Thanks Mark,
I had a quick look at the link and I'll have to spend a few days looking at it. I've already downloaded what looks like the circuit diagrams for my model Maho. I wish I'd known before. I used a similar but very different one for a 600 to help my rewiring. But there are so many variations! As you recall, a lot of mine wiring was botched by whoever refitted the Heidenhain in replacement the the Philips controller. No wiring ferule numbers and all the wiring either orange or blue.And lots of redundant wiring and relays left in place.

For Chris: I use Firefox for my browser. If it notices the language as different to your native one it puts at  the right in the box where you put the web address, a translate button that will translate from German to English and many others. It works very well, which is something that didn't before AI. I'd go to Marks link and look there for your issue.
I think you are telling me that you have the ram and spring assembly apart as I show on page 171 near the bottom. I didn't pull mine part further than shown in the photo, so I can't help further.
But both retraction systems work simultaneously when you energize the tool change hydraulics. So I would try connecting it back onto the hydraulic elbow at the rear again, but with it outside the machine, then activate the tool change so you can see what it tries to do.
Cheers,
David

Doesn't help you but in the latest QtDragon, we added:

# new way: 'MDI_COMMAND_SSS = XXXX' (SSS being any string)
# order of commands doesn't matter in the INI

Just for the reason you mention.

Chris, I guess you have already heard of viaconstructor (github.com/multigcs/viaconstructor).
If not you may can get some inspiration of the graphical part ... and it is also using Qt
 

No I didn't thank you - looks interesting.
I compiled your Ncam branch and it is helping for testing my work. Thanks.

If we fix the berry bit will the links still be good or do they need modifying ?
Pinning it would be a good idea, was hoping you would ask
Locking just to keep it clean, I like it

Thanks

I am still running my mill on 2.7, so I guess I should install an old version of NativeCam and try it out.

Hallo

Ich hatte eigentlich gedacht das der Umbau bis letztes Weihnachten fertig ist, aber wie  so oft, kommen immer wieder andere Sachen dazwischen.

Ich habe also eine kleine Drehbank, so ein Typischen Chinaböller eben mit 350mm Spitzenweite. der Support ist runter, dafür hab ich mir einen Klotz gefräßt in Passender höhe und darauf ist ein 250-000 Schnelwechselhalter mit Haltern für diverse Werkzeuge. Für Z und X Achse sind schon Steppermotoren mit Treibern vorhanden, außerdem Kugelumlaufspindeln. Die Hauptspindel habe ich umgebaut auf Schrägkugellager. Ein kleiner MiniPC läuft mit LinuxCNC und als Board ist ein NVEM v5 mit Remora geplant.

Als Spindelantrieb ist ein AC Servo gedacht und dazu hätt ich mal Fragen.

Der Servotreiber sollte nach möglichkeit via RS485 angesteuert werden. Hintergrund ist, das ich so nicht nur befehle an die Spindel senden kann, sondern auch Rückmeldungen bekommen kann. Interessant wäre dabei natürlich die Spindelauslastung.
Von dem Verkäufer habe ich die angehängte PDF als information bekommen. 

Außerdem habe ich noch diese Seite gefunden.

Wenn ich micht nicht täusche, dann müssten die Informationen aus dem PDF in die clp datei eingearbeitet werden. Natürlich müssten die anderen Dateien auch noch etwas angepasst werden, oder bin ich da auf dem Holzweg?

Gibt es da eine "Einfache" Anleitung, oder so eine art Howto zu?

Machbar wäre es sicher, auf die eine, oder andere Weise, aber es könnte ja auch sein, das es gar kein Sinn macht.

Just for completeness, all the questions doobiedoo raised have been addressed in this thread. So I'm unsure why the user is having so many issues.
The images do work out of the box.

Yes of course, when you mention parallel it is always referred to the parallel port, for Mesa we use header or IDC26 port.
Mesa header can do everything a parallel port can, at speeds of up to 10MHz/s for each pin (se above for parallel port speed), but can also do input or output on any of the 17 pins, and can have secondary hardware functions like PWM or stepgen or encoder inputs or....

@HalaszAttila,

Mabye just give it a try on a LinuxCNC v2.8.4 version.
The repository has info how to install, patch.
Maybe others can help to setup a vm and test it for you, as my vm is broken at the moment.

@Evgen,
That is not possible unless you edit the source in the ~/debian dir.

For shipping software, you can considering using ~/opt/linuxcnc as the installation dir for a .deb package.
Creating a .deb package from linuxcnc that installs in ~/opt/linuxcnc dir is clean way to go.
 

You might want to attach your config files so people get an idea of what you are doing.

GOTO gibts nicht.
Es ist möglich per Taster eine Subroutine aufzurufen (siehe MDI_COMMAND).
Es gibt die Möglichkeit Zeilen zu überspringen:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gcode/overview.html#sub:block-delete
Du kannst Verzweigungen verwenden (eg IF, ELSE, WHILE).
Du kannst 'M6' neu definieren und mit einer Logik versehen die den eigentlichen Werkzeugwechsel ausführt oder eben nicht.
Es gibt grundsätzlich auch die Möglichkeit ein Programm ab einer bestimmten Zeile zu starten aber das ist mit Vorsicht zu geniessen.

I'm not aware of an optional explicit numbering.
This seems to be the section in halui.cc that parses the MDI_COMMAND entries in the ini file:

 

It basically adds the commands to an array in the order they appear in the [HALUI] section. I guess it would be possible to parse each entry for the number and place it in the appropriate element of the array but I'm not sure if it's really worth the effort as there are other keys that can occur multiple times (eg 'REMAP' or 'HALFILE').
