I’m running into an issue. Followed all steps and Linuxcnc is running. However. The steppers won’t move (holding torque is there) I have checked and rechecked the wiring a million times. I’m using nema 23 steppers with the stepperonline dm542t and cl57t stepper drivers. What am I missing?

Thanks for the video Especially like your safety set up and keeping self away from potential voltage exposure Nice Job 👍🏽

Got the break out board and cnc running but I’m having trouble installing the probe configuration based on this video I keep getting errors I think theres conflicting errors with vista cnc pendant I installed have you used Linuxcnc probe basic? Would like a tutorial video on making it work with the raspberry pi 5 and your breakout board

new computer can add cheap 10-20$ paraller port pci-pcie card too, if PC not have paraller port, axis 99100 not working but MC xxxx cards workig well. i not remember card chip number this now.

Raspberry pi GPIO can controller drivers input traight, not need breakoutboard use if not want. only connect GPIO pin to stepper motor drivers step , direction, enable pins better use optocoupler GPIO output and drivers input pins. easy way this have too use. same than arduino can use direct output pins to drivers, not need breakoutboard. or arduino cnc chield.

perfect cpmåination have raspberry 4 or 5, linuxcnc 2.9 and mesa card whit raspberry pi. have all what cnc need be, in/out pins lot and controller perfect whit big stepper drivers and motors.

What img Debian bookwork????

Thanks for the Puzzle!

Very cool video, I'm trying to do the same for my CNC Router that I'm manufacturing... I wanted to understand more about how you did the Spindler issue to control the speed... Do you have a tutorial...

❤ I found that very interesting, thanks for sharing.

What gauge wire did you get for the high voltage side. And where did you purchase it?

Fingers that the mounting bracket will not work will not work because you’re going to have a washer and wood bees going into that sucker would not recommend or recommend hanging out on your garage or hanging it inside your freaking damn ceiling basically you’re attic

Firstly won’t work because of the EV roof will leak well actor recommend would probably mounted to the beams on the inside wall or if that doesn’t work because your walls are full or something similar put it into the Raptors that does not work and you have a use a little bit cold during winters, but not that coldthat’s the thing that you use that will work forever

Just wondering what your boot speed is like when you open lcnc. Mines really slow.

Good video and well explained, but how do i wire up and implement a handwheel ?

A most wonderful RPi5 CNC video. ✨ Do you have a RPi5 GPIO video using PWM to control the newer GPIO for a LED in Thonny, Python IDE? 😎 Thank you.

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running with your hat driving my mill and my router. It works great and your support information was very helpful. Linux and LinuxCNC can be very confusing but your input supports those who just want to "make chips".

Thanks, your blog will be helpful for my next build.

I have Linuxcnc working on a RPI 4 as a test setup. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect timing for me as I have 2 weeks off and time to work on my cnc project. Thanks for all the great work! Not all heroes wear capes!

did your relay not have a back EMF diode across the coil??

What is the usual parallel port latency with this setup?

Cool!

"I have always been leary about the longevity of a large PC" - yeah, this is getting me lately. Until yesterday my CNC has been running from a PC that I already had to replace the power supply in, and now it seems to have completely died. No beep on startup, no BIOS post, nothing :( So I'm probably gonna switch to RPi as well, although not with software stepping. Do you know what step-rate you can get from yours?

iam getting this kind of error when i run in raspberry pi 5 Debug file information: Note: Using POSIX realtime The GPIO line GPIO16 can not be found hal_gpio: rtapi_app_main: Operation not permitted (-1) ./my_machine.hal:7: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app hal_gpio ./my_machine.hal:7: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready ./my_machine.hal:7: insmod for hal_gpio failed, returned -1 7869 Stopping realtime threads Unloading hal components Note: Using POSIX realtime can u help me ? the same cod e when i run in raspberry pi 4 model b it works. But in raspberry pi 5 it is generating error like the above.

How did u changed the resolution because it is showing default, minimum and maximum resolution is 1920×1080 for me plz help. I need to change the resolution

Why did you measure (or need to measure) the spindle height a second time @6:37 ? That you got a difference of 0.0015 is a bit disconcerting. Is this because you had re-positioned your tool setter and the 1,2,3 blocks ?

I was thinking of another CNC…

I have no matrix of holes in my spoilboard. I drill a hole where and when I need one. So far, in six months of use, my spoilboard has four holes in it. And none of them is the kind of unfortunate compromise you show on the thumbnail. Also most of the clamping force should be sideways, stopping the workpiece from sliding around. You need very little downwards force. Cams and wedges are the things you need.

Are those nema17

I use about the same clamping system except I have an 20mm thick aluminium bed with holes cnc drilled and tapped (M5). I've slotted the aluminium strips and put threaded holes at each end. This way I can adjust the the screw on the work piece for material thickness. It does stick out more above the material but I usually move the spindle around and looking at the gcode preview to see if there's any collisions. I use 50x150x15mm parallels to align the workpiece, clamp it down and remove the parallels if they are in the way. As for edge clamping, I sometimes use 2 toe clamps, one to constrain slipping the second thats on an angle on the workpiece edge. If the workpiece is small enough I use the machine vise with parallels. Or use the tape and glue method but I'm not a fan of that and avoid it if I can. As spoilboards I use mdf flooring laminate to protect the alu bed. I can cut them to size or use multiple boards as needed.

I just bought a machine with FANUC OM controls. Any thoughts on resources for learning more about these machines?

Great video Dan!

You lost me when you decided to not use a Mesa Ethernet card.

Fine! I also use Raspberry Pi but with my grbl board.

This is Awesome !! I am definitely doing this tonight with an RPi 5. Eventually I would like to convert the OS .img into an ISO and deploy this bad boy through my Proxmox RPi 5 cluster 🥷🏼

Hi guys! please help a newbie! I recently purchased a Fanuc Tape Drill Mate Model T CNC milling machine. I don’t know how to make the X Y axes tied, in offsets only the Z axis? Thank you!

This is a very bad result. You need to adjust - this computer can do very well.

Do you also have the ini file available for running linuxcnc? I only see the hal file you posted.. Are more steps involved in getting it running like installing a hal component or something?

you need make a backup parameter and your pitch error

There it is!

Do you know what kind of switching speed to expect on the PI 5 IO? i have been looking at using one but am unsure what to expect with max feeds and speeds.

I purchased your Pi Parallel Hat board. I performed the installation you described, but the machine does not run. Linux says that it does not know the parallel port base address. I tried 0x378 and 0 doesn't work either. Can you advise please? Thanks I have a pi4

Es Sólo un juguete.

I thought I read somewhere that the reason people were using rasp pi was cuz they could use output pins INSTEAD of parallel port...? Guess I misinterpreted?

I was thinking yesterday these coils would be great content for your channel.

7:51 can you tell me where is this file located i cant find it and did it solved gpio problems explain in more depth

need a pop filter on that mic my man. ever PUH you sounded out kicked my floor from my subwoofer.

Will LinuxCNC control a spindle via RS485?

Do you sell the PI5 Hat that can do the Parallel port? Even just the bill of components and the design file would be great! Thanks!
