The menue bar in the upper screen is missing and the blue menue of the Axis GUI is missing. And I do not know why. 

The next screen shot is from the other machine and that is what the first machine looked like a few days back. 
 
 

Hello, 
I know the following will be somewhat unspecific, but maybe someone has a simple explanation based on my attempt. "Did you try to switch it offandonagain?" Yes already. The machine also seems to move normal, but the Linux desktop cannot be operated normal. 

I left the machine on and coming to the workshop today I could not see the Axis window anymore. 
The complete desktop behaves strange. 

After re-start and unplugging the screen I could start Axis Gui. I cannot move the axis window or re-size it. 
Something is odd it seems. 
Either something is really damaged on the installation or I have accidently changed some setting that I am not aware of. 

Also usually there was a bunch of software things visible and that seems to be missing. 

 

with the latest linuxcnc 2.9.8 ISO-install on a Lenovo M720Q I get compile errors. Any ideas?

since the linuxCNC is not part of the process, its input pins cannot be part of it either, and just wanted to confirm that.

I'm inferring that the HAL file has the home switches connected to both LCNC and the drives' digital input:

net X-home-sw            <= lcec.0.10.din-4      #physical digital input on Beckhoff EL1018?
net X-home-sw            => joint.0.home-sw-in   #LCNC joint home switch pin (motion.comp)
net X-home-sw            => lcec.0.5.dout-0      #physical digital output on Beckhoff EL2008?

@Andrax has not mentioned any drive connections explicitly, but the only reason I can imagine sending the home switch signal to a physical output is to signal the drive.  Unless I'm mistaken, a drive's digital input is the only way a drive 'knows' when the home switch is triggered.

Which begs the question - why is the home switch also connected to LCNC joint.N.home-sw-in?

Maybe to do LCNC homing first, then move on to cia402 (internal) homing, and finally absolute encoder homing?

I had seen that already, but that seemed more like "hey, you can use these pins and not have to buy separate inputs for homing" rather than "you NEED to use these for cia402 homing to work". What made it click was the readme on CIA402_home_comp explaining how you basically need to tell linuxCNC not to panic when it sees the drive moving without it asking and i figured since the linuxCNC is not part of the process, its input pins cannot be part of it either, and just wanted to confirm that. I ordered the db15 connections to solder and they should arrive tomorrow, my plan is to join the drive's internal supplies' grounds to my common ground and just wire the signal wire in there.

Noe I have working 5Axis Ini and hal with mesa card and would configure for sim.axis.vismach.5axis.table-rotary-tilting.....
.thank you
 

See mouse cursor.

Hallo,
ene neue Maschine mit stepconfig erstellt immer eine Simulationsmaschine.

Auf der ersten Seite der Stepconfig wird keine  Änderung angeboten.
Weis jemand, wo man das ändern kann?

Danke karlhe

 

The problem is finally solved! It wasn't an issue with the .ini file directly, but rather with the automatic configuration generated by PNCconf inside the ukryty `~/.axisrc` file.

For my 1366x768 screen resolution, PNCconf had automatically created a `~/.axisrc` file with a hardcoded window geometry of 1366x640:
root_window.tk.call("wm", "geometry", ".", "1366x640+0+0")

Because I am running a complex setup with a PyVCP side panel and 11 NGCGUI tabs, forcing a vertical size of only 640 pixels caused the Tkinter engine to run out of space. As a result, the bottom bars (tool info, positions) and the right side of the GUI were completely cut off.

To fix it, I edited `~/.axisrc` and updated the geometry to utilize the full height of my screen (leaving a small margin for the hidden OS panel):

root_window.tk.call("wm", "geometry", ".", "1366x740+0+0")
root_window.tk.call("wm", "resizable", ".", "1", "1")

I also set my Debian top desktop panel to "Always hide". Now, the AXIS interface starts in the correct size, scales beautifully, and absolutely nothing is cut off anymore. Thank you everyone for the guidance!

Czy to jest podobne
forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/49685-2-9-axis-with-1366x768

Aktualizacja sytuacji: Okno GUI AXIS jest odcięte ZARÓWNO na dole, jak i po prawej stronie.

Rozdzielczość mojego ekranu to 1366x768 (LinuxCNC 2.9.8 na Debianie). Ponieważ 1366px powinno być wystarczająco szerokie dla standardowego AXIS, wydaje się, że zintegrowany panel boczny (jak PyVCP czy GladeVCP) wypycha główne okno poza widoczny obszar ekranu.

Czy mógłbyś mi powiedzieć, jak poprawnie przeskalować okno lub zmienić pozycję panelu, żeby wszystko zmieściło się na monitorze 1366x768? Czy powinienem szukać linii PYVCP lub GLADEVCP w moim pliku .ini?

I now have X and Y working on the actual machine and I want to give this another go. Can you clarify if to use cia402 homing I need to have the limit switches wired into the servodrive specific input pins, or if it works all the same with them wired to beckoff input pins?
Yesterday I had it sort of working (motor direction wrong + homing direction wrong yielded something sort of working) with them wired into beckoff but i'm wondering if by any chance it could be using regular homing because of something else in the config.

Mesa 7i97T would be nice if you can find it, or 7i92T with 7i77, or other Mesa options.
In the mean time, have a look at some of the retrofits i have done with such boards, and what it takes to endeavor in such undertaking:
