It is added as per installation instructions.
You think the [RS274NGC] thing might help?

EDIT:
this is already in .ini

Code:

[RS274NGC]
FEATURES=30

After further inspection I've noticed I have doubled the [RS274NGC] section.
I have moved all the entries to the first one and removed the second one.
This has solved the previous issues.

andypugh, thank you for your input.

Unfortunately i've run into another issue. My probe isn't working.
Let me explain: the mechanical probe works just fine, the digital input also...
but for some reason axis no longer reacts to the probe being tripped, neither the probe screen.
My probe is defined in .hal as follows:

Code:

net probe-in        <= parport.0.pin-12-in-not

Complete .hal file:

You need another "end" to your probe signal.

Code:

net probe-in motion.probe-in

andypugh, thanks for your help. I in fact was missing that line in the config. :pinch: I have no idea how it got removed since it IS present in the source config which I used (and tested beforehand) for this installation. I have added this line back and the probe is operational again!

The probe screen works like a charm now. Thank you!

I was testing this routine about 3 months ago and had to disable it because it was messing with normal functionality in LinuxCNC. I don't remember now what specific issue it was causing but it sounds like you guys have been doing more work so I'm happy to also test it again. I love this little routine but it just had a few issues when I was last testing it. So where do I get the updated code for it? Is this original download at the top of this thread being updated or do I get it elsewhere?
