If you can use for all your card the following command
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci.txt
sudo dmesg | grep parport > dmesg.txt
sudo ls /proc/ioports > ioports.txt

And as much it is a PITA copy the unedited txt files to a USB drive and attach them to your next post . Screenshots are difficult to work with.

Have you looked at your input signals from the button inputs with halscope? It is entirely possible that the way the signals are processed and transmitted within the device's hardware makes adding debounce filtering of the button inputs unnecessary or redundant. If you find that the signals need to be debounced you will probably need to either do it with a hal debounce component or rewrite the whc-whb04b driver to add that feature your self.

If I could ask a small favour, could you provide a link to the item, then I'll put the details of the screen in the big RPi thread for others that may be looking for a touchscreen.

Glad you've had success.

Solved!!!

Why Wine?

just a note I also tried the port tester from here
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/4743-parallel-port-tester

Still no output that I can see.

You could look at how myCNC works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcrRAU9BJ0E
docs.pv-automation.com/quickstart/mycnc-...ngential-knife-setup
It adds the rotations and retracts automatically without touching the G-code, like how you were thinking.

EdingCNC works the same way:

Tangential knife, you need to program only X.Y coordinates and the tangential knife follows, also in circles and lifts automatically up when needed.

 

Thank you for the guidance!

I got a super cheap 65eur 14" touchscreen off Amazon where the seller stated it is USB HID and it works just perfectly fine first try. Much easier indeed to use standard USB than trying to make drivers work for a dedicated solution. 

Couldn't be happier how it turned out - using the VESA mounts to attach the raspi on the back, and have a desk stand I will mount to the back of the mill stand to hold the screen in place. 

Hi, I had a little trouble displaying the warning icon in a LcncDialog widget. I think it's caused by setting the default to INFO icon before checking WARNING and CRITICAL (dialog_widget.py in master 0fda49f):


Changing the sequence of the statements lets me choose also the WARNING icon.
Sorry, have some problems formatting the code passage in my message

@MennilTossFlykune,

Very nice contribution!
The planner could add these z motion steps too. And additional steps if needed.

Maybe someone is interested to write a paper how the tangential module should work within linuxcnc
in a nice TANGENTIAL.md file, that can be included with the source.

Then i can just read the paper and tranfer the workflow into code.

Thanks. I look forward to your response. 

I was able to get the SUN1888 working to the same extent as the Moschip.  With the same results no output. So I'm guessing not the card. 

The only other thing that may be causing issues is my initial setup was in stepconf wizard using the dual parport setting and then setting the addresses for the parallel ports in there.  This seems to create a valid output in the hal of loadrt hal_parport cfg=”0x378 out 0xe800 out“ (when testing with the moschip card) 

from my limited understanding of the hal file  stepconf seems to setup the hal correctly it definitely works on a single breakout card. 

I have attached the photos for the sun1888 card just for your reference.  

 

Hi,

Yesterday i was trying to install the new .iso but it failed. No kernel was found.
I noticed i made a mistake somewhere in the process. Brrrr.

Now after a while i noticed i had to copy some files inside the iso related to the rt kernel.
Then installed it again. This time the rt-kernel was found.

At the moment i added extra software and it's packing the filesystem. After that i will test the iso once again.
I am testing from 16gb usb to 16gb usb.
Then one usb contains the .iso. The other usb is working as hdd to install debian12rt on. This worked yesterday.
It's only a slow install process. It takes a long time.

We managed to borrow server space from our friends : QtPyVcp Team.

Here we can now host bigger iso files at : repository.qtpyvcp.com/linux-distro/
this link is now empty, but hopely later on this day, the first iso will appear.

Thanks to QtPyVcp Team.

I agree. At the rate I'm going I'm liable to get kicked off!

Or better on Skype at:
david.jensen11 although that is going off air next month and I will be migrated to Teams personal or Teams free it seems.
Skype is better for me as I'm slow and hopeless at typing. You might need to refine the Skype address to Sydney.
Cheers,

Hello David
t seems we have been writing under Linux CNC forum and possibly a bit off topic.
If you are happy to continue our conversation please advise me on how best to contact you.
Thank you Cheers Chris McMullen
