Re: [Emc-users] Perceived issues with LinuxCNC.
Rindert, How long ago did you buy your WinCNC machine? I thought that they used some proprietary hardware for step generation. Were you able to use it for your LinuxCNC set up? What type of machine do you have? We have a machine running WinCNC and use G-code on it exclusively. Our set up is on a multi head gang router (4 independent Z axis). This is a relatively simple configuration in WinCNC but would be very difficult to configure in LinuxCNC. What parts of G-code wouldn't work for you in WinCNC? For what we use it for WinCNC is probably slightly better (3D wood carving) because of LinuxCNCs line look ahead limitations. - Original Message - From: RINDERT SCHUTTEN rind...@schuttenworks.com To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 1:09:29 PM Subject: [Emc-users] Perceived issues with LinuxCNC. So I recently got my second CNC machine for my small business. The first machine was a DIY kit, and (obviously) I used EMC on Ubuntu. Got the CD, installed it on my old PC went through the stepconf wizard, and it ran! Since then have created lots of Gcode and products. I said obviously, because being new at CNC, and an open source fan I did not want to spend a lot of up front money. So I use Inkscape (with a Gcode generator extension) for CAD and EMC for machine control. All open source and LOVE the flow I created. Created my own coding standards, and even though Gcode is quite arcane, it is very powerful and EMC's support for it is EXCELLENT. I use parameters, subroutines, conditionals, repeats, etc, so everything I make can easily be scaled, positioned, replicated, all from the Gcode file. Actually, don't know about Mach 3, but the control software that came with my new machine, WinPCNC, even though it said it supported Gcode, could not run my Gcode. Actually their support for Gcode is minimal. For me this meant to get EMC to work with my new machine (relatively easy and straightforward once you have all the parameters of the controller), in order to be able to run everything as I was used to. So I have NO issues with LinuxCNC. On the contrary I am quite happy with it. Granted I do not do very complicated things, only three axis, but I love the way it works, and LOve AXIS as well. That it only runs on Linux is NO problem. Actually it is STABLE ,and I have not experienced a single crash. I appreciate that!

[Emc-users] alternative approach to jog while paused/configurable behaviour
we had a long discussion on IRC yesterday on this theme the gist was that accretion of possibly surprising features with limited applicability in motion is undesirable the state machine and offset pin approach I proposed yesterday are such a case of feature accretion the way out was suggested by Andy, which opens the path to programmable behavior at the UI level with minimal motion changes (pretty much as the code stands). the key observations (and I hadnt thought of this admittedly) are: - it is possible to track the state of activity during jog-while paused in a UI or custom program *) - during pause now jog commands can be issued from a UI or that custom program as well; that was not possible before - meaning it is now possible to activate an optional, customizable UI function on pause, and do any of the following: 1. record positions - initial pause positions, and any further jog locations 2. as alternative to a direct reentry move from a offset location, previous jog locations can be selected as 'goto', or replayed in reverse order doing this in say Python in the UI not only adds flexibility, it does not burden motion complexity with extra states and moves. If one absolutely has to do an automatic move on pause, that is possible in the same scheme, but motion changes are not needed. I would think that gives the best feature mix: keyboard jog can be done pretty much now, whereas more complex setups like record/replay are possible without involving fiddling with motion internals, just plain Python is enough. I would actually think this also works with wheel jogs just the same once that is added. - Michael *) Python example and program output to track jog positions during pause (not necessary to understand in detail - just to show it isnt all that complicated): import time import sys import linuxcnc s = linuxcnc.stat() s.poll() previous_state = s.pause_state names = (RUNNING, PAUSING, PAUSED, PAUSED_IN_OFFSET, JOGGING, JOG_ABORTING, RETURNING, PAUSING_FOR_STEP) while True: s.poll() # get current status values # detect changes in s.pause_state if s.pause_state != previous_state: print names[previous_state], -,names[s.pause_state] if s.pause_state == linuxcnc.PAUSED: print stopped at initial pause position:, s.actual_position if s.pause_state == linuxcnc.PAUSED_IN_OFFSET: print stopped at offset:, s.actual_position previous_state = s.pause_state time.sleep(0.2) --- Example run: Running this in parallel with Axis produces this (# = my remarks): # reaction to pause button RUNNING - PAUSED # motion has stopped, program detects that and displays initial pause position: stopped at initial pause position: (-3.8268308818897636, 0.019685039370078188, -10.157954787401579, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) # incremental jog 0.1in on X axis via keyboard: PAUSED - JOGGING # motion has stopped, we're not at initial pause position anymore: JOGGING - PAUSED_IN_OFFSET stopped at offset: (-3.7268308818897635, 0.019685039370078369, -10.157954787401579, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) # incremental jog 0.1in on Z axis via keyboard: PAUSED_IN_OFFSET - JOGGING # jog stopped: JOGGING - PAUSED_IN_OFFSET stopped at offset: (-3.7268308818898732, 0.019685039370109226, -10.05795548036826, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) # resume hit - automatic return to initial pause position begins: PAUSED_IN_OFFSET - RETURNING # arrived at initial pause position - program execution resumes: RETURNING - RUNNING -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Re: [Emc-users] JogWhilePaused Proposal - please review planned sequencing
On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 2:02 PM, Michael Haberler mai...@mah.priv.at wrote:
please think through if this sequence sounds generally applicable, and
consider my questions below.
the current flow I am thinking of is this:
pause sequence:
-
if running, and pause command is issued:
save the position where pause was detected as initial-pause-position
('IPP')
By saying IPP you imply there is more than one pause position. This would
be a good thing. If LCNC is going to offer this capability then while you
are in there mucking around go all the way.
ex - back trepanning with a boring bar in a bore
One pause position would not be sufficient to return.
Three would be a minimum and four would be better.
Why limit it to 1 or 4?
This would work nicely with the feed override and rapid override on two
pins.
Rapid override would be used until arrival at the last return segment.
Feed feedrate would be used for the last return segment.
Although, this should be integrator optioned.
Why restrict the reading/setting/use of Tool Length Offsets to tool change
operations? Reading TLO's every line would allow minor changes while the
program is running. The operator would make an offset adjustment to be
applied at the end of the current line running in the program.
if the pause-offset 1) is non-zero:
jog to that offset, using a jog-velocity pin 2)
stop motion once there
else
just stop motion
... jogging around...
resume sequence:
if at the inital pause position:
wait for at-speed
resume motion
else # in some offset
if the pause-offset is non-zero and not currently at the offset
position:
issue a jog move to the pause offset at jog velocity 2)
once arrived, wait for spindle at-speed 3)
issue the reentry move to the IPP at jog velocity 2)
else
# we are already at the offset position
wait for spindle at-speed
issue the reentry move to the IPP at jog velocity 2)
if arrived at IPP:
resume primary motion queue, program continues.
During the all pause states (except normal state - program running, not
paused) coolant and spindle NML commands will be honored.
--
1) defined by a set of motion.pause-offset-x/y/z etc pins
2) currently NML jog commands needing velocity carry it as a parameter;
afaict there is no concept of 'current jog speed' in motion without a jog
command issued. But this move happens without an NML command conveying
values, so motion has no idea what the 'current jog speed' is. Short term
fix: use a pin motion.offset-jog-speed which applies to the initial offset
move, and the reentry move. Better long-term solution: make motion remember
whatever is 'current jog speed', e.g. by issuing an EMC_JOG_SPEED command
at startup and jog speed change in a UI.
3) doing it in this order (start jog, wait for at-speed when done) enables
overlapped spin up and move to the offset position by issuing spindle on,
then resume
Question 1: is there any use case for the offset used while pausing, and
while returning _to be different_?
Assuming the offset you are talking about is the IPP then I can see a case
for a little different approach in return. Sometimes a broken tool will
require a modified reentry to remove material deposited or hardened as the
result of the broken tool.
Multiple pause positions and feed control would allow fine control of the
reentry process.
this would suggest two sets of HAL pins, pause-offset-x etc and
return-offset-x etc. Note either of those being zero would avoid the
predefined move-on-pause
and move-on-return respectively.
Having one set of pins implies that both moves will always be issued if
non-zero. The alternative is some mode pin which states which of the
moves (on-pause, on-return, or both) is to use the pause offset (less
elegant, less pins).
Question 2: is there any scenario where the wait-for-at-speed needs to be
skipped?
(note motion.at-speed can be faked by external HAL logic if needed).
Shouldn't all conditions controllable by HAL be the only control option?
Question 3: coolant, spindle, keyboard jog (+ eventually wheel jog):
anything to be added to the shopping list?
Resetting TLO's is major at this time. Stopping to clean chips is fine but
changing the tool requiring an offset adjustment is very important.
Question 4: is a separate HAL pin for the on-pause/on-return speed
acceptable for the first round?
Question 5: any possible interactions with other commands/modes which
could be an issue?
TLO's
this is a nontrivial change, so I would prefer the change is specified,
discussed and understood fully beforehand
I attach the description of the various states the pause handling goes
through which might help to clarify operation a bit
thanks,
- Michael

But I'm getting some strange things going on that I just can't seem to fix. Such as, setting an axis to 0, then in MDI sending it to 1, it might come up .0015 short of 1, but when I send it back to 0 it will come back to that point just fine. Does the .0015 short of 1 repeat every time? This would need to be checked on the same section of the ballscrew to help determine the cause. I understand the basics of the backlash setting but there's got to be something else that I'm missing or just plain don't understand. Or if I set the increments to .010 it might go .0105 or .011, but then go back to 0 just fine. When you set increments and then move 1 inch do you see the same .0015 error as you previously describe? I've been using EMC for about 5 years now and I've always been plagued with these kind of problems. But no matter how much I read the manual I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? Just when I think I've got it I don't. I would really appreciate any help that anyone might be able to provide that will help me better understand the settings in the .ini file and what I'm doing wrong. Since you say the return to zero is consistent I would then consider the backlash setting is correct. This is assuming the motion to 1 inch and the return motion are opposite directions.

Can you please provide direct link to joints_axes3 branch where I can find those configs etc...? Thank you. in joints_axes3 branch take a look at axis/sim_mm config. changes are: required [KINS]JOINTS setting separate [AXIS_X] [AXIS_Y] sections and [JOINT_n] sections in hal file all axis.n. pins changed to joint.n Ok, before I do this I should ask if after switching to ja3, do I need to do any modifications in my ini/hal file and also kinematics (I'm using 5axiskins)? -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Re: [Emc-users] Perceived issues with LinuxCNC.
Todd, Actually I have Win-PCNC USB (http://www.cnc-router-routers.com/html/software_win_cnc_router_routin.html) as the controller software (in addition to LinuxCNC) and run it with a Zero 3 controller on a CNC-STEP HighZ 720 CNC machine.Win-PCNC does not support parameters, flow control and many other G codes, that I rely on. WinCNC is a different software which I don't know.

I thought that they used some proprietary hardware for step generation. Were you able to use it for your LinuxCNC set up? What type of machine do you have? We have a machine running WinCNC and use G-code on it exclusively. Our set up is on a multi head gang router (4 independent Z axis). This is a relatively simple configuration in WinCNC but would be very difficult to configure in LinuxCNC. What parts of G-code wouldn't work for you in WinCNC? For what we use it for WinCNC is probably slightly better (3D wood carving) because of LinuxCNCs line look ahead limitations. - Original Message - From: RINDERT SCHUTTEN rind...@schuttenworks.com To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 1:09:29 PM Subject: [Emc-users] Perceived issues with LinuxCNC. So I recently got my second CNC machine for my small business. The first machine was a DIY kit, and (obviously) I used EMC on Ubuntu. Got the CD, installed it on my old PC went through the stepconf wizard, and it ran! Since then have created lots of Gcode and products. I said obviously, because being new at CNC, and an open source fan I did not want to spend a lot of up front money. So I use Inkscape (with a Gcode generator extension) for CAD and EMC for machine control. All open source and LOVE the flow I created. Created my own coding standards, and even though Gcode is quite arcane, it is very powerful and EMC's support for it is EXCELLENT. I use parameters, subroutines, conditionals, repeats, etc, so everything I make can easily be scaled, positioned, replicated, all from the Gcode file. Actually, don't know about Mach 3, but the control software that came with my new machine, WinPCNC, even though it said it supported Gcode, could not run my Gcode. Actually their support for Gcode is minimal. For me this meant to get EMC to work with my new machine (relatively easy and straightforward once you have all the parameters of the controller), in order to be able to run everything as I was used to. So I have NO issues with LinuxCNC. On the contrary I am quite happy with it. Granted I do not do very complicated things, only three axis, but I love the way it works, and LOve AXIS as well. That it only runs on Linux is NO problem. Actually it is STABLE ,and I have not experienced a single crash. I appreciate that!

I didn't end up using it for my Mill CNC project as I couldn't find any concise documentation on how you actually connected the BBB to motors and switches (I'm a programmer of business systems by trade and know naff all about CNC or electronics). Did I need a cape? Could I just connect to conventional drivers like a parallel port? Do I need to solder wires on or is there a screw type connector that fits the sockets? It wasn't obvious. The Bone has 3.3 V outputs, and they are not capable of high current. You don't need a commercial cape, but a booster/level translator would be a good thing. For stepper drives, putting a 74HC240 or similar driver chip powered from the 5 V supply to the Bone would be a good thing. (Make sure only the inputs to the HC240 are connected to the Bone's header.) Then, you could drive typical stepper driver inputs from the output of the HC240. I built a similar contraption for a different purpose and just plugged it into the P8 header of the Bone.

Re: [Emc-users] BBB LinuxCNC.
Careful...this is not a PC parallel port. At the moment, there is no software to talk to anything like a Mesa 7143 via an emulated EPP port via the BeagleBone. That doesn't mean I wouldn't _like_ to see something like this. I actually have plans to do this at some point, but it will almost certainly require a different pinout and a different circuit board. The step/dir GPIO pins can be pretty much randomly assigned to any free pin, but implementing an emulated EPP interafce to talk to smart hardware requires a bit more planning.

Re: [Emc-users] TB6600 Single Axis stepper board
Hi, You need to make sure that they are using brand new (October 2013 or later is when the Toshiba engineer told me the new design would be ready) TB6600 chips. I found an error with the timing on the older version chips (pwm at zero crossing). They had to recall all of the chips. I ended up sending several thousand chips back. Fortunately I found the problem right before I was ready to ship any product. It is an very intermittent problem and only shows up in very limited circumstances. You might be able to use it for something like a pump, but don't use it for motion control where position is crucial.
