PnCConf Wizard doesn't launch

What? Pncconf is broken? that blows.

Time to check JT's stuff out. I have another plasma machine next week to do.

Anything else broken we need to know about?

IS 2.8 QTplasmac updated to latest or we need master for that?
 

could install from *.Deb files of previous buildbot installs too.... that is how I am upgrading to test and downgrade to run stuff.... not happy about changes but heyho such is a development release and the nature of old applications no longer being supported.....

Hi all,

Thank you for the responses. I have used our old computer which is currently driving the plasma cutter to make up configuration files using PnCConf. I will copy them to the new computer and manually edit the ini and hal files, that is for us the path of least trouble.

We are going from using a parallel port setup to the MESA ethernet setup, and I see in the hal files pin and signal names we are not familiar with. Is there a document somewhere which explains which pin/signal does what ? That will be a great help to understand the workings of the hal files for the MESA card.

Cheers, Peter

There are sim configs included with LinuxCNC for Mesa boards, have a look at those as a starting point.

All the sims for Mesa look like very old cards like 5i20 era. I don't see any for the newer cards.

Hi all,

I have manually set up .ini and .hal files to create a basic machine, and I wanted to run PlasmaC/QtPlasmaC configurator. But if I read the QtPlasmaC user guide then QtPlasmaC is now setup with the PnCConf Wizard, which is the very thing that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do now ?

Cheers, Peter
