[Emc-users] Using an old Anilam control panel with LCNC?
I'm thinking of keeping the old control box on my mill to house the new computer. I'd like to use the control panel, which on the Anilam Crusader M has 54 switches in the main panel plus a separate 8 switch panel. There's a couple of ways to go about that. 1. Remove the existing encoder and directly use the key matrix connector, which has 18 pins plus 6 pins that're all tied to a ground plane. The sub panel has 9 wires so that's 9 separate switch leads with a single common. Could connect all that to a programmable switch matrix encoder and assign switches to match LCNC functions. 2. The stock encoder board has a 3 wire power input and a 4 wire interface. Unless the encoding it uses is documented somewhere, converting that to USB or PS/2 could be a challenge - and wouldn't do anything for the sub panel. Some Google on the chips... KR9600 PRO is a keyboard encoder, capable of handling up to 90 switches. D3-6402R-9 is an RS232-C line driver. Ah-so! This board speaks serial! Feed it power, connect to a com port, setup a terminal, poke buttons and see what gets printed on the screen for each one. Does LCNC support a serial connected control device where every input can be assigned as needed to program functions or normal keyboard keys? Which would you think would be easier? Matrix encoder to USB or use the original encoder and translate its serial output? The other thing I'd like to do is install a small LCD. If I remove the original bezel for the CRT I can fit up to a 9" diagonal 4:3 ratio LCD without making the hole bigger. Problem is I haven't been able to find such a thing, new or used. It doesn't need touchscreen or speakers or any inputs other than a VGA port. 800x600 could be a bit cramped on resolution but mostly that screen would just be for loading files and monitoring how it's running. -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

Re: [Emc-users] Thermocouple to LinuxCNC
Changing to a thermcouple is a near future project for me, too. The MAX chip looks better for this application, especially since I'm looking at nylon and maybe PC printing (300-320C range). For this, the AD595 has a couple of issues. First, the output for the termperature range I'm looking at is 3 to 3.5v, which is over twice the range of the BBB's ADC. The voltage divider is easy, but by the time I've added in a safety zone and add something to limit the voltage into the ADC, it becomes more complex and results in lost resolution. Also, the max chip can run on 3.3v that the rest of my BBB uses. The AD595 would probably require something above 5v to measure the temps I'm looking for. What I haven't decided upon is where to mount the converter. Can the thermcouple wire withstand the repetitive motion if the extruder were to move relative to the converter (on the X and Z axis), or should it be mounted near the extruder so that the thermocouple wire doesn't get flexed at all?

I don't believe this is an artifact simply of your Windows-based X11-server lashup although this configuration could be a contributing factor. At the moment, looking at the latency issue remains stuck in my FINO (first in,never out) stack. One caveat for folks tunneling X11 through ssh from low horsepower LCNC hosts. It entails encryption of the X11 traffic and my tests showed the compute burden is significant on my Beaglebone Black no matter the specific encryption algorithm (https://sites.google.com/site/manisbutareed/beaglebone-black-linuxcnc Sorry I haven't added the promised "details later" yet but it's taking me time to recover from a personal calamity). This was the work Dave Engvall alluded to. For these systems I suggest a traditional redirection of the X11 traffic using the well-known DISPLAY environment variable (and typically a few adjustments on the X11-server host as well). It's terribly insecure so be sure the client and server are behind a worthy firewall. Regards, Kent -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

The PRU code is capable of driving any pin in the 4 32-bit banks of GPIO, as well as the 16 directly-connected low-latency PRU output pins. To calculate a pin number to use for the GPIO banks: Pin# = ((gpio_bank + 1) * 32) + pin_number ...this is the same as the kernel pin numbering scheme, except one is added to the GPIO bank so that zero results in an invalid pin number and means "don't drive any pin". This is to keep things safe since all pin numbers default to zero the way HAL shared memory gets initialized, you have to explicitly set a pin number before the PRU actually tries to twiddle something. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

If you want to talk to it via real-time HAL you'll have to write a low-level SPI driver to talk directly to the hardware, but that's probably not necessary.

If so, I occasionally get a real-time error message if the Xenomai thread latency ever goes over 25 uS. Since the typical latency is around 20 uS and worst-case latency is around 60 uS or so, this can definitely happen. I haven't (yet) tracked down why LinuxCNC seems to consider 25 uS a "magic number" and throw an error, but if everything else is working well the error is safe to ignore. Also, IIRC the latency should have been reported in the error message. If it was 25.xx, you're seeing the same issue I'm referring to here. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

sc9054 should run on XP32 (it does here) but you will need to boot win7 64 in
development mode to run sc9054. However, sc9054 will not help with updating
the remote sserial firmware. If you want to update the 8I20 firmware via
windows I would use a usb-serial adapter and the uflbp utility.
I do think its easier to do this via linuxcnc however (no funny serial
cables so update in place with your existing setup)
You can do this either by connecting the 8I20s to the 7I77s sserial expansion
port (the 5I25 will very likely have sserial firmware > R33 and if not you
can update it via mesaflash), or installing updated rmsvss6_8 firmware for the
5I23. I can make a up to date version of this today

Re: [Emc-users] MESA 8i20 and enable signal
Dear Peter, continuing the topic, could you please help me to update firmware (in case they need one) of the boards I have: 3x 5i23 6x 8i20 1x 7i49 1x 5i25 1x 7i77 1x 7i37 a lot of 7i39-HV I can give you remote access to my PCs. What tools do you prefer? I can run TeamViewer for example.. What I am working now on and met a problem is a setup of 5i23, 7i44, 7i49, 7i37 and 6x 8i20. This is what I started to write you as I went through 8i20 update way: To help make your README and update tools better: Change sudo ./installss to sudo ./ssinstall You can put a note about path and making ssinstall executable Change /bin to /lib inside ssinstall Write where to find host FPGA firmware sserial version (I don't know) You could note / put a link to info what is master version of LinuxCNC Note about executable for update* files Note that user has to specify path to firmware file or copy it or script to one dir. Or change the script to take firmware from default location. And then I stopped at: [ 7317.595333] hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15 [ 7317.599591] hm2_pci: loading Mesa AnyIO HostMot2 driver version 0.7 [ 7317.599653] hm2_pci :01:06.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 [ 7317.599659] hm2_pci: discovered 5i23 at :01:06.0 [ 7317.599743] hm2_5i23.0: firmware: requesting hm2/5i23/rmsvss6_8.bit [ 7317.858875] hm2/hm2_5i23.0: Smart Serial Firmware Version 31 [ 7317.858884] hm2/hm2_5i23.0: Setting baudrate is not supported in the current firmware version [ 7317.858887] Version must be > v33 and you have version 31.hm2/hm2_5i23.0: failed to parse Module Descriptor 4 I tried to run SC9054W.exe for 5i23. Drivers do not install on Win7 64. And SC9054W.exe does not run on WinXP 32. And I don't know where to get new sserial firmware files. On 08/09/2013 12:24 AM, Peter C.
