Hey Rob, Thank you so much. Your process worked spot on. My next step is to get homing switches set up and automated. I'm new to this cnc stuff and the more automation I can get going the better for me. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

An excellent tutorial; kudos to you. I got an "EOF filepath error" when trying to run the routine but this was my putting in my filepath wrong. A single lowercase letter where the uppercase should have been! (I wrote this in case others get the same error) Apart from that excellent and easy. Top work

Rob, I'm using a C11GS board from CNC4PC. In your video you call for the probe to be connected to a Pin and Ground. I tried that and it did not work. However connecting a Pin and 5V did work. What I learned is in order for the Pin/Ground combo to work, I need to have the associated Pin set to Pull-UP on the C11GS breakout board. Hope this helps someone else who may be having the same problem. Thanks for your video's. John

OH it is 115 in the garage ,need a ice collar with 4 cubes of ice cooling the back of the neck. nothing complicated , can roll the ice in a fabric and just wear it as a cow boy scarf. Trust me you will start feeling cold. Right now I am in the tin hut where my self built stuff is located. as every one hates the sound of the spindle if I am any way 20 feet near the living quarters, so I shifted to the barn store. and I have a collar with 6 ice cubes , its pretty chilly , how ever the temp in the tin hut was way past 120 :)

I'm pretty excited about this and nearly have it working. Thanks! One question - I see you edit touch_plate.ini manually. Does this mean that you must never run Stepconfig again on this setup? Won't it overwrite your edits if you do?
@paulreader1777
4 жыл бұрын
Yes - they overwrite each other - the initial advantage of StepConfig is to test max jitter and max velocity and acceleration for each axis, once that is done you are probably better off editing and saving the ini and hal files etc. As demonstrated you can create a number of config set ups - if you are careful you can copy and rename them too so you have backups.

Sorry, but you are beyond my skill level with that question. This is a pretty old video (but I think it still helps a lot of people). The version of LinuxCNC on that video is getting older, and I do not know if the problem you are having has anything to do with the age of the procedure/version, or if it is unrelated.

@@sidewinderdrums No worries! And the video might be old, but I've looked for quite a while and this is still the best video out there on this topic. I think most of the people getting confused in the comments are looking for the specific file names in your video (ie "touchplate.ini", which is 'your' machine name in the video), not filenames with 'their' machine name in them. It is a complicated subject, but you nailed it. As far as I have figured out in my searches today, gmoccappy does not yet support pyvcp, so if you do anything with pyvcp like these steps do, you lose compatibility with gmoccapy and are unable to use it. No big deal though, being able to touch off on the workpiece is kind of a critical function in my case. I will take what I can get! :):) thanks again!

My BOB has + and - for inputs - looks like you use the probe return via the earth/ground connection on the mill? Is this correct? I would assume my probe connection would need two wires, one to the tool and one to the touch plate, can i assume the ground/earth on the mill is equivalent to the BOB negative connection? I am in the UK and all out electrical appliances have a live, neutral and earth connection? It's whether I run two cables for each input connection really or can get away with one?

"can i assume the ground/earth on the mill is equivalent to the BOB negative connection?" - I would assume so.In the US we use 110v, but we have a similar 3 wire AC setup (I don't claim to be an electrician or electrical engineer).On my setup, the spindle / router is plugged into a different circuit than the computer and stepper controller. The way my router is built, the spindle shaft is grounded (I don't know if it is this way for all spindles / routers). When the bit on my system touches the plate (no alligator clip for ground), it completes the circuit and system knows it made contact. I was quite impressed that this worked since the router and BOB go through different circuit breakers.

Hi Rob, thanks so much for your excellent code shared ! Zero homing run very well on linuxcnc 2.6.13 but Z touch plate is very slow and stop when the bit is on contact with the plate and doesn't up again. I have a error message "probe is press in at the beginning of the mouvement G38.2 orG38.3" I hope you can switch me in the good way ! All the best !!!

Are you using inches or mm? That could explain why it is going very slow (my code is inches). I am not sure about the error - I have not seen that one before. I hope it is because the probe is in contact to long. If you speed it up it might fix that issue too. Good luck, Rob

Perhaps an obvious question but where is the touch plate connected? To an input on the controller (pin 13?) I can see the tool makes the circuit with the plate so the croc clip to the tool is connected to ground?
@sidewinderdrums
8 жыл бұрын
Yes. The plate is wired to pin 13, and the corc clip is ground. Note: on some routers (like mine), the shaft is grounded, so you don't need to use the corc clip as long as the router is plugged it. In this case you will need to make sure that the plate goes to pin 13 instead of the ground wire, or the circuit will always be completed.

One more thing. If you watch the video I did on relays, it shows a lot more on the wiring. Not specifically on the touch plate, but once you see the wiring there, it will make more sense for the touch plate. kzitem.info/news/bejne/wJuOx2iHiodoZoo

This is just a guess - I am not that good at troubleshooting errors in LinuxCNC. It should give an error if it goes down an inch and does not touch the plate. I suspect that is what this error is about. Are you working with inches or mm?. If you are working with mm, then you should change the ngc/gcode file for a bigger number. 1 mm is not enough.

Yes the video quality is poor on this one. One of my earlier videos. I'm not saying it was great to start with, but the KZitem software felt it needed stabilization, and automatically edited the video. Lost the edges, moved off center a few times. Not good quality, but I would like think the message is still relevant. Actually, as LinuxCNC keeps improving, this video potentially gets more and more out of date.

This is gobbledygook to me. It should be a bit more intuitive to set this up. I hate to keep doing it manually, but this has me lost. I have seen tutorials on doing this in Mach 3 and it was much easier. But alas, I am a zero Microsoft guy so... And maybe you are assuming the knowledge level of the viewer and just rambling through some of the process. Not that I don't appreciate your efforts, but I just find it hard to keep up with. I'll try to grind through it without pulling out too much of the hair nature hasn't already done away with.
