Disable pushbutton was created by MaHa

Disable pushbutton

Category: Flex GUI

I am looking at disable a pushbutton during program runtime. No idea how to do. It is connected to python module, and should not
be enabled during runtime. Is there a setting, it gets greyed out, eg. like mdi-button?

There is a version of nativecam in a linuxcnc branch that mostly works.
It's a work in very slow progress. It's based on Qt.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/qt_ncam

There is also another project I've seem on the forum that keeps it gtk based and just updates it to python3 and whatever pygtk is called now.

But I would suggest you just finish what you have built, as it seems you are pretty far along.
You could always convert it to another platform later.

How to install simplescreenrecorder on old version of Debian?

Category: Computers and Hardware

Thanks guys.
I did do:
apt-get update
before I started. 

I just ran it update again to check, and the distro is wheezy. 

I watched Rods video, but don't want to update to LCNC 2.8 or above as I have had a working system, and don't have the time to play around getting it configured again for the joints change, mesa card latency etc.
Cheers,
Mark

Mr.Rodw big fan of your work! I wouldnt disagree with that however if there is solution to continue to use ER16 tooling (I should have mentioned that in the og post) then I would rather do that then invest in a TTS spindle and TTS collets. I know there is a solution to this

NativeCAM is an interesting project, but it has a fundamental issue today:the codebase is very old (Python 2, GTK2/PyGTK) and has not been actively maintained for quite some time. I have taken a closer look at the project locally and am currently trying to get it running on a modern system (Debian 13, Python 3, LinuxCNC 2.10). At the moment it already fails at the basic dependency level, since Python 2 and PyGTK are essentially unavailable on current distributions. Before discussing any functional extensions, a significant porting effort is required (Python 3, GTK3/gi).Only if NativeCAM can be made stable on a modern system does it make sense to consider whether and how the lathe functionality could be extended or reimplemented. For now, my focus is not on new features, but solely on determining whether the project is still technically viable as a future foundation.

LinuxCNC + Mesa 7i43 – Axis A stepper (stepgen), error was created by manny

LinuxCNC + Mesa 7i43 – Axis A stepper (stepgen), error

Category: HAL

Hello,

I am using LinuxCNC with a Mesa 7i43 card.
Axes X, Y and Z are working correctly.

I need help with configuring Axis A (4th axis),
which I use as an auxiliary axis and want to control
with a stepper motor using STEP/DIR signals.

Hardware:
- LinuxCNC
- Mesa 7i43
- Stepper driver – blue digital stepper driver, Leadshine DM542 / DM556 type
  (or compatible clone) with PUL+, PUL-, DIR+, DIR-, ENA+, ENA- inputs
- 2-phase stepper motor

Stepper driver wiring:
- PUL+  -> Mesa P3 pin 25
- PUL-  -> Mesa P3 pin 26
- DIR+  -> Mesa P3 pin 27
- DIR-  -> Mesa P3 pin 28
- ENA+  -> Mesa P3 pin 29
- ENA-  -> Mesa P3 pin 30

The driver is configured by DIP switches for microstepping
(e.g. 3200 pulses per revolution).

Axis A is configured in the HAL file as a stepper axis
using hm2 stepgen (stepgen.00).

I need advice on how to correctly modify the HAL file
so that Axis A works properly as a stepper axis
with the Mesa 7i43.

I am attaching my complete HAL file.

Thank you.

Usually due to naming errors, like spindle.enable should be spindle.0.enable, axis should be joints, etc.

Dependencies will be a nightmare, libqt5 will be a problem as it would appear it wasn't packaged for Wheezy, if in fact Wheezy is the Debian version Old Mate is running.

I am super curious about that.
You might consider a more narrow grinding wheel. Then you can traverse the x-Axis. I think this might improve surface finish.

I also would add a tailstock support on the end of the cam shaft. It will improve things, worth the effort.

Edit: I would first try to get x-y-z and rotation running. Then try some simple cylindrical grinding to get a feel for the machine and surface finishes. 

Please keep reporting how things go.

Hi Tommy

Thank you for the heads up, I did some reading prior to get the vfd signal going and did hear to other peoples warnings on this forum so I've got an abs component running successfully. The issue is the pendant won't send rpm signal to analogue output 5 were as axis will ?

could you run

I think you might be onto something, I use a custom version with probe tripped during non-probe move disabled, and I never see queue error...
