Please find attached two files.
Just place both files in your config dir.

Than add the following lines to the [DISPLAY] section of your INI file.

EMBED_TAB_NAME = Spindle Button
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = box_custom_4
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -x {XID} -H spindle_button.hal spindle_button.glade


After starting your config you have spindle increase and decrease button.

Hi,
  I did just like you suggested.
I saved the two files to my config directory.
I copy and paste the 3 lines of code above into the [DISPLAY] section (very bottom of that section).

After starting up the system, I do not see where the buttons are at?

Was there something else I needed top do?

Do you maybe have some set speeds for one or the other?
On my rotary plasma machines i make separate configs for every diameter tube, so speeds and distances are set accordingly.

Wire stuff, set up, test.

Magic. I'll work on it tomorrow.
I'm in the UK so my brain is shutting down despite my protestations.

Not a gcode expert but I suspect a gcode issue because:

29 float OUT 0 motion.feed-inches-per-minute
29 float OUT 0 motion.feed-inches-per-second
29 bit IN FALSE motion.feed-inhibit
29 float OUT 0 motion.feed-mm-per-minute
29 float OUT 0 motion.feed-mm-per-second
29 float OUT 0 motion.feed-upm

The feed rate is set to 0

(or feed override in the GUI is set for 0)

Woo, thanks for help

have you considered maybe buying a inexpensive turret style tool changer of alibaba, they have some decent ones. what's your email ? i have a catalog full. you could even add a Y axis one to get really fancy , for example like this unit. This would really make the shuablin a much more useful and automated machine for not much money.

Can you run your gcode and when stalled then

run (in a terminal)  :

halcmd show all motion. > motion.txt

( Note the . after motion )

and post motion.txt here

 

No spindle anything at the moment.
I have parts ready to install but I hoped to see the motion system working first.
(power relay, reversing relay and the pwm to 0-10V parts for the speed controller)
For the G0 neither of my Spindle CW or CCW outputs are setting which seems reasonable.

I was surprised to discover spindle.0.at-speed was set but it must be some sort of default as there is nothing wired.
Are there any other 'must have' items you can think of?
(I only set the S code in case it wanted it when I was starting to get desperate.)

I can reproduce that. Yes it happens only on a touch screen. Very annoying.
Thanks for reporting this!

Does it have any spindle feedback?
Is the spindle.at-speed set to true?
Use the "show hal configuration" from the "machine" menu to watch the pins.

Thanks! You're a legend. Got it to work and the jitter dropped to about 12000ns.

I've tried to edit the grub file so it loads the RTAI kernel by default as a quality of life improvement. Unfortunitely, editing GRUB_DEFAULT didn't work because the kernal options are in the "advanced options" menu. I'd love to know how to get the system to boot using the RTAI kernal without having to intercept the GRUB menu every time.

If it helps here is the User Manual for the Logitech Dual Action F310 Controller

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
No idea if it works on Ubuntu 24 but it did on 22 or 23.
The above also works on Linux Mint Debian Edition 6, should also work on Debian 13.

Leave them in breaks cleaning fluid for a night, should unclog... hopefully
Use an LED and a resistor on a parallel port pin and gnd, look at them turning on and off while joging in LinuxCNC.
