Hello! I am trying to help a guy that has retrofitted a lathe to LinuxCNC. He has 5i25 + 7i77 cards and 2.5.0 version installed.
The problem is that I cannot figure out, how to get threading to work. G76 command will bring the tool along X to proper thread depth and then stop. It seems to me that it is waiting for a signal on motion.spindle-index-enable. That pin is connected to encoder.00.index-enable pin, I checked - there is index pulse coming from encoder every spindle revolution, but I do not see any pulses in Halscope on index-enable pin. I tried playing with index-mask and index-mask-invert parameters, but no success. This page does not seem helpful, explaining all the details on how to set it up: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/spindle.html#_spindle_enable I see that reference no:2 at the bottom, but I was not able to find any explanation in manual. I would appreciate, if somebody could share some link, where it is explained, how exactly spindle index-enable pin is treated in lathe config. -- Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
