Hi, new user with a 6i25 trying to get off the ground floor. I've loaded
firmware 5abobx2, then run through pncconf. However, when I get to the
motor tuning section for an axis I don't see any obvious output on the
external parallel port alike connector? I'm using a meter (which has a

Emc-
Thanks.
I will have a look at that when I'm back at work Monday.
On our machine, we do a lot of worm gear wheels, mostly just feeding
radially in with a purpose made hob.
Some bigger hobs are made for tangential feeding. To do this, you need to
set up a similar synchronisation between that axis

I have found two ways round this. The first way is using a mux
component to latch the position at which the change happened, which is
described on my page on the w

Some time ago I realised that a spindle encoder allows LinuxCNC to do
gear-hobbing. (And I made a video which now has 200,000 views, so
there is clearly some interest in the subject)
At that time I linked the output of some HAL logic direct to the
stepgen of the rotary axis.
In a later iteration I
It is pretty easy to hook I/O to linuxcnc.. We have used opto22 24 I/O
panels which connect directly to mesa 50 pin connectors. Something like
the 7i69 gives you a realtime smart serial connection to the mesa host and
48 I/O.

This is a link to the tool change component I wrote for the Enshu.

The matrix moves the pot into position.
The tool matrix is hydraulic and air
My answer is it depends.
If you already have I/O that you can use, and you can do the logic in
Classic Ladder or a component, then that will work.
If you need to add high current I/O or need 120 or 220 volt AC I/O then
you might as well buy a cheap PLC. The Click PLC with the Modbus TCP

No, all it does is manage the carousel rotation when passed a pocket number.
One way to manage the other motions and check the “in-position” swi
It really depends on what you are familiar with. If you have a classic
ladder back ground - it might be an easy way for you to create the logic
you need. It is just another tool.
On the K&T the tool arm and chain is done in classic ladder. The gear
shifting and spindle index is done in a comp.
Hey Andy
my mill doesn't need any toolchanging movement once the z axis gets to the
toolchange height. the toolchanger has a arm that drops down and swaps the
tools, It is quite a new mill with a 24 tool side mount random position
toolchanger.so all I need think about I think is the actual toolc

Hi guys
I am currently running 2.7 linuxcnc. I think it is the stretch iso but I
am not sure. how to I tell if I have linuxcnc stretch iso. would love it
if someone could show me a simple way to tell what i have. there must be
some show command.
I just wondered what is involved in changing to
Hello,
I think you need to set the state of those pins on you halfile when you
call for that component you created.
