HAllo zusammen,

ich habe schonmal gesucht aber bisher nichts passendes gefunden. Hat jemand eine .ngc Datei oder eine laufendes Script mit der man ein Laser GRid erstellen kann mit Speed und Power?

Danke vorab.
Bei mir meckert er bei dem bestehnden immer.

Beste GRüße

Christoph

Brilliant Thanks for all the help

Congratulations !
and thanks again for your contribution to linuxcnc

I want to use a Button in the Main Ui to Open the Pop-up ui. The Pop-up ui will get some pressure Displays and checkboxes. But i dont See a Problem by implementing this. The Problem is that i didnt found anything about creating a Pop-up Like that. Im Sure If i Get that to Work, the Buttons etc. I can get it done by myself

I didnt understand what do you mean by balancing the signal? Please explain.

I was follwing your work on TMC5160 on LinuxCNC.
How can I use TMC5160 on LinuxCNC on this board. I need just TMC5160 is configured via connected SPI cable nothing else. And remora will operate as regular step/dir mode.

I'm sorry i will try to look at this on the weekend.
To be clear:
you want a customizable popup dialog/window that is show on HAL pin change.
You are otherwise using Qtdragon?

set machine for immediate homing, move to position with hand wheels, home all

Try it.

Readme files are not part of the official documentation and AFAIK one can't link to it.

One can link pages of docs to other pages of docs.
this is a pretty good refrence for docs:
docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/syntax-quick-reference/

What should be on the page is what you think users will need to know to use it. keep in mind most users using docs will not be seasoned users so don't assume too much of what they know.

Critical is just to make sure it is always shown. so yes ok.

Fold order: top, ,bottom, left tab, left, right tab, right.

 I don't know much either. Here is a part I folded a lot in batches of 20.
 

The press brake had the knife and lower V block defined in the commercial control. First I numbered each bend on the paper drawing (6 in total) in the order I wanted to do them
Where a flange had already been folded, I would manually deduct the width of the material (2 mm) for the back gauge
Then I built the bend list as you say bend number, angle, length
From memory, there was a calibration screen that set the angle and it was set to under bend just a little but so we had some adjustment on the first part.

Ideally, the operator would not need to know the axis positions and instead you would calculate that from known maths.

Over time, I tweaked the  dimensions and bends to get as perfect as I could and the job was saved in the control for next time.  Good luck

Nice!

FYI, flexGUI is not part of linuxcnc so a GUI based on it will not be package-able with linuxcnc.
But if you made something in flexGUI, it's probably not that hard to re-imagine it in Gladevcp or Qtvcp afterwards.

I like the idea of a quick drawing for reference.

Happy to hear you solved your problem! In case you need some extra SPI cable length, you could balance the signal. I did a test and was able to transmit a 4MHz SPI signal to a driver over several meters of cable. I think it could get way faster than 4MHz, but I did try it so far as it is the max frequency of my driver. 

Not sure if I caught on, am I correct:
1. You're jogging the machine by turning handwheels attached to each axis while the motors are powered off,
2. You want the resulting position to be your starting point.

Which GUI are you using? I experimented in Axis, I can do touch-off and enter a value instead of 0 to tell it where it is starting. You will need to know how far from home you jogged it, and enter that value in touch off for each axis.
EDIT:
Sorry, I was wrong. That will not work. Entering an offset moves the part away from the tool. I think my brain needs sleep soon.

Lacking any other options to reliably jog it, you might use MDI commands to send it to the touchoff point. If it is in incremental mode 'jogging' might be less complicated compared to absolute mode depending how quick you are with math.

Surely switching the jog increments from 'continous' to a specific value would suffice, and be easier than MDI commands. It should then only move the specified distance each time you press a key, if it continues anyway, I would suspect a problem with the keyboard auto-repeat on your system.

I'm working on a press brake retrofit and need a GUI for it. This is going to be a full fledged GUI hopefully somewhat universal in hopes of making future press brake retrofits much easier. My goal is to come up with a couple example configs that could be packaged with LinuxCNC. I think I will create it using FlexGUI. My big problem is, I have little experience actually operating press brakes and will need some guideance on what features are required and which ones will just waste screen space.
Any offers to help with the coding will also be appreciated, however, I am willing to jump in myself and see what I can do with it.

I assume it will need at least:
0. Touchscreen freindly.

1. A "status" ribbon across the top displaying current operational status, including color-coding; like red for errors, yellow for warnings, green or blue otherwise.

2. DRO displaying position of movable beam (the die). How about also displaying positions of all axis? I performed service work on a 12 axis press brake a year or two ago, it had Y1, Y2 (left and right side of upper beam). The backstop consisted of two independant 3-axis stops: R1, R2, X1, X2, Z1, Z2. Crowning was 9th axis. Variable width bottom die was 10th axis. Sheet lifter in front of press had height and angle (axis 11-12)...

3. Program bends table. The program will need to contain various parameters for each 'bend' in the part. The table on the 'Run' screen hardly needs to display every fine detail. I'm thinking maybe 4 columns: 'Bend Number', 'Length', 'Angle', 'Notes'.

4. Tonnage control: how visible does this want/need to be for the operator? Least visible = just set it in the programming screen, or more visible, say a big guage displaying tonnage live?

5. Editting the 'part program' should probably be done on a separate tab or screen.
5.a My first version of the editor will be basic: enter the go-to positions for each axis to configure that specific bend.
5.b My goal for a 'real' editor is one where you can select dies, enter tab lengths and bend angles, and it produces the parameters for the bending program. This editor should have a 2D display of dies and plate and can possibly be a separate app.

What am I overlooking?

I will start drawing the ui...
