QTDragon operation notes

Logs - attempt 2... I think I need to rename the files from .log to something else...

 

 

 

Hi all,

Some more notes:

I began to translate some MACH3 code to LinuxCNC, but I’ve hit more issues with the QTDragon GUI. There are some unknown g-codes, so I get this Error Message “unknown g-codes”, but I don’t get the line number nor the bad gcode… Not even a hint of where to look!

The horizontal slide G-code panel doesn’t allow for long lines, therefore, lines truncated.

How do I get LinuxCNC/ QTDragon to save the Fixture on exit, and restore it when restarting?

How do I get LinuxCNC/ QTDragon to save the last job folder, and restore it when restarting?

Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Kind regards
Pedro 

Linuxcnc should save the coordinates in a file ending in .var but that might be different in qtdragon
I did a bit of digging and there is a python command task_plan_sync() that saves the state.
Search for it here

It might be possible for qtdragon to call this when offsets are saved on the probe screen or when the zero offsets is pressed.
Perhaps post the idea in the qtvcp section where it will be seen by the right people and refer to this thread.
Also look at adding  position.txt  to your ini file under [TRAJ] that may help.

I did agree making the folder sticky to the last wuld be a good idea. Raise it too.
