@tcbmetalworks, focus on the features you like to have.
I'm sure it will spark some interest when you show us.

Proposal to improve forum stability and structure

Category: Forum Questions

The OS is Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-216-generic x86_64)

JT

surprise
Let me check... I see. Quoting
www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/BTOP_-_Moni...nux_system_resources

"btop is the successor to bashtop and bpytop and provides a modern, resource-efficient interface for monitoring system resources such as CPU, memory, network, and processes."

and

"On Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, btop is already included in the standard repository."

So I guess that explains why you don't have btop available.

Maybe install btop, then you can watch a lot more stuff, including network and disk usage. When I learned of btop, I pretty much dropped using top because btop is sorta nice. sudo apt install btop

hope that helps

Proposal to improve forum stability and structure

Category: Forum Questions

Log in to SSH, start "top" and monitor CPU usage and see if "log" appears often near the top of the screen.
If high CPU usage and no logs = DDOS
If both = brute force = someone trying to find user passwords using automated software
-
We had no brute force for quite a while as the result of that was the influx of existing member accounts being hijacked and used to post spam.
Or also possible, users using stronger passwords so much harder to crack. This is highly likely as nowadays wherever you register there are several warnings to use stronger mixed passwords.
 

The CPU usage is back to normal right now.

It really seems to me like you are confusing what QtPlasmaC does and what the conversational inside of QtPlasmaC does.

QtPlasmaC does control the Z axis on its own, with exceptions being things like turning the THC on and off via g-code.

QtPlasmaC does not add lead-ins
QtPlasmaC does use the material feed rates


QtPlasmaC Conversational can add lead-ins if you so choose. It is also set up so that the material you have selected when creating the conversational file will be the material used for the generated g-code, thus using its feed rates.


QtPlasmaC is not a CAM package at all. Nor was its included conversational intended to be a replacement for a good plasma CAM package. It's there for convenience only.

This kindof makes a mess if you want to use sheet cam or something similar.

I suspect this view point to be a result of your inexperience with Plasma cutting. I create all of my cut jobs using g-code provided by SheetCAM. It's not a mess at all, and allows for great control of cutting.

aswell as theres not really a great way to run sheetcam via linux as far a i know.

Is the download link at the bottom of this link too convenient?
sheetcamshop.myshopify.com/pages/download-sheetcam

SheetCAM in Linux works fine.

I still use RTAI - not on cnc comp so I don't remember the version (likely one from 2023 or 2024)

retrofit of an existing CNC - tool sensor and 3d probe

Category: CNC Machines

oh yes, nice thank you. I did search for it but as usual, internal search did not like my keywords.

Thanks man, i will read through. My goal is to finish the primary portal CNC retrofit and to finally build my large custom 4 Axis wirecutter ;) But before I delve into that i want to have flushed out the processes and issues on the cnc and mesa and linuxcnc to fully understand everything.

BTW: What helps most if I basically have concrete issues. Shall i share configuration files or something? I don't want to dump blindly stuff ;D

Is this QTPlasmac Expected behaviour - Cycle Start and Jog disabled.

Category: Plasmac

-what should i monitor for the issue where the machine moves to a cut position and just stays there? This happens sometimes even when doing a manual cut where pressing F9 shows the machine running on screen but nothing moves. DRO does not change, machine state does. Again this happens a lot on QtPlasmaC, do not recall this happening on PlasmaC so might be a QT thing.

Again, I'd want to know if motion.eoffset-limited goes true when this occurs. I am also curious what state it's stuck in, so I would want you to turn on plasmac.debug-print before starting any cutting, etc. and copy and paste the terminal output from when it hung up.



The following commit will catch any commanded motion that would put the offending axis outside of the eoffset limits (soft limits) - this precludes you from having to monitor motion.eoffset-limited:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/d179...e54c97ccc2bc0c58bf34

The following commit will catch any z-motion state transition issues (z-motion stalls in the same state for more than 3 seconds):
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/e2f0...30feba767f8588b2f28e

If you should encounter either of these error messages, please comment here with a recent backup of your QtPlasmaC config made from the SETTINGS tab, and the g-code file you were attempting to cut.

QtPlasmaC updates - Master (v2.10):
  • update tooltips to included missing GUI elements and remove duplicate translations
  • fix RFL string comparisons
  • fix interlock for Material Parameters
  • add z-motion watchdog to GUI to catch any state-change hang ups not caught by monitoring motion.eoffset-limited
PlasmaC updates - Master (v2.10):

Considering a Full Rewire on a Working Schaublin 125 CNC

Category: Turning

I’m not sure how many encoders it showed on that page, I will confirm tomorrow. And thanks for the idea with the dummy config.
I will try getting it running tomorrow.

If I run discovery on a 7i92t_7i85x2d config I get:

 

with all 4 encoders on P2

Does pncconf show2 all 8 encoders on the configuration page? like this:

 


( These should be adjusted to the actual number required to avoid wasted transfer/processing time)


For the 7I83 I suspect the easiest current way to add the hal interface code is to make a dummy configuration
for a 7I77 configuration and copy paste the analog hal an analog section from that as an example
(changing the 7i77 name to 7i83 and the sserial channel number as required)

Also, from time to time the forum has high CPU usage that slows down the forum but I don't know why.

DDOS and "brute force" attacks, from what i gathered.
 

Just got another one from 9:03 to 10:40 Central time.
