Sounds like a good way end the day / year to me rodw. I am about to break the seal on a bottle of
a Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

Forgot to mention ( in case of incoherency) that I am working my way through the last of a bottle of Canadian Whiskey before I fly home tomorrow 

Well they could charge your credit card like they did for me! Took a bit to get that reversed...
Also cancelled my adobe subscription.

Unfortunately, I have to boot Windows to run the Anycubic Slicer for my 3d printer so I am not shuffling gcode and USB drives.
There was a time I knew Windows backwards, now I am a bit bamboozled by it!

Same thing happening to me, nearly the same setup too, did you ever find a solution?

rodw detesting Windows? No, that's not possible  .  Unfortunately I am stuck with both Windows and Fusion 360 
at least for a little while longer anyway. But it does give me a unique opportunity to see what exactly Autodesk
does when the clock rolls over. Well I guess I will see in a few hours. LOL

This is really awesome work. I would stick to the igc driver which is real time when generic isn't
But from what I am hearing, optimising for system and network latency will probably avoid the issue.
I have a video about that and one user reports he got latency down to about 6 usec following my tutorial.
I suspect by running a latency optimised system has meant I have never experienced this.

You CAN disable completely screen saver and still have the monitor go off after a while, use "power options", they are not the same thing.

Sorry not much help as I am in British Columbia, Canada ATM so  similar time zone to the OP (not 2026 yet!). I cancelled my F360 subscription and have been using Onshape to create STL files for 3D printing. I think when I get back  to needing CAD, I will try Freecad on Linux (Did I tell you I detest Windows?) There is collaboration between our devs and theirs starting with their tool handling API so I think it will be worth playing with.

I think so

Well it's almost 8:00pm  or 20:00 here in Florida. Just 4 hours to go. Some sporadic fireworks here and there. Though tonight
I think I will have a drink, not that I see much to celebrate. It just seems fitting given what 2025 has been.

So the issue is the screensaver is doing what it is designed to do ?

Thank you for the files!
That is not a documentation, only a lot of not really understandable words.
The connection and reading I have tested.
Now i have to figure it out how to scale it correctly and how to transfer to the VFD the input commands.

Sorry, I am definitely not an expert in this. You can take a look at my config and the documentation here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/drivers/mb2hal.html
Attached is my mb2hal ini file and the spindle bits from my hal file. I am not an expert but I was able to figure it out just with the VFD manual and the documentation.

I just checked master has new option for

[TRAJ]
NO_PROBE_JOG_ERROR = 1

in the .ini file, you could use that to check if the issue goes away?

you have to make sure your version supports this, it's just been added 4 months ago

Yeah, sorry, might have mixed you with PhillC, i have a very nasty habit of messing up names... and most probably you would too if you lived here where every person has one of 15-20 names used here. I was convinced this is my problem till about 15 years ago when i noticed i have no issues with complicated names that are not common here, but still the habit lingers ...
Also a non drinker.
23:58 here and the fireworks started....
Happy new year to all.
