Parport bob is easy to use.
There are guides to set it up.

Y Axis not working in Plasmac screen

Category: Plasmac

If it is a gantry machine then it needs to be homed before you can manually jog the Y axis.

2.9.3 - Stuck in wrong state and stops

Category: Plasmac

Interestingly if I unlink haul.program.is-paused in a sim I see similar behaviour:
[b]Actions on the simulator:[/b]
Homed the machine and enabled the torch
Started a job
While the thing was moving to start the cut, I set the ohmic volts right up
When it tried to do the ohmic sensing it failed with the message "pierce height would exceed Z axis maximum limit". This stopped the machine
Pressed the pulse button. The button shows the countdown timer, but the torch does not fire
I cannot get it to fire by activating the float switch though.

I will  get the clients current config.  we may not be using the runstep.hal file any more as we are using the external button pins.
Not sure about the sim

Category: Plasmac

Is there a complete sim config somewhere that can be used to test for this issue?
If so I can probably make a bit time to have a look.

The config posted above is not a sim but a quick glance does show a couple of oddities in runstep.hal:
# External Program Pause/Resume and Run/Step Buttons
# Pause/Resume Section
unlinkp halui.program.is-paused
unlinkp halui.program.is-running
net plasmac:program-is-paused => pr-or2.in0
net ispaused halui.program.is-paused => pr-or2.in1
net plasmac:program-is-running => pr-or3.in0
The two plasma:program-is-... signals seem to have nothing driving them, just two inputs connected together.

Have you thought of using the provided external button pins?

Is it possible to use the Master version on a Pi5 ?

It isn't supported out of the box but you could build it from source. I made a video

Send emails / txts notifications from gcode.

Category: PathPilot

Thanks for the idea.
Tried it without success.

But it did make me think to try some other stuff i saw in the link above.

I changed the M101 file to a new name sendemail.py
Then i called the file in the bash script of M101 that looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

python3 sendemail.py P1 P2 %

exit 0


That did the trick!
This is a huge step towards automation for me!
Thanks everyone.

ps the python script sendemail.py needed to be in the config folder with the machine.ini despite the mcode file location in my nc_files directory.

Any experience with cnc-step machines?

Category: Milling Machines

I was thinking along Tommys Lines. 
Price up:
Mesa 7i96s from EU Surplus
Meanwell MDR-20-5 power supply (5 volt logic power)
Meanwell MDR-60-24 power supply (24 volt field power)
Meanwell LRS-350-48 power supply (48 volt 7.3 amp motor power
3 x 50 volt stepper controllers
Estop button

See how much of your 800 EUR budget you have left :)
You might want to use a 10 amp motor supply if you have 4 motors

SolidWorks for makers, post processor for LinuxCNC?

Category: Post Processors

The above link is to a login page, so why is that posted here?
I see no reason for it as this is open source forum, while that is not open source.

The link takes you to a solidworks Makers page with a postprocessor. I guess if you are using Solidworks you might have a use for it and the required login.

I received additional detailed information from the customer and have raised an issue in github here

Hopefully, this can be resolved.

5 axis configuration.

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hi.!!
Aciera, Thanks.
I did what you recommend me but I can make the B axis to move or get home.
also tried to emulate a 5 axis gcode but I didn't works.
my lack of knowledge couldn't make to figure out how to get that issue done.
I tried to the gmoccapy interface.
if there any manual of any info that may help me to figure it out to fix it, I'll love it to hear from you.

thanks for your time.

Y Axis not working in Plasmac screen

Category: Plasmac

The Y axis in the Plasmac control screen is grayed out and does not respond. When I go to the Axis screen it works fine. This is my first time setting this machine up. Using Plasmac 2.9 with Linuxcnc 2.4. I have attached a screenshot of the Plasmac screen and the INI file also.

PCIe - No parport registered at "0x " . This is not Always an error.Continuing.

Category: Advanced Configuration

Yup, missing module and driver AND using IRQ11 in your case, so there goes my "above 15 IRQ issue" out the window! :)
FLAGS!!! they are not the same (everything else is), yours has Bus Master and Latency shown, my friends PC is missing those.
Now that is something to chase...
Thank you.

Category: Advanced Configuration

As you can see, no driver and no module.

I have ordered a couple of Sunix PCI (not PCIe) as well. They are supposed to arrive next week. As soon as I have them in hand I will post results here forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/54368-pci...-work-out-of-the-box

At leas two different Sunix chipsets. Maybe tree. All of them PCI.
