Re: Mirac NS connection problem

I managed to solve the NAN problem, it happened that I forgot to set the maximum feed rate, it was set to zero to both X and Z axes. However I cannot connect the lathe unless I open workbench and download the FPGA and the firmware again, every time I turn the machine off I have to do this. What can ...

Re: Mirac NS connection problem

Using easy machine upgrader didn't work. A message that the card isn't compatible with the latest software showed. Then another message saying "Non-volatile data corrupted" shows (it must be related to the fact that I removed the EEPROM after you guys suggested me to). I then installed the workbench...

Mirac NS connection problem

Hi, my name is Mauricio. I am facing some problems to connect Mirac NS to my computer. After clicking to connect to the machine in VR Turning software V.1.35, the "erasing flash" message appears and stays there for a few seconds before disappearing. The dialog box disappears and never shows back aga...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

I changed the mint file and tool position datum for tool changing is being stored in a byte from RAM. The problem is that I have to set the initial tool position everytime I turn on the machine. But after that everything works fine. I will try to buy a new EEPROM and plug in here. Hopefully it will ...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

VR Milling 2.16 doesn't use EEPROM? If so I'd better downgrade the software, because the EEPROM got lost, I believe someone threw it away.
If the EEPROM is needed anyway, them where and how can I acquire one?

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

I was checking and trying to make some changes in the mint file. I noticed that everything is working, the only problem occurs when the software tries to read nvlong. Can this be related to the fact that I removed Eeprom? I was able to (by directly activating the output ports) make all steps to tool...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

When I did that the following message appeared again "Error 37: Non-volatile data corrupted".
The machine seems to be stranger each day. Now, when I turned it on, the tool started spinning, ATC started rotating and started trying to move to tool change position (while rotating).

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

Denford Admin wrote:From the command prompt in workbench type:
NVLONG.1=1
Then hit return
That will hopefully reset the none volotile memory
Where do I write this? At TriacNS.mnt file? At line 100 ? Overwriting "COMMS(7) = NVLONG.POCKET", like this "COMMS(7) = NVLONG.1=1"? Or at the begging?

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

V2.31 software is still connecting. I connected the machine with VR Milling v2.31 and with Workbench at the same time. I set TriacNS as the active machine and tried to home Z axis. The speed problem happened again, and workbench shows an error 37 "Non-volatile data corrupted on line 100". Line 100 i...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

Something strange has happened, now v2.16 doesn't connect with the machine at all. After progress bar finishes a message "Invalid image format" appears. The green seven led segment shows number 2 on workbench.

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

I really don't understand what's going on here...there should be no need to make all these changes to the .mnt files for a standard machine that did work with v2.16 If you just uninstall everything and make sure you delete everything in c:\program files\denford and then install v2.16 does the machi...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

Well, it didn't work. The same problem happened (speed, brake and potentiometer problems). Then I tried to compile the mnt file, there were 9 errors found. All of them because of line 30 "SRAMP[ALLAXES] = 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000". I then put a ' before the line, to cancel it (as it is in TritonNS.mnt...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

Ok.

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

OK, the problem now is that the Triton didn't have a toolchanger so doesn't have the logic in the mint file to control one. If you can supply the TriacNS mint from the old version of VRMilling I can compare to the new one and create a new file for you to compile in workbench (to a .mex file) I won'...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

Switching to TritonNS worked out. Almost all of the problems are gone now. There are only two issues now: 1: Everytime I turn off the machine I have to reinstall the firmware and FPGA using workbench; 2: The machine is not changing tool. I already checked the "auto changer" box in "Tool change" and ...

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

I think you need to get this card exchanged with the Denford service dept. How do I do that, who do I need to contact? It sounds like the setup for the TriacNS in the latest VRMilling is set to use the later Microstepping drives. When I look at the setup TriacNS.ini the steps per mm is set to 2000....

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

How do I reset firmware? There were no firmware and FPGA files selected when I started MintMan NextStep, so I chose one file for each. But I chose the wrong file for the firmware, now it is not connecting with the machine anymore, not even for me to try to change the firmware.

Re: Triac NS PC Z axis problem

I re-installed VR Milling 2.31 and it really didn't work. Z motor is still making a shrill noise and not moving, even without the brake. Z motor is only working with 2.16 software. I cannot update the software to the latest version using easy upgrader. It still showing that message "your card is not...
