Were you changing your speed from 5000 to 1000 using the feed override or by changing the feed F command in your G-code?

Snowgoer, I helped Cutnweld with the upgrade. We are using Buildbot 2 on Debian Bookworm (MX Linux in this case). I upgraded the linuxcnc-uspace package using Synaptic Package Manager. The system has a lot of other OS and package updates that could be run but I opted not to do this -- last time we did, we had a huge nightmare getting networking up again due to Realtek NIC drivers compiled with DKMS. So I'm afraid to try kernel upgrades on a system that's working. 

Cutnweld's table has been running very happily for several years now but we wanted to address a bug related to material selection so hence the update to latest. That's when his problems started.

As he stated above, we downloaded deb 2.10.0-pre0.6259.g34c07071bf_amd64.deb and installed manually. The QtPlasmaC version displayed is the same as before, though. Let me know if you have any other technical questions and I'll try to answer them.

Hello Forum,
I have been wrestling with getting linuxcnc to run on a flask app on localhost for now.

What does that mean?

Actually installed .deb file 2.10.0-pre0.6259.g34c07071bf_amd64.deb, it did not change QT tho, it is still on newest version. Update on action, it does not seem to have much of a schedule, back to reversing along cut path when I hit pause, it would be cute if it was younger but it used to be so well behaved The reason for update was a cut material bug we didnt like on the older version, Is there a way for me to find out which version I had been running?

I broadened the scope of the flash to all widgets in qtdesigner and went ahead and updated the cycle start button to flash on pause, much nicer and more noticeable without being a blight on the ui in bright yellow.. I hate yellow...lol

I am not able to understand what was done in the video (the one using AI in Fusion 360). maybe it is me.
 

I got to thinking, it might be helpful to see a comparison image, the image on the left is the actual image used for testing, the center is a trace using the simulator, and the right is an actual trace done on my machine. 

Hello Forum,
I have been wrestling with getting linuxcnc to run on a flask app on localhost for now. I can never seem to get the machine out of estop, power on, home and jog. I also tried using halcmd to do this. Same thing was happening. Is it even possible to do this? 
I have 2 boards, Mesa 7i95T and 7i96S. I have Linuxcnc 2.10~pre on an I5 computer and have also run  2.9 ISO on a stick to do this.
Thank you for your support,
Keith

My layout (no cabinet yet) is very messy, but here's an old photo of it:
www.delorie.com/photos/cnc2/PXL_20240324_210728573.html
I went with DIN rails for mine, one for mains power control (top) and one for low voltage (middle).  The mains rail has circuit breakers and contactors, and the contactors are wired into the estop chain.  The main logic power's contactor is wired into the on/off buttons so it defaults to off after a power failure.
You can mount power supplies on their sides if you need to save space.
Don't forget to leave space inside the box for vents and fans top and bottom.
Your estop should be more conveniently located.  Or buy more than one of them

Thank you Andy.
I did get the .tcl version running, but it is tied to Axis so the Reload button doesn't appear for PathPilot.
I will give the python one a try, at least there is then a hope of tying it PathPilot somehow.

Hi Juergen,

Thank you for your purchase and the kind word.

Step, STL and DXF work. DXF will be prompted for an extrusion thickness.

Hope you like the experience.

I treated myself to these
Very easy installation super....
A basic question which drawing expot should I take from Freecad ???

King regarde
Juergen

Got it, moving eventually to uspace is the right move...

I'm still here, but not quite as often as I used to be, I had to switch jobs and no longer have as much time at a computer and don't work with CNC routers daily any more. I can and will offer what advice I have for free here. So ask questions.

I live in NE Ohio. So unless you are local to me I will not be able to offer on site consulting/work. I simply do not have the free time between family and work commitments to do a lot of travel.
