Does one of the QtVCP sim screens (QtDragon) load in linuxcnc?

I have a mixin class that reimplements the paint event. It first paints the normal widget then adds indicator painting.

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...ts/indicatorMixIn.py

I confirm and see the problem. I'll try to push the fix soon.

*halui_data->so_counts = 0;

should be:

*halui_data->so_counts[spindle] = 0;

Chris,

How are you adding the indicator lights to the upper right corner of the push buttons in QtDragon?



Thanks

I don't know anything about remora sorry.

Yes that's the issue with the M19 command. But could probably be changed in a new release ??
I connect the orient.mode signal to a signal and then manually switch the mode.
An improvement might be to use a custom M command to change the mode (via mux2 or multiselect component)

One thing I might try is to change the orient.comp to have a input for running the index function, that can be controlled easily via hal or M command.

About the brake control:
I found the spindle.xx.locked pin in the documentation which goes high when orient ist done (and low with M5 or a new M19 command) --> it is perfect for controlling the spindle brake !

Oh great so i probably have no issue at all!
My drives only take 32-bit Integer inputs so that is fine.

Thank you!

since the core questions are answered:
I am building an air bearing Diamon Turning Lathe. The goal is to do single point diamond turning of telescope mirrors or similar.
Using ironless linear motors and high resolution glass scales. It is going to get calibrated with an Interferometer so i should get down to 100nm or so of straightness of the axes and linearity of the glass scales.

There will be watercooling of all relevant components down to about 100 millikelvin precision.
I am using Triamec servo drives.

The progress will be documented on my Instagram (Instagram.com/leo.wolf.the.engineer). Please follow if you are interested!

Iv  finally got the encoder somewhat working. Just the confirm , the ec500 outputs a normal 0-10v signal for the spindle or is there a pwm conversion done in remora? I can adjust the spindle speed in the axis GUI and the 0-10v adjusts steady when measuring the ec500 VSO pin with a multimeter. When I am in CSS mode the spindle speed keeps dipping whenever there is a spindle speed change when X moves. If there is a lot of speed changes the spindle nearly stops. When I measure the voltage on the vfd 10v input the voltage drops on every speed change and then gets up to the correct voltage. Looking at the rpm scale etc in halshow show numbers steady when changing speeds. Any ideas what is causing this.
