[Machinekit] Help request for development PC to use Cetus

2018-08-09 Thread fairbanks-john
I’m a little confused on how to interface the Cetus gui with Machinekit on my new Linux based development PC on which I have already installed Machinekit as run in place. I’m running on Linux Mint 18.3 with kernel 4.9.98-RT. The Machinekit appears to be running fine and I have down loaded C

I have been setting up a new development system using Mint 18.3 and also a Windows box using Win7 and have noticed that there is a problem getting Machinekit logging working properly on Mint every time 'sudo make setuid' is run. So to help others here is my consolidated fix to overcome this. T

Schooner in reference to your comment: "I am confused by your use of 'remote'. Gmoccapy is not a remote GUI, but you were using it. Are you just referring to accessing the controller machine remotely from another computer? Or are you intending to use an actual remote interface via a loader a

To day I decided that the cause of my problem is most likely the version of gmoccapy available with machinekit. I had modified my configuration files to make gmoccapy happy but it appears that there are still incompatibilities and do not wish to spend more time on. I used my Mesa 7I80 flash de

I have Machinekit running now as a run in place with no error but having issues correctly addressing pins in my Mesa 7i80HD-25 board. To help resolve this problem I have attached my custom PIN_CNC1_V1_72.vhd file which is human readable. My install of Machinekit is a cloned install from git hu

Yes, It looks like I'm getting closer to having a working configuration that is getting close to being suitable for further testing and development work. I did purchase a second Mesa 7i80 card and flashed it with my custom bit file so that I would not have to use the actual card and milling mac

Schooner I think that I pushed a wrong buttons while posting and messed things up a bit. I got a new computer and build a new configuration since I think the old machine may have gotten corrupted while attempting to solve issues. I will rebuild it later. Machine kit loadsrand runs now but I'm c

I'm finally continuing my work on building a new gui and switching this in progress work from linuxcnc to machinekit. I'm using my ACRA milling machine as a test bed which I do need to be able to use normally while this work progresses. It runs on linuxcnc 2.8pre with gmoccapy. The interface b

I was going to order a BeagleBone Black (BBB) computer board today but read about MutliKore and put the BeagleBone Black order on hold since I would really like a board that has multiple CPU cores to be able to implement MultiKore features in machinekit. I read that the DE0-NANO-SoC board was b

I was able to get my configuration working by adding loadrt tp (not sure what that does), and changing some joints to axis names, and also modifying some gmoccapy pin names from the newer 5 axis version that I was using with linuxcnc to the 4 axis version of gmoccapy that comes with machinekit.

2017-01-24 Thread fairbanks-john
I have been looking into this a little further and find that there is a big difference in the hm2_eth.c driver files used by machinekit and those used by linuxcnc. This could be the cause as to why the present configuration in the 7i80 card could not be read by machinekit. Does the 7i80 card
