Excel file for building the configuration, pinouts etc. ? was created by P1-Engineering
Was wondering if there is an Excel file available somewhere which gives you the overview of all the pinouts?.
Think this would help tremendously when building the configuration and starting the wiring.
When building my first controller with Eding CNC I made such an overview, but that was a fairly simple, straight forward, configuration.
With all the possibilites LinuxCNC offers it gets complicated a lot quicker and would like to build the config and the wiring first time right.
If this is not available I would also like to know, because then I will put one together myself and make it available.
General wiring hookups can also be an option in a later stage.

Hi,
I think there is none. For every type "mesa, ethercat, parport" etc. it differs.
If you do the config wizzard, your generated output will contain a .hal file. This hal file shows the connections.
You could consider this .hal file as a basis to construct your excel template file.

I like that idea. Would you consider Libraoffice Calc. instead for those that don't have excel.

Hi,
Libreoffice excel is common used with linux as it is free. So you can just provide a slogan like : sudo apt-get instal libreoffice-excel.
when you are ready to post the file. Users can then just copy past your instruction.

libreoffice-calc
that is the official name of the exel in Linux.
And the package to install is:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
That will also install the rest of the office suit.

I started by making a table of inputs and outputs. I updated the table before I added a new pin.
Over time, I added a number of other tables for stepper wiring colours etc. Its all in there.

Linux for me, currently, is only to run the CNC's and 3D printers.

I will check it out, but I'm quite experienced in Excel so if Libraoffice has a very different workflow I will probably not invest the time.I like that idea. Would you consider Libraoffice Calc. instead for those that don't have excel.

Hi,
Libre Calc is similar to excel, with a similar workflow/interface.
Some math functions are different but similar.
The attached file, I created in Libre Calc, and then zipped for attaching to the forum message.
