+# How can I add a new Machine?
+
+Adding a new machine follows a common structure in `server/machines/`.
+
+
+
+# TLDR
+
+Summary
+
+When adding a new machine:
+
+- Create Folder server/machines/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME/.
+- Add the 4 files (mod.rs, new.rs, act.rs, api.rs).
+- Register it in machines/mod.rs with a unique constant.
+- mod.rs: define the struct + emit functions.
+- new.rs: assemble devices/controllers into the machine.
+- act.rs: implement the machine loop (MachineAct).
+- api.rs: define request (mutations) and response (events) types.
+
+Tip: Start simple (copy MockMachine) and grow complexity as needed (add EtherCAT devices, controllers, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Create the folder
+
+Create a new directory:
+server/machines/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME
+
+At a minimum, this folder needs the following files:
+
+- `mod.rs`
+- `new.rs`
+- `act.rs`
+- `api.rs`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Register the module
+
+Add your machine to `server/machines/mod.rs`:
+
+```rust
+// mod.rs
+pub mod buffer1;
+pub mod extruder1;
+pub mod laser;
+pub mod mock;
+pub mod registry;
+pub mod winder2;
+pub mod YOUR_MACHINE;
+
+pub const VENDOR_QITECH: u16 = 0x0001;
+pub const MACHINE_WINDER_V1: u16 = 0x0002;
+pub const MACHINE_EXTRUDER_V1: u16 = 0x0004;
+pub const MACHINE_LASER_V1: u16 = 0x0006;
+pub const MACHINE_MOCK: u16 = 0x0007;
+pub const MACHINE_BUFFER_V1: u16 = 0x0008;
+pub const YOUR_MACHINE_V1: u16 = 0xffff; // pick a unique ID to avoid collisions also DO NOT touch any already defined ids!!
+```
+
+## 3. mod.rs
+
+This file defines your machine struct and the required event emitters.
+
+Look at MockMachine’s mod.rs for the simplest possible version.
+
+At a minimum, you need:
+- emit_state
+- emit_live_values
+- A machine struct for state(e.g. MockMachine, Extruder, Laser, Winder, …)
+
+More complex machines (e.g. Extruder, Winder) encapsulate controllers that in turn manage devices like EtherCAT terminals.
+
+## 4 new.rs
+
+This file implements MachineNewTrait for your machine.
+Here you assemble your machine from its parts — devices, controllers, and any state.
+
+Minimal example: see MockMachine → basically no devices, just returns a struct.
+
+Medium complexity: see Laser → wraps a single serial USB device.
+
+High complexity: see Extruder → configures multiple EtherCAT devices inside controllers.
+
+Think of new.rs as the factory:
+This is the place to declare which devices make up your machine and how they’re configured.
+
+## 5. act.rs
+
+This file implements the machine control loop using MachineAct.
+The act() method is called repeatedly by the control runtime.
+
+```rs
+impl MachineAct for YourMachine {
+    fn act(&mut self, _now_ts: Instant) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send + '_>> {
+        Box::pin(async move {
+            let now = Instant::now();
+
+            // Update state, e.g. step a controller
+            self.some_controller.update();
+
+            // Emit live values ~30 Hz if machine is in Running mode
+            if now.duration_since(self.last_measurement_emit) > Duration::from_secs_f64(1.0 / 30.0) {
+                self.maybe_emit_state_event();
+                self.emit_live_values();
+                self.last_measurement_emit = now;
+            }
+        })

+
+---
+
+### 3.2 EK1100 Wiring
+
+This wiring configuration powers the EL2004 and prepares it for LED control.  
+It is not the only possible wiring but is the **simplest functional setup**.
+
+#### ⚠️ Safety Warning  
+Always disconnect power before wiring.  
+Working on live EtherCAT terminals can cause serious damage or electrical shock.
+
+---
+
+#### 3.2.1 Safe Wiring Procedure (Beckhoff Recommended)
+
+1. Insert a screwdriver **straight** into the square release hole.  
+2. Insert the stripped wire into the round opening.  
+3. Remove the screwdriver — the spring clamp locks the wire.
+
+![](../assets/wiring.png)
+
+---
+
+#### 3.2.2 Wiring Steps (Used in This Example)
+
+We supply power using a **DC hollow-plug adapter**, like this one:  
+https://www.amazon.de/dp/B093FTFZ8Q
+
+Perform the following wiring on the EK1100:
+
+1. Red wire **(+24 V)** → Terminal **2**  
+2. Black wire **(0 V)** → Terminal **3**  
+3. Jumper wire from **Terminal 1 → Terminal 6**  
+4. Jumper wire from **Terminal 5 → Terminal 7**  
+
+After wiring, your module should look like **Figure 1**.

+# Performance/Stability Tweaks 
+## EtherCrab Config
+We set ethercrab to default settings for everything except for RetryBehaviour, so that one unlikely failure doesnt destroy the EtherCAT network.
+
+```rust
+    let maindevice = MainDevice::new(
+        pdu,
+        Timeouts {
+            // Default 5000ms
+            state_transition: Duration::from_millis(5000),
+            // Default 30_000us
+            pdu: Duration::from_micros(30_000),
+            // Default 10ms
+            eeprom: Duration::from_millis(10),
+            // Default 0ms
+            wait_loop_delay: Duration::from_millis(0),
+            // Default 100ms
+            mailbox_echo: Duration::from_millis(100),
+            // Default 1000ms
+            mailbox_response: Duration::from_millis(1000),

+            // Default 10_000
+            dc_static_sync_iterations: 10_000,
+        },
+    );
+
+```
+wait_loop_delay CAN in theory also decrease CPU usage if set exactly as the loop_delay we set, however this setting has caused us some issues, so we just leave it as is.
+
+## Realtime Kernel
+In our nixOs Config we use the latest realtime kernel and isolate TWO cores out of the Four available for the machines we use.
+
+```nix
+ #From configuration.nix
+ boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
+ boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages-rt_latest;
+ boot.kernelModules = [ "i915" ];
+```
+
+Notice how we hardcode the intel gpu kernel module. This is because only the GPU driver gets blacklisted for some reason. By specifying it manually it loads like before.
+
+One Core is used for the EtherCrab TXRX Thread and one is used for the machine Thread. 
+```
+    "isolcpus=2,3" # Isolate cpus 2 and 3 from scheduler for better latency, 2 runs ethercatthread and 3 runs server control-loop
+    "nohz_full=2,3" # In this mode, the periodic scheduler tick is stopped when only one task is running, reducing kernel interruptions on those CPUs.
+    "rcu_nocbs=2,3" # Moves RCU (Read-Copy Update) callback processing away from CPUs 2 and 3.
+```
+
+Essentially we completely disable acces from the operating system to these two cpus, which saves scheduler overhead, which would introduce noticable latency.
+Its not entirely clear yet if what we did here is overkill. Maybe we could use only one core and get away with that?
+Processor load normally hovers around 18% for one of the cores and like 9% for the other.
+
+We also have some minor cpu tweaks in configuration.nix
+```
+    # Graphical
+    "logo.nologo" # Remove kernel logo during boot
+
+    # Performance
+
+    # Specific Vulnerabilities Addressed by Mitigations:
+    # - Spectre variants (V1, V2, V4, SWAPGS, SpectreRSB, etc.)
+    # - Meltdown (Rogue Data Cache Load)
+    # - Foreshadow/L1TF (L1 Terminal Fault)
+    # - Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS, RIDL, Fallout, ZombieLoad)
+    # - SRBDS (Special Register Buffer Data Sampling)
+    # - TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA)

+    # With mitigations=off
+    # - PROS: Maximum performance, equivalent to pre-2018 behavior
+    # - CONS: Vulnerable to Spectre, Meltdown, Foreshadow, ZombieLoad, etc.
+    #         Should ONLY be used in completely trusted environments
+    # - Improves performance by 7-43%
+    "mitigation=off"
+    "intel_pstate=performance"    # Intel CPU-specific performance mode (if applicable)
+
+    # Memory Management
+    "transparent_hugepage=always" # Use larger memory pages for memory intense applications
+    "nmi_watchdog=0"              # Disable NMI watchdog for reduced CPU overhead and realtime execution
+
+    # High-throughput ethernet parameters
+    "pcie_aspm=off"         # Disable PCIe power management for NICs
+    "intel_iommu=off"       # Disable IOMMU (performance gain)
+
+    # Reliability
+    "panic=10"              # Auto-reboot 10 seconds after kernel panic
+    "oops=panic"            # Treat kernel oops as panic for auto-recovery
+    "usbcore.autosuspend=-1"     # Possibly fixes dre disconnect issue?
+```
+
+We should check if its really required to turn mitigations off as well.
+
+## Rust Code Optimizations
+
+In General we try to avoid memory allocations in our loop as much as possible, as it is not deterministic
+
+One problem we found, is that due to the realtime kernel our ethernet driver caused us quite large spikes in our tx_rx cycle time for EtherCAT.
+These spikes happen when CPU Load is very high on the two usable cores, causing the interrupt handler for Ethernet to stall.
+
+Which is why we reassign the interrupt handler on startup to the same core that the EtherCatTxRx Thread runs on:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
+match set_irq_affinity(&interface, 3) {
+      Ok(_) => tracing::info!("ethernet interrupt handler now runs on cpu:{}", 3),
+      Err(e) => tracing::error!("set_irq_affinity failed: {:?}", e),
+}
+// Set core affinity to 4th core
+let _ = set_core_affinity(3);
+
+// Set the thread to real-time priority
+let _ = set_realtime_priority();
+```
+This means that the Interrupt Handler ALWAYS has enough ressources to cope with our demand for realtime communication with EtherCAT
+
+
+One Problem we have at the moment (we think) is the locking and async code blocking our server loop. 
+Note that this doesnt affect the EtherCAT communication at all.
+
+## Electron Optimizations (Not Yet Implemented)
+
+Currently we are struggling with the fact, that apparently Electron doesnt really have good support for HW acceleration on Linux.
+Electron runs with the software-renderer, which is VERY slow compared to a gpu. 
+This would eliminate the weird stuttering seen on Graphs and make them run buttery smooth, while also alleviating load off of the CPU.

+# Device Implementation Guide
+
+This section describes how to implement EtherCAT devices in the framework used by the QiTech Control project (via `ethercat-hal`, `server`, etc.). We include a running example of a simple digital output device (EL2004) and discuss how it fits into the larger architecture.
+
+## Architecture & Context
+
+The QiTech Control system is built as:
+
+- `ethercat-hal` / `ethercat-hal-derive`: Hardware abstraction, PDO / CoE handling, device traits.  
+- `server`: Glue code that reads device identities, instantiates the correct device types, performs CoE configuration, and runs cyclic process data.  
+- The `docs` directory documents APIs and device patterns.  
+  :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}  
+
+In this architecture:
+
+1. During initialization, subdevice identity tuples (Vendor ID, Product ID, Revision) are read.
+2. The `server` matches identity tuples to concrete `Device` types and constructs them (via `NewEthercatDevice`).
+3. The device instance then handles PDO exchange, and optional CoE (configuration) writes.
+4. Higher-level application code interacts with devices via traits like `DigitalOutputDevice`, `DigitalInputDevice`, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Example: Simple Digital Output Device (EL2004)
+
+Below is a minimal example of a digital-output-only EtherCAT device. It shows how to map PDOs, implement traits, and define identity constants.

+- **Axes:** 2-axis measurement
+- **Polling Rate:** Every 16 ms
+- **Measurement Rate:** 320 measurements per second (manufacturer specification)
+- **Measurement Type:** Diameter measurement | X/Y Axis width
+
+---
+
+## Operation
+
+### Polling
+The device **polls the diameter every 16 milliseconds**, ensuring near real-time data acquisition for precise monitoring.
+
+### Measurement
+According to the manufacturer, the Laser DRE can measure the diameter **320 times per second**, providing high-resolution data for process control and analysis.
+
+### Axes
+The device is capable of measuring across **two axes**, allowing for comprehensive profiling of the object’s diameter and shape.
+
+---
+
+## Communication Protocol
+
+The device uses **Modbus RTU** over the USB Serial connection. Key points for communication:
+
+- **Master/Slave Model:** The Laser DRE acts as a Modbus slave device.
+- **Function Codes:** Supports standard Modbus RTU function codes for reading measurements.
+- **Data Format:** Diameter measurements are transmitted in the format specified by the manufacturer (consult the device manual for exact register addresses and scaling).
+
+---
+
+## Settings
+
+The device includes a small display that allows changing several operational settings:
+
+- **Unit:**
+  The laser can operate in **millimeters (mm)** or **inches (in)**.
+  Our software uses **millimeters**.
+
+- **Alarm:**
+  The laser can emit an audible alarm if the measured diameter is out of tolerance.
+  ⚠️ **Note:** The tolerance settings on the laser may differ from the tolerance configured in our software.
+
+- **Communication:**
+  Several communication parameters can be configured:
+  - **Set UART:** Configure **parity (8N1)** and **baud rate (38400)**.
+  - **Set Protocol:** Choose the communication protocol. *(We use **Modbus RTU**.)*
+  - **Set Slave Address:** The slave address of our laser is **1**.
+
+- **Calibration:**
+  The laser can be calibrated using **4 mm** and **8 mm** reference rods.

+
+![datasheet header illustration](/images/manuals/winder/datasheet/header.png)
+
+Short description:
+
+The QiTech Pro Winder is a machine for winding and rewinding 3D printing filaments and other strand materials. It is an improvement upon the proven QiTech Winder with support for multiple filament diameters, spools up to 5 kg, angular speeds up to 20 m/min and automatic adjustment of the winding speed depending on the filament tension.
+
+It consists of a pulling unit, a tension arm, a filament guiding traverse and the spool axis. It is controlled by a computer using the QiTech Control software. The traverse movement ensures a clean wind of the filament on the spool. Automatic load adjustment allows for tight winding without having to manually readjust the winding speed each layer. A laser in the traverse allows for easy calibration of the spool width.

+
+## Requirements of the Spool
+
+The QiTech Pro Winder is compatible with almost all spools. The spool is rotated by a Carrier-Pin and secured against lateral slipping by a quick release mechanism. The maximum spool weight is 5 kg.
+
+![min/max spool dimensions](/images/manuals/winder/datasheet/spool-min-max.png)
+
+<br>
+
+## Winding Speed
+
+How many meters of filament can be wound per minute at maximum speed depends on the inner diameter of the spool/how much filament has already been wound. The resulting path speed determines how much filament can be wound up in a given time. We take a usual spool with an inner diameter of 100 mm to calculate an expected maximum speed. If the inner diameter is larger, the maximum speed shifts upwards.
+
+Winding Speed:
+
+- Min.: 0.5 Meters/Minute
+- Max.: 20 Meters/Minute
+
+<br>
+
+## Friction of the puller rolls
+
+Since the diameter of the extruded filament depends primarily on the pulling speed of the Pro Winder, it is important that it remains constant. This is ensured on the one hand by the use of a stepper motor as drive. At the same time, a vulcanized PU coating of the rolls and a spring-increased contact pressure make the filament only slip through from approx. 30 N tension.
+
+<br>
+
+## Auto-Stop function
+
+When extruding or rewinding, it is often the case that a specific amount of meters must be wound onto a spool. The QiTech Pro Winder has an integrated filament length measurement. For example, after 100 m, it can automatically switch from "wind" to "pull" mode. In addition, the operator is alerted acoustically that the spool has finished winding.

+**Understanding Padding**
+
+The **padding** parameter creates a safety margin that prevents the filament from winding too close to the spool edges. When you set the inner and outer limits during calibration, the padding value is automatically subtracted from the actual travel distance.
+
+**How padding works:**
+
+- When you have a 1.75mm diameter filament and the traverse moves to a flank position, the **center** of the filament aligns with that flank
+- If you set 1mm padding, the system automatically maintains at least 1mm distance from the flanks
+- This prevents the filament from overlapping or winding beyond the spool edges
+
+**Example:**
+
+- Outer limit: 90mm, Inner limit: 22mm
+- Padding: 1mm
+- **Actual winding area:** 89mm to 23mm (reduced by 1mm on each side)
+- This ensures the filament stays within the spool boundaries with a safe margin
+
+The default padding is 0.88mm, but you can adjust this value in the Control settings based on your filament diameter and winding requirements. Larger filaments may require more padding, while smaller filaments can use less padding for maximum spool utilization.

+# Ethercat Tab shows no Ethercat Terminals!
+
+When the Ethercat page does not show any terminals, this can be due to multiple reasons
+
+## 1: Incorrect Connection of EK1100
+
+Check that the computers ethernet cable is properly connected to the EK1100 IN port
+
+Check the cabling if more than one EK1100 is used.
+When you have multiple EK the connection should be like this:
+
+Master (Your pc) -> Ethernet cable -> IN EK1100 (A)
+
+OUT EK1100 (A) -> Ethernet cable -> IN EK1100 (B)
+
+If you connected any part of this incorrectly the ethercat software will try to communicate but will fail, because the protocol works only if all devices are connect in series.
+
+## 2: Defective EtherCAT Terminal
+
+If a Terminal is somehow defective it can disrupt the communication flow expected by EtherCAT thus causing no devices to show up, as ethercat requires all terminals to work properly.
+
+To identify the defective terminal start unplugging terminals starting from the End terminal. Working your way backwards. Every time you unplug a terminal restart the backend process.
+
+You know that you have removed the defective terminal when the ethercat tab shows devices after your restart.
+
+Replace that terminal with an appropriate one and repeat this if the error persists.
+
+## 3: Corrupt Firmware on EtherCAT Terminal
+
+Another reason, that an Ethercat Terminal doesnt work properly, is that the firmware is corrupt. This could happen due to overvoltage,undervoltage or shorts, in some cases this is recoverable by reflashing the firmware.
+
+Our repository contains dumps for all of the EtherCAT Terminals, that we have used. To upload the firmware you can follow this guide: https://infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/ethercatsystem/402909835.html&id=
+
+To follow this guide, you need to have TwinCat installed and a License.
+
+# Motor does not start!
+
+If the Motor does not start after trying to talk to the inverter, the most common reason is that the inverter's serial connection settings (baudrate,encoding ...) are incorrect.
+
+The correct settings can be found in mitsubishi_inverter.md under `All Settings needed for the Inverter Communication/Operation with Extruder`
