When I get the other two thru holes > bored, I think next is an insulated probe so I can find the exact > center of the thru holes on the mill.
