Livestream Discussing LinuxCNC and MTConnect 27 July 2026 11:00am GMT+10

Yes its pretty cool. His repo is here  github.com/sliptonic/linuxcnc/tree/feature/mtconnect-agent
I've added this link to the video description (and installed it on my machine including a Home Assistant panel)
I have asked in another thread if anybody has a 3 axis vismach model we could use in our PR to linuxCNC

The next step is to discuss with the devs how best to package this. My thought is to have a userspace driver that you added to your Hal file something like: Because all parameters are contained in the ini file, I think this approach will require passing the ini file name to the driver.
 

I've already found the repo, but it would be better if it were separate from the LinuxCNC source—that's what I meant by having its own repo.

It would also be cool if you could pass in additional HAL signals, like sensors or 'door-open' inputs.

EDIT:

My first AI project (A simple status page for MTConnect): 
github.com/multigcs/riocore/blob/dev/rio...nect/files/stat.html

to test it, you can simply overwrite the twin.html file with it.

 

Thats pretty cool. I'll give it a go. If you have Home Assistant it was dead simple to publish this
 

In fact it was stupid simple once I enabled mqtt which I already had on my server (A pi4b Ive been running for years), it was done for me.

He's done a really great job with his MTconnect;
it works perfectly, so I integrated it directly into my riocore system as a plugin.
It would be nice if there were a dedicated repository for it.

There is a PR submitted now into LinuxCNC's core. It would be great if you could add your feedback there  github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/4318
