I’m sorry I didn't write right away. I got sick. There are no errors anymore. I wrote the name of the ini file incorrectly. All the same, Lcd doesn't work. What else could it be?

There is another error in the log...
2019/12/12 10:32:03.935,20223,1,emcinterface.cpp:302,Error,hidcomp,EmcInterface,The size of the EMC_STAT buffer mismatches. This is probably because hidcomp is not compiled for it.

That means the binaries for hidcomp have been compiled against a different version of linuxcnc.

You'll need to re-compile hidcomp against the source code of linuxcnc you are running against.

Recompiled linuxcnc 2.6 from source. Version hidcomp 1.7. I still get this error if I enter "net relative-x halui.axis.0.pos-relative => hidcomp.0.LCD.in-float-1". Everything else works well (buttons, encoders, joysticks). Looks like something in pathpilot is blocking the output of FLOAT data. Is there any other way to output data to lcd?

Just clarifying - you still get this error? - "The size of the EMC_STAT buffer mismatches. This is probably because hidcomp is not compiled for it."

If that is the case, you need to compile hidcomp against the same linuxcnc source code that your are running - that is, the path pilot linuxcnc source? Are doing that?

I can’t compile Hidcomp 1.7 for LINUXCNC - 2.6.0~pre. I get an error. For LINUXCNC - 2.6.0 it compiles well, but the Pathpilot is built on LINUXCNC - 2.6.0~pre.

I've created a new branch in the hidcomp repository called v2.6, which should work with your version - I wasn't able to get a copy of v2.6.0~pre, only v2.6.0~pre1, which should be close enough.

I'm assuming you built from the source from github.com/ftkalcevic/hidcomp

Just refresh the source code - git pull
Then switch branches - git checkout v2.6
And follow the build instructions (probably just make clean, then make).

If you didn't get it from there, clone the repository - git clone github.com/ftkalcevic/hidcomp.git
Then switch branches, etc

I've compiled the code, but don't have a test system to run on.

There is a big difference between 2.6.0 ~ pre and 2.6.0 ~ pre1. I could compile 2.6.0 ~ pre1 earlier without errors. Here is a direct link to 2.6.0~pre

Thank you for your patience and work.

There is another branch in my repository, v2.6.0-pre0

This wasn't build against the link you gave me - the contents of the VERSION file in the root directory says 2.5.0~pre

So I ended up getting the repository from the commit that changed VERSION - git checkout 6f3211f6795c3744c088097be00a851f776f67ff .

That required changes - going from linuxcnc back to emc.

(I lost my change history moving from sourceforge to github).

Recompiled. In linuxcnc everything works. In the Pathpilot I get an error.

Ok, finally some progress...

The issue was the source code for the tormach machines is a fork of the linuxcnc source at about 2.6. They have their own repository (somewhere) where they have been updating some of the core changes from the linuxcnc repository.

So, to get hidcomp to work, you need to build against the tormach source. Luckily, there is an tar file available with tormach version 1.8.2 - forum.linuxcnc.org/pathpilot/29983-notes...ot-1-8-2-source-code

1.8.2 appears to be compatible - my simple lcd test worked with X/Z position, spindle rpm, feed rate.

Use the v2.6 branch of hidcomp.
