Work with probe

edit: formatting gone properly wonky, will re-post (please delete)

Can anyone help with the error I'm getting? A quick sanity check of what I'm trying to do (probe_screen_v2.8 on linuxcnc 2.10) is probably worthwhile, I'm struggling to understand what's current and compatible. 

I think it's related to this line:

It seems to be missing files change_prolog and change_epilog, but I don't see them in the repo .

Probe Screen v2.9 update has been released:
- Designed for LinuxCNC v 2.9
- Supports Axis and Gmoccapy interfaces and screens from 1280x1024
- Supports metric and imperial

Do I understand correctly, this is just an adapted latest version 2.8? With remote disabling of tool metering?

Yes, this is an adapted latest version 2.8.

With remote disabling of tool metering?

Probe Screen allows the tool length to be automatically measured during g-code execution when an M6 command is encountered. The user will only have to remove the old one and install the new cutter in the designated place. Remap of M6 is required in .ini. If you don't need this feature, just don't remap M6  in .ini

I did not understand the answer. I use a tool in the cone of the BT40, measure it once and then do not measure it every time. Should I change the ini file every time? Now I use a self-adapted old version with the M6 REMAP checkbox, where I turn on measurements if necessary. Why was this removed from the new version, why make the software worse?

It's clear. Thank you. I'll think about how to get the checkboxes back.

I have tried to make it work in LCN2.9 but it has not been possible, I don't know if it is because this instruction is wrong:
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= gladevcp -c probe -x {XID} -u psng/python/probe_screen.py -H psng/psng.hal psng/probe_screen.glade

The TAB is created to appear blank and from what I see it does not load anything.
 
 

Hey,

I'm trying to use the 2.9 Version from the repo with linux-cnc 2.9.2, but when I press a button I always get the message "Failed to find sub "opsng_functioname' before EOF", for example when I press the x- button "Failed to find sub 'Opsng_xminus' before EOF".
I placed the folders /python & /psng into my configuration folder as stated in the instructions, but it seems I made a mistake somewhere?

//Edit: nevermind - I had the [RS274NGC] part twice in my ini, so it simply didn't see the PSNG stuff - my bad.

Besides this I have two different probes: one probe touch probe which issues a high signal when pressed, and the tool-setter issues a low when pressed. Does anyone know how I could malke usage of both of them? Normaly linux cnc seems to only support one probe-input and I would need to inverse the logic when changing the probes.

Kind regards

When I comment out the remap instruction in the INI, I can make the tool change, but if I uncomment the error always appears: Linear move on line 31 Would exceed Zs positive limit and invalid params in linear command
