Ok i added a combo box to select sidebar tab default for startup, i just pushed so give it about 20 minutes to build and upload and be available in apt update should be ready about 1:40pm EST

Das ESI File nützt dir erst mal nichts. Das ist eine Gerätebeschreibungsdatei typischerweise für Beckhoff.
Zu deinen Steppern. Hier müsstest du sagen, was das für Geräte sind und ob sie CIA402 kompakibel sind.
Wenn sie das sind, ist das implementieren relativ unproblematisch. sic.^^
Verkabeln, anstöpseln, eine Vorlage hier im Forum raussuchen und entsprechend deiner Konfiguration anpassen.
 

there is not but i can add one, thats a good idea since there is already one for the main tabs

lol.. good point!

One down...

 

Is there a setting to startup with the user sidebar displayed like there is for the user tab?

Please don't encourage me.
ordered a lenovo touch screen laptop as well, all coming next week

Me too.

That's why it's useful, at least in my case, for something that needs to get my attention... my brain can't ignore anything that awful.

Getting started now on a re-do of the sidebar and user_buttons based on your updates and advice.  I'm leaving the ATC buttons and DRO alone, as those were both created without py file modifications.

Fingers crossed...

Trying to be as transparent as I can here. Newbie to all this github stuff and AI, but what would have taken me years took about 8 months with a couple other projects stemming from it while refactoring to C++. Not sure if I can, but this is my mess thus far. I have it working for the most part on my setup. github.com/klemvore-ai/CNCFusion

Yes, that’s correct. The signal is 1 Vpp, and I’ll be using an interpolator.

I was initially considering using Insize linear scales — I even bought them — but I came across some new HEIDENHAIN scales at a good opportunity, so I decided to go with a more reputable and proven brand.

It just seems like a very high price for a single cable. In fact, the price of the new cable is about the same as the price of the Chinese linear scale .

gonna try to be cheap on the other 2 and share the same card and just make an interface plug.

Might not be necessary as you can have 2 machines controlled by the same card and without moving any wires/plugs, as long as you need only one spindle speed and feedback control, the rest is easily manageable with multiple configs only.
Oh yeah, and if those two machines need more than 5 axis, find an IDC26 to DB25 adapter cable.

I changing the feed F command in G-code.
I also noticed that different tracks are driven for the F1000 and F5000.
For F1000, down to -10.80618622925091 mm.
For F5000, down to -10.77390521216340 mm.
Attached are the two scope files..

How different is the G-code between Mach and LinuxCNC? What are the main differences?
 

Basically, you should consider the g-code for Mach4 and LinuxCNC to be incompatible and under no circumstances run programs from one machine on the other.
Although simple code from a simple postprocessor will be executed correctly on both machines, this should be considered the exception, not the rule.
In extreme cases, running a foreign code will result in damage to the machine or injury to the operator, because there are codes that are written identically but executed differently. Such code will not generate an error, only unexpected movement.

So I asked AI if Linuxcnc could help with this.

Inspired by your text, I also asked AI a question. Honestly, I'm surprised because I got the absolutely correct answer:

Can Intel i9 with 64 GB RAM control a microwave oven?

Yes, a computer with an Intel i9 processor and 64 GB of RAM can technically control a microwave oven, but this is a complete overkill. 
How is this possible? 
Processing power: An i9 processor and 64 GB RAM have a million times more power than needed to run a microwave. 
Connection: The computer must send signals through ports (e.g. USB) to an additional electronic circuit. 
Control: This additional circuitry (such as an Arduino or network relay) must physically push the buttons buttons or turn on the microwave's power.
Why doesn't this make practical sense?
Microcontrollers: A regular microwave uses a small, simple chip (microcontroller) that costs a few dollars.
Power consumption: A computer with an i9 processor uses a lot of power when idle, while a microcontroller uses trace amounts of it.
Safety: A failure of the operating system on a powerful computer could accidentally turn on the microwave without supervision. 

Well, either you asked the wrong AI, or you asked the question wrong...

I also use E cam

i have a post i modified main things i had to fix are threading g33.

everything else in the post i have checked works well i use it on a production cnc lathe running linuxcnc.
Ecam is absolutely awesome. way better than fusion 360 lathe cam in my opinion and i used both for 2 years

my post currently still has one issue left. when using g97 constant spindle speed the post still outputs a D value for max speed. and linuxcnc throws a error on this so currently i just delete that code from the file. but it's on the list to fix at some stage.
