Hello expert, can you optimize the problem of large capacity G-CODE occupying more memory?（Turn preview on and disable preview）

Doesn't have an option for setting LANGUAGE.

Had to use
Then log out and login for it to take effect.

Thanks, that image was prepared by James Walker (Joco) one of the qtpyvcp developers.
All of these features can be set using sudo menu-config which brings up this menu.

 

Just checked out your new image that you linked a couple of posts ago. Video works ok when using min hdmi to DVI adapter.
Just for those of us that are a bit silly what is the correct procedure & values to setup
1: LANGAUGE (currently unset)
2: LC_ALL (currently unset)
LANG = "en_AU.UTF-8" is fine.

Currently starting to test the new hm2_spix driver

Oh, yeah. so i was wondering if my assumption is correct, in that i am having trouble because of the ethernet controller...
Do you know of any reason that the intel nics would be an issue?

Hello 
i have been using qt dragon HD and like it. 
i would like to add some buttons to my screen and was looking for the directions or a resourct to help me. 
i have three things i want to add.  
i have a work light
a spindle light
and a relay that switches between my prob in put and my tool setter.  both the tool setter and probe are normaly closed. seamed like the best way to do it. 

i could put them on a tab or in utilitys.  but still a littel unclear on how to do that. 
thanks for the help.

Hi, there is no cpp source code for the NVMPG. I decompiled the extracted firmware and managed to find the serial transmission section. The communication protocol was derived from that. The attached spreadsheet simulates the protocol. You should be able to use that for your purpose or alternatively look at the code of the NVMPG LinuxCNC component.

Hi Scott,
thanks for your time and dedication.
I've owned a NVEM 2 since 2018, but buried it long time ago since I was not able to make it work reliably.
www.cnczone.com/forums/controller-cards/...084.html#post2154084
At that point in time, and till now, I've been using Mach3 (yeah... no LinuxCNC... i know...)

2019, after migrating to an UC300ETH controller, I tried to make the MPG work with Mach3 without using the NVEM.
I didn't want to waste such a nice MPG.
At that time, I did some reverse engineering... not as professional as you did... mine was mostly trial and error and listening to the serial communication between the MPG and the NVEM after opening it and finding a MAX232. I captured hundreds of packages, and tried to find the similarities on what was displayed on the MPG and what was within the payload. I almost got the payload down to your level.
I was too dumb to know about headers and such -_-

I also tried to create an Arduino program for having the MPG communicate with a PC using MODBUS.
But again, I was too dumb to find a smart solution, like having the Button-presses being reflected as Output-Pin changes on the Arduino, and hook those up to my motion-controller. Or using the Arduino Pro-Micro as a HID. Instead I tried to make the communication work with MODBUS and Mach3 "Brain", which resulted in a complex, and unreliable solution.
So I buried that solution almost 4 years ago as well.

That being said... I'm surprised about the NVEM still being a topic after stumbling about this thread by accident.
Would you mind if I would revive my idea of a NVMPG to PC connection, utilizing some of the "wisdom" you've gathered throughout the years?
Don't get me wrong... I'm an "enthusiast", far away from being an "achiever", my programming days are more than 20 years in the past now... but it's been bugging me a lot looking at this "unfinished project" (a lot of them exist though -_-)

Kind regards,
David

Hi David, 
No problem from my side. This is exactly why I love open source projects. One builds from another.

Added video to Lenovo Y370
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/54369-use...hernet-boards#313956

I found my problem!

It wasn't configuration at all, it was a very basic error where I hadn't started lcec!

halcmd loadrt lcec

That was it!

Thank you everyone for your time.

Hi @RNZ,

Thank you very much for the offer. I appreciate that... I know nothing about CNC. I am learning at the moment.

I am learning HAL I have been a run-of-a-mill computer programmer, conceptually I have no problem understanding HAL, but I am not yet familiar with all the stuff in HAL yet. For example, I have learned that there is a motion module. But I don't yet understand what it is about, and its properties etc... I have much to learn till I can questions which hopefully make sense

Have a good weekend...

Best regards,

...behai.
 

the Ethercat code is managed by etherlabmaster not this project. 

If you read their docs, this appears to be a buggy implementation on your hardware as it says:

During bus scanning (see section 5.4), the master determines the supported mailbox protocols for each slave. This is done by examining the “Supported Mailbox Protocols” mask field at word address 0x001C of the SII. If bit 1 is set, the slave supports the EoE protocol. In this case, an EoE handler is created for that slave.

Perhaps this flag can be disabled on your drive.

I am not sure what I was thinking this morning, it is x-axis (the 120" long one) that is rack and pinion. y-axis and z-axis are ball screw and are working fine. (most of my work these days has been on MSY lathes and now a tube laser ... it seems every machine in my shop has different axis names ... and then I screw up the simplest axis named machined I own)

I am going to take tommylight's suggestion and give the rack and pinion a good cleaning. And look at if there is anything that could be lose / binding elsewhere in that axis.

Thanks

You have the old (G540) package name in your pinout file

While copying the file for pasting I noticed that while I had changed the package name at the start of the file, I had forgotten to change it at the end...

It compiles!! I'll flash it tomorrow 
Thank you for all your help!
