These are the limit switches I am using I believe they are connected to tb5 on the mesa 7i76e.   
And here are my latch positions and velocities

your devices will OP much quicker.

also note this new version needs an additional command in hal
lcec.activate

There seems to be a lot of systems like this recently.
The correct method is to use MTconnect  which is a standards based read only API now included in LinuxCNC master branch.
With MTconnect you can publish the same data to Home assistant which can then trigger automations 
mtconnect.org/

This took me all  of 5 minutes to publish to Home Assistant (sorry Linuxcnc is not running right now...)
 

I just did the same thing, Please feel free to reach out if you need any help. I feel like I learned a fair bit along the way...

Its a ripper, just what I was after,

If you indicate what the exact pinout required is, I can build the firmware.

Hey Folks, I threw together a wee python package to run on a standard LinuxCNC installation. I tend to have  an IP cam watching my machine but I know not everyone wants to do that. This package monitors the internal LCNC status and pings it out to a ntfy.sh  topic so you get "Machine stopped - ESTOP" etc. No account needed on NTFY. You can install the app for free on android or ios, and there's a web page on the LCNC machine showing the stats too.

github.com/bucklevision/Linuxcnc-notify/

Feel free to try it and see if it helps, give me a ping if you find issues or have ideas for improvements.

Free for all, no intention of that changing - LCNC has been a great tool for me, hope this is useful for some.

Hi Guys,
Looking for some help getting my table back up and running. Table is homebuilt running Linux 2.8.4 with a mesa 7i76E. I had no issues for the last year and half however today i tried to cut some simple 4x4 square plates in the plasmac extras section which I've used before but it would not load the g code or file. I managed to load previous saved files that i cut before with no issues. One thing i had noticed was the system had been connected to the internet which I'm not sure how this could have happened because i never connect this system to the internet, at least i thought. After disconnecting again I cannot load anything without error messages and i noticed sheetcam will not open when linux cnc is running. I have tried searching a fix but I am afraid of making things worse. I am not very good with any of the programming or technical issues and the friend i had helping with that is no longer with us. I attached a pic of the screen with messages that came up. This is when i first open it
ThanksAttachmentshttps://plasmaspider.com/download/file.php?id=98309

Всем доброго дня. 
Подскажите, можно ли достать такую прошивку, нужно: 1 мотор, 2-3 step/dir, 5 энкодеров и остальные разные кнопки, переключатели?
Или как можно изменить текущую прошивку, в какой программе?

Have you checked or adjusted the servo tuning using Teknic's software yet?

The OP never reported back attempting this, and it's step #1 in identifying the faceting.

Step #2 would be checking the steps-per-unit  - can be calculated from the OEM motor config (also available in Teknic's software).

Step #3 would be to see if PathPilot, the Tormach hardware, and the Clearpath are capable of finer resolution.

Step #4 - if #3 is possible, change to finer resolution and make some test cuts.

PathPilot could be set to Clearpath's default steps-per-rev input, and there may be some room left given the Tormach stock max rapids:

sudo apt-get update
before
sudo apt-get install xxxxxxxxx

Or just delete it I suppose. Doesn't work anyway. Was running a part yesterday and lost all communication to the mesa card. fun days.... so much regression when I don't change anything... it's like "yay! it's cutting parts.. Nope just kidding, go sit at your desk and figure this one out now!"

cayenne@LinuxCNC:~$ sudo apt install galculator
[sudo] password for cayenne:
sudo: apt: command not found

This worked
sudo apt-get install galculator
But returned nothing but a bunch of 404s

I'm on ver 2.7.15 and everything I try and install including with the synapptic thing it all returns 404s
