Padovani Labor-e 275 lathe retrofit

Hi i have also a padovani 275e sin805/611a no backups and eeprom error when trying to load plc eeprom seems like its wery hard to get it working i consider doing mesa/linuxcnc conversion if someone would like to share configs and electrical shematic since mine is incomplete thinking of keeping padovanis controlls for manual operation it would be great

    recently I got a brilliant idea to update my 2 year old running system to version 2.8.0 (fresh install debian 10 preempt-rt iso)
when I first did this retrofit I run pncconf got the machine running and it was basically it, it was good enough for the jobs I run
but now I wonder if my config was shit to begin with because after updating to 2.8.0 with the same settings I got joint following error when using G0 on X axis and what's really annoying Axis GUI lags/hangs for 5-20seconds when I execute any movement let it be from mdi command or a program AND then try to switch between manual control and mdi (F3-F5)
it also lags when I pause a program (spindle is running) and I try to use File/Machine/View menu
what I have:
COMM_TIMEOUT = 1.0
SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000
what setting can I try to change?


 

What is the [DISPLAY} CYCLE_TIME in your .ini file?

There was a change in units at one time
and some LinuxCNC setups ended up with
a disagreement on units resulting in _LONG_
poll intervals

I have CYCLE_TIME = 0.010 in [TASK]
and CYCLE_TIME = 0.100 in [EMCIO]
don't have one in [DISPLAY]

radom@labor:~$ uname -a
Linux labor 4.19.0-11-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

add this to [DISPLAY]

CYCLE_TIME = 100


Please report back

sorry for 2.8 it needs to be

CYCLE_TIME = 0.1

No problem there, then. 

The conversion script will have converted your config, perhaps it got something wrong. Can you attach the the HAL and INI files? 
 

they were already attached forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/36886...ofit?start=20#215069
can you see them?
