Find info on the drives, check wiring and if it is in good condition try to power everything up, check drives for errors or strange behavior or smoke, then we can move to testing drives and figuring out what controller you would need.

Could you check if this is correct firmware? I'm not getting anything to stepgen pins (hm2_7i96s.0.stepgen.00.index-enable) but pin hm2_7i96s.0.gpio.008.in goes true when indexing. Or is there something I'm missing?

Hello,

I'm trying to implement a macro for setting the tool length with a probe on the table. The subroutine i wrote is working and does what i want it to. Now I want to embed it as a macro in Gmoccapy so I have fast access to it in the MDI tab.

I followed the steps listed in the documentation and added a macros folder in my config directory. I added my .ngc file here. The ngc file itself has the blocks at the start and end
O<my_routine> sub

O<my_routine> endsub
M2

I added the necessary lines in the ini file as well.

Now when I press the macro button at the bottom left in the MDI tab (the button has the correct subroutine name on it) I just get the error "file not open" and my subroutine does not execute.
When I open the subroutine file in the Automatic tab, then go back to MDI I can run the macro no problem, but as soon as I load another program the subroutine button does not work.

I hope someone can help me as I'm pretty sure it's just some oversight on my part.

- Use the same procedure you used to create the custom Mcode for the python scirpt here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/20-g-code/54265-calling-python-file#313421

- Create a new HAL_COMMAND entry in the [HALUI] section of your ini file (change M code number to the one you are using):
MDI_COMMAND = M199

- Make sure the [HAL] section of your ini file contains this entry:
HALUI = halui

Then connect your GUI button to the MDI_COMMAND in your hal file:
net call_script => halui.mdi-command-00 <= <your_vcp_button_pin_here>

i have a python script that runs automatically when i start linuxcnc, i want to make a button in the ui that runs the script when i click on it. i use this code to run it (loadusr python3 /home/abdulkareem/linuxcnc/configs/Ethercat_FInal/import_logging.py) in the postgui file iam using axis ui.

I guess I will have to try the new version soon.

I have the gpio config added to my start.sh, should we maybe have this generated when a iceshield (or iceshield derivative) is selected?

I have the whole tables controller and everything. The drives are old school, massive circuit board lots of little transformers and stuff. Not your regular cnc driver

Do you also have the drives ?

Thank you.
