I was just working on a mdi command, so it was easy to have a look at this in FlexGui.
Starting with G0G55X0Y0

Then pressing the button with MDI command

and it goes to G0G54X0Y0

the subroutine:

o<work_zero> sub
G90 G54 G0 X0 Y0
o<work_zero> endsub [1]

Linux is case sensitive.

Here is a piece of code from mesaflash:

access.device_name[i] = toupper(access.device_name[i]);

Device names are converted to upper case automatically.

DIY CNC Mill - Random Limit Switch Errors

Wow, that's a lot to take in. I may have a ground loop to the machine frame. There is a ground wire in the spindle cable that is grounded to the motor frame, which is in contact with the rest of the mill. But I also do have a ground wire on the frame going to the ground bus in the breaker box. I will remove that.

There is continuity from the BOB end of the parallel cable to the PC when the PC power is disconnected, so it probably is shielded.

I currently have all the grounds and shielding grounds running to the ground bus in the breaker box. Are you saying this is causing issues? What would be the BOB's frame ground?

I have most of the electronics mounted to a piece of sheet metal, which is connected to main ground by the green/yellow terminal block by the contactor. Should I not do this?

@Mark

Andys Marcos are great, but i think its something different. you only can do one task at a time as far as i know, right?

@aDm1N
You said in your last post "as far as I know, LinuxCNC doesn’t really offer something like this out of the box." That confuses me, because I already wrote about NativeCAM on the previous page. You didn’t respond to it specifically, but I simply assumed that you were already familiar with it. It’s possible that you overlooked it or that you just don’t like the tool. both are perfectly fine. However, if you simply missed it:NativeCAM does exactly what SIEMENS ShopTurn does. You write your program directly on the machine, editable and with a preview.The only thing is that the contour function was never fully completed back then and would need to be added by someone who can program. It’s called “Polyline” and already exists in milling, where it works perfectly. It just hasn’t been implemented for turning yet:

calling subroutine from G54, G55, G56, but it acts weird

Category: O Codes (subroutines) and NGCGUI

sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but it seemed appropriate.
i think i found a bug with subroutine calls

Conditions:

set up a pyvcp button to call an MDI_COMMAND

Set fixgure offsets for G54, G55

remain in G55 X0 Y0 and issue:

MDI_COMMAND = G0 G90 G54 X0 Y0

and that will work fine

Go back to G55 active offset at X0 Y0 and change the command to call a subroutine

MDI_COMMAND = o<work_zero> call

will fail not executing the subroutine command and sit at G55 zero

i tested this in both axis and flexgui with the exact same results

####### SUBROUTINE #######
o<work_zero> sub
G90 G54 G0 X0 Y0
o<work_zero> endsub

m2
#######

if you are still in G55 at X0 Y0 and issue

G0 G90 G54 X0 Y0 from the mdi command line it will go to G54 X0 Y0 also

Hello everyone.
I tried using easyprobe on my CNC router, I installed it according to Talla83's video, but when calibrating, the following message appears: "probe is already activated" when starting command G38.2 or G38.3, and when manually zeroing, another message appears: "Unknown m code used: M130..."
Attached are the .hal, .ini, and Probe_postgui files.
What am I missing?
