integrating this hal file that takes into account read errors...

I just discovered that I have NOT put in the above .h file in my build tree. Dumb old man. That might be my problem with the config string treatment. I will see about a rebuild and test run yet tonight.

Hello All,

First off thank you for posting your experiences here! I received a new RPi4 with active cooling case last week and worked this weekend to get it up and running. I copied over a running config from the previous controller and it needed conversion which was done automagically. The machine moves and seems to run well. Jog works fine when using the keyboard cursor keys but the pyvcp jog panel component no longer works. I fired up the HAL Meter and checked that all the halui.axis variables are set correctly and they are. I'm scratching my head.

Oh, I built both the kernel and LCNC from source. Used current github.com/linuxcnc master branch.

This machine uses a 7i92, an MX4660 for the stepper driver and is a dual X gantry which uses the gantry component. Any ideas as to what I'm missing?

Thank you, Joe

Can you show the output from running linuxcnc from the command line?

I suspect that there is a library missing that PyVCP needs.

Here you go. First with ini DEBUG=0 then DEBUG=7 on 2nd. In both cases I powered up then attempted to jog.
