Thanks very much Tommy.

I'm so hopeless when it comes to the backstage programming stuff I figure I'd better help out where I can.
 

Loll you aren't the only one....

Not sure what prompted the post but gonna jump in and lend another thanks as well for your help (last year?) with that plasma cutting....

....I still owe ya one.

hmm i never realized thats what it meant, adjust the file dialog box.

I dont know how, but I want to know how. to resize buttons and everything else. or, even replace it with a different file dialog

I found the lib file that it uses
github.com/tcltk/tk/blob/main/library/tkfbox.tcl

github.com/tcltk/tk/blob/main/library/tkfbox.tcl#L446
here is the button

but now I dont know how to configure it in the bigfile.tcl

Here's an example working pinout file with a PktUART

 

You should be able to cut/paste into your actual pinout file

You need both the:
      
        PktUARTTTag   
        PktUARTRTag    

Note that the

PktUTDrvEnPin is active low, if you need active high, use PktUTNDrvEnPin

        IOPortTag & x"00" & PktUARTRTag & PktURDataPin,      -- I/O 30   RX PKTUART PIN
        IOPortTag & x"00" & PktUARTTTag & PktUTDataPin,      -- I/O 31   TX PKTUART PIN
        IOPortTag & x"00" & PktUARTTTag & PktUTDrvEnPin,    -- I/O 32   TX PKTUART PIN



 

Please tell me how I should run Linuxcncrsh, I am also using Linuxcncrsh control my machine, but every time I use the computer test to send hello without any return, I can not shake hands with Linuxcncrsh normally, please help me, Thank you root@cong-XPS-13-9360:/home/cong# telnet 192.168.12.129 5005

Trying 192.168.12.129...

Connected to 192.168.12.129.

hello EMC user-typing-at-telnet 1.0

What module must include to PIN file PktUARTTTag ?
like this

Something else?
What is PktUARTRTag receive and PktUARTTTag transmit ?

I'm gunna blame it on Goblins.

I've had my fair share of their input today.

new linear blocks. (one was damaged somehow)


carbide/ruby probe tips
 

more atc mag thoughts.
 

I tested the er tool holders and collets i got and the runout varies between 0 and 5 microns, so quite pleased with that.

I would have thought it was a typo, but seeing the post has been edited and that is still there, probably not a typo...

Forgot to mention. Expert mode does not enable the preempt_rt in menuconfig
From memory there is another setting about a embedded system that controls it. I don't have one to check

I just installed linuxcnc on my desktop PC  using the Debian trixie alpha1 ISO on an AMD64 PC
Linuxcnc 2.3 is included in the trixie repositories
It installed fine and brought in the PREEMPT_RT kernel.
Linuxcnc started Using POSIX realtime with no further action

So it looks like its a Raspberry Pi thing which is resolved by applying the kernel patches. I'll try tonight

Linuxcnc is way way better than Mach3

Cheers mate

M drives are Can bus. They can be switched to analogue or pulse though. Most likely it is defaulted to Can bus operation.

Yeah a bit confusing indeed, actually I wasn't aware that these patches are available, at the beginning of 6.12 they weren't. One of them is indeed to add support for arm and also one to add the realtime indicator.

Then for now still applying those patches seems to be the best way to go

You can impove latency by switching the CPU governor to performance.

You should open your PC and physically remove as much hardware as you can.

Hardware usually adds to latency.

Also, while I have never used Mach 3 (when I triedit on Windows 7, 32-bit it just crashe the PC), it is porbably more user-friendly than than LinuxCNC.
Mach 3 is commercial software.

Or at least, it was.
Mach 3 is pretty much obsolete now.

Windows XP 32-bit is SUPER old-school.

However, most POS software runs on Windows 98!!!!!
Windows 7 is SO much faster than Windows 10; it is unbelievable.
It also does not really collect telemetry.
