Oh. Doh!!!!!

Thanks a lot. I was so focused on the comp, I missed the obvious.

Hmm.  I didn't check on a sim, just my real hardware.

My backplot jumps when I do the switchkins switch, but no amount of fiddling could get the hardware X-axis to move when I had velocity set to zero.

I understand.

I would have chosen that approach.
First, set up a system where the module runs, and then read the communication data.
I think it’s very consistent of you not to use Windows.
Respect.
As far as I know, there are also system managers that run on Linux.
Would that be an option?

Yes, this.

I went through all the recommended steps on the forum with the exception of clearing the disk of Windows and partitioning the whole disk as MBR and then reinstalling windows.

You still have the:
.turret.hal:1: Unknown command ''

Try running it through a dos/win to Linux script, might be some strange character there.

 

Yeah, I see that too.

I tried a few different ways to identify and remove strange characters, and even completely rewrote the code by hand into visual code studio. It compiles without error and runs without error in Halrun, but only fails as part of a full linuxcnc start.

If I fall back on somehing like 2.8.4 buster ISO, do I loose your latest macros layout?

I think that it should work as long as you have GTK3

Might have better luck searching the Debian forums with this, although win11.....

Bump.
They post plenty of new videos, but i did not have time to watch them.

Interesting. Just checked on a sim on 2.10pre and setting ini velocities to 0 does not quite work for me. The tool moves to the start of the spiral and then moves back. A bit strange really:

 

Same on 2.9.8

thats true, i did that because we now listed everything here in the docs. I will remove the machine setup file ini since it can be copied directly from the docs page instead and will be kept more current. good looking out susan-parker!

Hans contacted over the github bug tracker, to have me run the Gmoccapy lathe sim, and sure enough, there is no scaling error behaviour there.

So I also tried the Gmoccapy Lathe_Macros sim, and that has the scaling behavior error.

When I created my current config, copied my old 2.8.2 config files, and cut paste the lathe macro files from this sim. Any ideas where I need to look for corrective action appreciated.

I tried running just the turret.comp under halrun, and have the same result as Andy. It works.
 

But when I call it from my custompostgui.hal, it errors out. See attached error logs.
