Problem of course is that the 7i76 is still in an ifitfits box in the possession of the USPO yet. The default says it will find them all, but the load end of the circuit doesn't exist till the card gets here, so none of them are showing up in the dmesg report.
So in that regard it may actually be self-configureing. > Where x turns off the port in question. If there's no response from the 7i78, because I'm going to put a normal bob on that cable, I'd assume sserial to it will not show up, which is good I think. But tonight, trying to put the finishing touches on a db25 sized hole in the new boxes back panel for a board mounted male db25, I get to the retaining screw location where I call a sub which is supposed to goto relative motion, and drill a spiral arc .215" in diameter with a .125" mill, meaning the motion diameter is .090". But I've spent the last 2 hours playing 10000 monkeys trying to make it use arcgenm18.py's outputs in the relative to the center of the arc mode, getting errors up to 50%. I've done it before so I know it can be done but I don't do it every day. The code as it sits in the editor right now: ================= o130 SUB G17 (XY) G91 (incremental distance from where its at) (G90.1) (ditto for arcs) G1 F10 X0.0450 Y0.0000 G3 F5 X0.0450 Y-0.0000 I-0.0450 J-0.0000 Z-0.1 P5 (G91.1) (back to default ijk) G90 (absolute distance) G0 Z.05 (back out of hole to clear) o130 ENDSUB =================== later in the file: G1 F10 Z0.050 (clear work) S 2500 M3 (start spindle) (goto 1st hole location) G1 F10 y0.00000 X-[#<_std-A>/2.000000] o130 CALL and (goto other hole location) G1 F10 Y0.000000 X[#<_std-A>/2.00000000] o130 CALL So something is all aglay in o130 SUB, but what? Yeah, speeds are slow, its the little HF mill. Software stepping. Thanks Andy. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
