If you are not using QtDragon, please tell us which you are using, so we can answer more precisely.

Thank you for your reply.
I have the qtdragon GUI working, but the probe status does not change when I touch the probe.
Using the ./parport_CD00.demo program, I can see the pin (P12) state change.
I have setup stepconf to P12 = Probe_in.
BTW, each time I use stepconf it changes the GUI back to axia, do you know how to stop that?
Kind regards

I depending on what version of linuxcnc, qtdragon may have a HAL pin that must be connected.
Can you post your config files and what version of linuxcnc are you using?

I'm sorry, I'm on the very steep edge of the learning curve.
I was using (I think it's called) Axis.
Kind regards

Ok you would need to make a VCP panel with an LED to represent the probe state.
Usually pyvcp is used with AXIS to make simple VCP. Gladevcp and qtvcp can also be used if you have a more complicated panel in mind.

Hi all,
After trying a few different GUIs, I'm focused on the QtDragon.
I'm attempting to do some fine tuning. Probe - the input is configured, and it operates as expected with G38.2.
I want to get the GUI "Probe LED" to operate. The instructions say (in the HAL section)-
Kind regards
Pedro

Does anyone know the syntax, and which file this needs to be entered into?This input pin should be connected to indicate probe state.
qtdragon.led-probe
Kind regards

Must be a new feature so I'll have to add it. Something like this
Where lcec.0.3.in-06 is my EtherCAT input pin the probe is attached to.
net probe-sig <= lcec.0.3.in-06
net probe-sig => motion.probe-input
net probe-sig => qtdragon.led-probe
Where lcec.0.3.in-06 is my EtherCAT input pin the probe is attached to.
