Hi all, 
after swapping our Raspberry Pi4 with a 5 things didn't work anymore as they did before, and thanks to this forum, as far as I understood there is no SPI support yet, right? 
I have also read that "rodw" you have created an image builder, and "Cornholio" you managed to patch it so it works right?
As we are trying to run the mesa 7c80 with a Raspberry Pi5, is there an image available currently that supports this combination? If not what would be the steps to "patch" it together? 

Thanks a lot in advance

What I mentioned was based on the Flex Label with a bit input that was just added, could add multiple bit inputs but now that I think about it that probably wouldn't go well if multiple bits were true. So yeah, it could use an S32/U32 input and that would probably solve that issue but there's still no way of displaying different text based on the value of the input other than just to display the value itself.

Something like this could work, it currently doesn't:
 

Now it does and BTW it only uses U32. Oh and the function is hal_msl instead of hal_pin.

I like it!

And here you go Flex GUI Multi-State HAL labels!

Hi, could you solve your feed problem? If not, let me tell you that 1/32 step is much too high for a stepper motor without closed loop. Even if closed loop, more than 2000 steps are senseless because of losing holding and turning torque at higher speeds. High steprates can be useful in 3d printers, where light weight loads are moved. In a CNC machine do not use those steprates. The theoretical precision of more microsteps is not realistically reachable with steppers, while they fall back into full step. Servo motors are another story...

interesting read.

Although it's true FUD happens alot. I see it more as they're hoping to walk it back so they don't
loose customers. I was reading through Bambu Lab's forum yesterday and I can tell you their was
a LOT of fallout over this "Beta" update. If this was indeed a huge misunderstanding fine. I apologize
for not seeing it as Bambu Lab intended it to be seen.

  That said I have seen WAY to many companies do the rug pull and close off their entire echo system
in the hopes of gaining more profits. I have seen it with Autodesk, HP, and you know what their are way
too many companies to list. They all love the subscription type of money model. I, like almost every
other human being in this world absolutely HATE the constant monopolistic mindsets and tactics that
have run rampant now of  days.

  So Bambu Lab you didn't mean it that way, OK. But know this, YOU ARE being watched. I am
already switching to Orca Slicer from Bambu studio. I have already set plans in place to build
Vorons for my future printing needs.
And I'm not alone!

PS
I don't think anyone else is buying it either

There's some good hal components just floating around in this forum that were never submitted to linuxCNC. I just found one to "blink" an LED during a search since surprisingly, there isn't a simple way to do it in HAL at the moment. I tested it quick and it seems to work fine.
forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/29015-hal-blink-component

Not sure if a collection thread already exists but, I've found others over the years. One was just a lump of code that Andy threw in a thread that I copied out and had a friend improve a bit. I submitted that as the "spindle-monitor" component which I guess we forgot to credit so the maintainer just authored it eventually.

I figure there's some other useful components out there that are maybe not well tested, or maybe not 100% finished. If anything like that is floating around post it up!

My GUI might be ugly, but at least I'm giving Flex a workout lol

spotted a typo - misspelled "lenght" instead of "length" in multiple places..

I don't see any reason that can't be done in Flex... give me a few minutes to code that up.

Official update

blog.bambulab.com/updates-and-third-part...-with-bambu-connect/

  looks like I will have to cruise around the Freecad forum for a little bit. The Latest drama of what
Bambu Lab is pulling has re-emphasized the need to keep up to date on the open source software.
It seems to be the only way to keep out of the absolute money vacuum of today's mainstream
industries.

I am also using FreeCAD V1.0. I have been using FreeCad for a couple of years but only fo simple stuff.

I just started modelling a 1920 three cylinder radial motorcycle engine in FreeCad V1.0, and decided to spilt each component into it's own file, as a component like the Piston often needs multiple solids (patterns, core moulds etc). My plan it to combine the parts in a separate assembly file. I did this as I notice that the performance took a nose dive while modelling the piston core mould.

I am getting the feeling that this could be avoid with more rigourous modelling. I noticed on one part I made some error in a loft, which generated with incomplete facets, and the performance took a real hit fo all other operations after that. I have no idea what is actually wrong with that loft, but when I backed up and modelled that feature differently, the performance hit went away.

FreeCad is certainly way less tolerant of user deviating from the one true path of how you are "supposed" to model in it. I am also using way more refeence planes than I even needed in AutoCad V13, Catia, Inventor or Onshape inb the past.

As here, the support of the Freecad forum is outstanding.

well cornholio that is most definitely angerish. Awh crap now that first song is stuck in my head. LOL

tommylight thank you for the recommendations I am glad I wasn't the only one who has gotten caught
with the whole get a Bambu Lab printer only to now feel bad for doing so. Then again we gave the best
recommendations we had at the time with the information available. Fortunately Prusa had to play
catch up because of companies like Bambu Lab. At this point I have no problem telling people to get a
Prusa the higher price tag is worth the freedom it provides. That said I will be looking into your other
recommendations as well especially the CR5 PRO. Heavy usually also means stable.

Hallo zusammen,

ich stehe an einem ähnlichen Problem:
jedoch habe ich bei euch nicht verstanden, wie Ihr das 'halui.axis.jog-speed' mit einem fixen Wert eingebaut bekommen habt.
(forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/551...ton-for-y-axis-speed)

Gruß Mücke

[EDIT]
Habe meinen Fehler gefunden, ich habe einen Joystick mit eingebunden, und da waren gewisse dinge verbunden, die zum Konflikt geführt haben.

Den Joystick habe ich vorübergehend herausgenommen.
Dann sieht meine HAL nun so aus.
