Alright its starting to look like the inmates are running the asylum. Everyone just hold on for a moment, breath in and out, and cool our heads. I know english or linuxcnc isnt everyones first language, but it looks like everyone is working off each others confusion, and you guys are spiraling out. I think there are some core concepts we arent all understanding completely. Its clear that you guys are smart people, so lets hold on for a moment and regroup, and always read the manual. If you atre getting frustrated, just start from page one and read. If there are things getting lost in translation on the documents, letting us know would be great, and we can change some of the wording. I know the docs arent perfect, but the core concepts are the same for the whole of remora.


Also, if its a remora specific question, it is best to ask in the thread. remora isnt really a big wide linuxcnc thing, it makes it harder to find your thread.

  

 
First of all thank you so much for your interest in the problems of all of us newbies. And yes I can't speak English at all, I only understand a few technical words as the little I know was learned by myself. I'm sure that the things you wrote in the following posts will solve all my problems even future ones and I will keep these posts as documentation.

I have one last question, is there a specific post of remora? Could you kindly link because I thought it was this post here! Thanks again infinitely!!!

a little help links for NVEM RT1052 pins1      NVEM RT1052 pins2 

first thing i went to google and searched for this:
Google help me  
I didn't find anything to configure the steps, I attach my configuration. After the modification the stepper doesn't move anymore I also tried to give it this combination:I attached the txt file I sent to NVEM
 

thank you cakeslob!! work !!! need only little bit tuning

Ok great, so

DarkPheonix - good for now and stepping?

aDm1N - you have the Estop behavior working properly with that code then? If yes, Spyder, refer to his example.
re- MPG , here is the config for MPG, un-comment the line from your ini file, and make sure the component is installed. This is for the NVMPG that can come with the board with the screen. If you are talking about a separate MPG, we can copy the same with a few changes.
github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c...ic/remora-nv-mpg.hal

re- C axis and encoder - this is more involved, lets circle back to this one

Spyder, yes there will be some conflicting line, the 3 lines at the top of the hal file needed modification, but I think you figured it out. "net remote-estp " check out the linuxcnc page on hal, but the nets are names that you create, so there wont be a remote-estp pin in the linuxcnc documents, and yes the => and <= denote signal direction,
so for example the new net "remote-estp" is connecting the linuxcnc pin "estop-latch.0.fault-in" to the remora pin "remora.input.04"
and the remora pin is going to the latch.0.fault-in pin

There is only one problem when you use the directional buttons to move the axes, the movement is strange, not responsive, slow to start, and sometimes that movement remains in memory, after an estop, the car exiting the estop starts turning again by itself or makes strange movements.!! but gcode work fine! i need study the problem! I was able to get it working using a function generator and an osciloscope.

Yes, the eStop works as it should. By MPG, I mean a normal external handwheel with a selector switch for the axes, not the NV MPG.

Thank you cake! That actually cleared things up more than a little. I managed to figured out what that .not was for on the end so maybe that's a plus.

Still have the Emergency Stop button on Axis freezing after a trigger and neither mouse or [F1] will reset it. I am thinking that I had read some posts back that someone else was experiencing the same thing and was thinking it was Axis related?

Not letting that stop me from moving forward and next comes the probe. If I were to take a SWAG at it, how close does this come?

Am I on the right track?

DarkPheonix - that one got lost in translation. i kind of understand but if you can take a short video that would be great

Spyder - yes, the .not is used to invert the pin without having to use a linuxcnc not component. the probe looks good, the estop latch might not get reset for some reason leaving it in estop if i understand the logic of it from here.

adm1n - most of this one can be used but we gotta modify the nvmpg inputs to be normal ones

Solved is remote desktop keyboard keys problem!! with direct Keyboard the JOG work correctly.

Thank you cake for the conformation on the probe. I think I got the outputs for coolant figured out as well. At least it tests out working with the right pins showing for M7 and M8.



At this point I seem to be the most unsure about the spindle config. For spindle forward and reverse, pretty sure I need to add a couple of lines at the end of the spindle config section, or somewhere, but I am not getting the final part of the config. Kind of think it should go something like -



I am confused with the 3rd part of those lines. I see some examples here in the docs - linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/spindle.html#_spindle_enable - but the examples there look so parallel port, and I do not think they will work. should I be using something like - iocontrol.0.(?something?) - or am I hoeing in the wrong row? (again)

I think there is maybe one or 2 more questions before I finalize this config but I'll take it one at a time.
