    Re: Flow Control Not Working

    The tape reader is a parallel device that reads a block, executes it, etc, not serial. A replacement for the tape reader is a BTR. The BTR may take in a serial stream but it converts to parallel....

    Re: Flow Control Not Working

    You are using a BTR? Behind Tape Reader? Does the machine have a RS232 port?

    Re: More Than 21 Tools In Fadal Carousel

    Do you have the machine pause, change the tool manually, and then continue? Or do you swap out tools?

  4. Re: Getting my First Fadal and Control Upgrade Questions

    Rigid tapping requires an encoder on the spindle for position feedback. If it did not have rigid with the old controller it would have to be added. Mine has no spindle encoder.

    Is the program actually in memory? Check it with, I believe, P and then 1 while in edit mode.

    Re: lathe tool and work offsets

    First off, do have a home switch on the X axis? Tools should be set to that known position. Doing the same on Z makes life easier also.

    Re: Reversing axis direction in linuxcnc

    My mistake, you are looking for input_scale=xxxx in your ini file. Change the xxxx to -xxxx, xxxx being your step count. I have never used stepconf but pncconf lets you page through if you select...

    Re: Reversing axis direction in linuxcnc

    Did you use stepconf or pncconfig to set it up? If so then check the box to reverse the axis. If you did a manual install then change the sign of the output_scale in the .ini file.

    Download the latest version and install it on a USB drive. You can then use it as a live install and test out the latency to see if you have a good candidate. Look under CNC in the dropdown menu.

    Re: Wotan Rapid 1 HBM retrofit

    First find out what inputs the A-B amps use. Are they analog or digital? Encoders or resolvers? The Ethernet cards work fine and are very handy to use. If you want to use a slot then use PCIExpress...
  16. Re: Fadal loosing something/somewhere - cumulative error or backlash?

    Backlash does not accumulate. When you go one way you lose the backlash and when you return it returns canceling out.

  17. Re: Fadal loosing something/somewhere - cumulative error or backlash?

    Best guess is the screws heat up and change length. Let it all cool down for an hour and recheck.

    Can you use MDI and move it around?

    Try using MDI to send turret to X home, as in G28U0 then press the turret index button see if it indexes.
