Hi everyone!
I have tool changer from BOXFORD 125 TLC And I found
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wik...nger_component
My problem is that just looking at README and other files in it gives me headache and I start to sweat :( :D :D :D
I was able to setup my lathe with stepconf, but that is as far as my knowledge goes
If it is no to much to ask, would it be possible to guide me step by step and what/where to copy/alter?
I know I’m asking big favour here, sorry.
This is what I tried so far:
I copied file toolchanger.comp to my linuxcnc/configs/Lathe folder
Then copied:
################################################## #######
# .ini file for axis - ATC set up as axis A angular
################################################## #######
[AXIS_3]
TYPE = ANGULAR
HOME = 0.0
MAX_VELOCITY = 2.5
MAX_ACCELERATION = 5
STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 5
SCALE = 80.0
FERROR = 1
MIN_FERROR = .25
MIN_LIMIT = -99999
MAX_LIMIT = 99999
HOME_OFFSET = 0.0
to the end of my Lathe.ini file
Then I copied:
################################################## ########
# example Hal linkages required:-
################################################## ########
setp stepgen.3.position-scale [AXIS_3]SCALE
setp stepgen.3.steplen 1
setp stepgen.3.stepspace 0
setp stepgen.3.dirhold 16000
setp stepgen.3.dirsetup 31000
## make sure accel and velocity are sensibly low or it will take off!
setp stepgen.3.maxaccel [AXIS_3]STEPGEN_MAXACCEL
### must unlink these 2 to access stepgen.3.position-cmd
### and prevent continual following errors if motor-pos-fb left linked
#net apos-cmd axis.3.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.3.position-cmd
#net apos-fb stepgen.3.position-fb => axis.3.motor-pos-fb
net astep <= stepgen.3.step
net adir <= stepgen.3.dir
net aenable axis.3.amp-enable-out => stepgen.3.enable
################################################## #########
# loading the toolchange component in .hal file
################################################## #########
loadrt toolchanger
addf toolchanger servo-thread
net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change => toolchanger.toolchange
net tool-changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= toolchanger.toolchanged
net tool-number iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => toolchanger.toolnumber
net tool-oldnumber iocontrol.0.tool-number => toolchanger.currenttoolnumber
net apos-cmd toolchanger.position-cmd => stepgen.3.position-cmd
net ahomed axis.3.homed => toolchanger.ishomed
net tool-prepare-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
In to my Lathe.hal file
I don’t understand this part:
### must unlink these 2 to access stepgen.3.position-cmd
### and prevent continual following errors if motor-pos-fb left linked
#net apos-cmd axis.3.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.3.position-cmd
#net apos-fb stepgen.3.position-fb => axis.3.motor-pos-fb
Now when I try to run Linuxcnc I got this message:
/Lathe_Orac.hal:87: parameter or pin ‘stepgen.3.positio-scale’ not found
