LinuxCNC job data storage

Hi,

I'm trying to write an algorithm based on real data from milling jobs. I was wondering if LinuxCNC stores all that data somewhere. I have all the gcode. But I'm thinking that each time that the machine mills something, LinuxCNC should generate a log that records when the job started/ended, the spindle speed, if any error occurred, etc. I've found that the settings are stored in linuxcnc-configs, but where is all the job data? The machine was set up using LinuxCNC Stepconf Wizard. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!!

LinuxCNC should generate a log that records when the job started/ended, the spindle speed, if any error occurred, etc.

It does not. Nor will you have read anything that says it does.

There are various posts on the forum regards job timings etc that can be applied additionally.

Is this something like what your asking for?

I never completely finished getting it to work like I'd like it, then priorities changed. But maybe it might give you some ideas.

Ahh thank you... Been looking everywhere and not finding anything. Thanks for confirming. So I'll need additional sensors and processor to get any real time job data? I was thinking at least LinuxCNC would generate an error message when an accident happen, e.g. the tool bit ran into the workstation?

Yes recording start/end time sounds like a good start. Will look into it. Thank you!

So I followed the instruction and added the python file to where my ini file was. Then added loadusr -W ./timelog.py to the hal file. When I started LinuxCNC I got this error msg:

execv(./timelog.py): Permission denied
./timelog.py exited without becoming ready

Any idea why it happened? Did you get anything like this? Thank you so much!!

go to the file and make it executable, this is not done by default in linux

That fixed it. Thank you!

I use an AXIS GUI. I found some useful info from Machine --> Show LinuxCNC Status. I know that it's a python program called linuxcnctop that pulls all the info. But I can't execute linuxcnctop.py in terminal or find the program that calls linuxcnctop. What I want to do is to automatically log the info pulled by linuxcnctop.py and generate a .txt. Any thoughts? I'm really new to this so any comment will be helpful
