esab ultrarex retro fit plasma / flame cutter

hi i cannot seem to get emc to find my sub routines i have made a folder in the machines config folder and have added the line

SUBROUTINE_PATH = /home/profiler/linuxcnc/configs/ESAB_ULTRAREX_UXD-P_2000/subroutines

to my ini file before the program prefix line i just get unable to open file

any clues?

No I'll move that line to there

Is there anybody around the Sheffield england area willing to give some Paid help
I need to get this finished and running as we've lost some jobs now due to it being out of action just tuning and checking of calibration, and generally working the kinks out

shot of the hal scope as requested on the irc

also thanks for the moving of the subroutines line spot on now torch comes down settles and then fires

a little tweak of FF1 to center the ferror
during cruise is probably in order
(average looks about 1/4 of a division low during cruise)

After that, looks like some 'I' would pull in the slow ramps
of ferror during accel and deccel
(and get rid of the static ferror at the beginning)

Thanks pcw if found after some reading and testing that my drives don't respond around 0.15 etherside of zero would you think the inverse deadband comp should work?

i have tryed some i and every time i try usless im not trying small enough numbers it throws the whole ferror off constant and all so what would help i read in another post about ff3 maybe ill post another chart tommorrow when i get chance to get back of the machine the ferror is closer now tho

hi again everyone im having problems trying to link the input status of the mesa cards inputs to my pyvcp panel all i want is to show arc on and arc transfer if i try to link the d-in or d-out signals in my postgui.hal file i get the error that this is already linked and the same if i link direct to the mesa pins ie in the postgui file if i use hm2_5i20.0.gpio.034.in it will complain the same ive even tryed using the mesa input direct in the xml of the pyvcp panel but still it doesnt work

i know this will be something simple but i cannot bottom this

many thanks john
