I also strongly recommend you put the entire method in a try/catch and have different error types return different HTTP error codes and the error message.

Not a Python expert, but this is an idea:

I installed the r8125-dkms as my adapter was RTL8125
 Still no luck but the output for dmesg has changed slightly

What else can I try now?
Also, I got this device description file for my drive from the manufacturer. What do I do with this?

 

Thank you Joco!

This works and I'm able to control my plasmacutter. I really like the interface.

I'm now only facing an issue loading g-code. I'm using the plasmac post processor for Sheetcam which outputs .tap files. When I load a file, I get the message “unknown word where unary operation could be”. I just assume, it has something to do with the filte section in my INI-File.

Is it possible, that the preprocessor cannot interpret my .tap. file?

like this?

This method checks every limit switch and adds a corresponding value if it is tripped.
I really recommend you make useful little methods like this one instead of jamming everything into one method in one file.

If no limits are active, it returns 0, if all limits are tripped, it returns 2^1-1.

I recommend you make a separate .py file for little methods like this and import it so the main file is empty and easy to read/understand/debug.

What version of PathPilot are you running?  

You said you added logging, what did you do exactly?  Where was it crashing?  I assume you running PathPilot in a way that allows you to see the terminal, so you could wrap the offending areas in a try/except and print the exception to the screen when it fails.  

I would not mess with refactoring Tormach's code, that otherwise works.

You need to write some helper methods so this code makes more sense.

The "one huge method" approach does not work well, especially in Python.

Make sure the method can never have more than con simultaneous execution.

Have a variable that causes the method to immediately return if it is already running.

@CaliusOptimus, check out the ALTAROS Automatic Turret Head:

CNC4XR7 on YouTube installed one and has a few videos on it.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, it's inside the mill(TormachUIBase) class. The indentation got messed up when I copied it over, but I can assure you it's correct in the actual code because the function does work 'sometimes'.

The suggestion to keep the code concise is a good idea, but I'm hesitant to trim it down too much as this mirrors the PathPilot reset code. The last thing I'd want is to initialize one of the HAL pins correctly and that would cause even more issues. I'm really not experienced in the CNCs and have been only tinkering on and on off for about 3 years.

I tried a few cuts at 20 amps and got arc ok, but couldn't get any at 10 amps, which is fine, can't imagine needing 10 amps.
I did a fair bit of cutting at 45 amps and I did lose the arc ok signal in the middle of a cut. It was artsy text so I assume the feed was lowered automatically like it does for small holes. It only happened once, so it may be a fluke.

I have plasmac.arc-lost-delay set to .1. Should I try increasing that or is there a better solution?

I sure hope this hypertherms amp setting is more accurate than your china one, since I have no way of measuring actual amps.

Thanks for your responses! I ordered the 7i96S and the 7i84U.

Probably overkill in terms of the amount of I/O, but now I can go hog wild with panel buttons (just kidding).

Now onto picking components for the CNC lathe conversion!

The view setting is not really necessary, as somehow machine zero is centered at startup. So i removed the ini entry. After loading gcode, the desired view can be selected, and then its centered in the preview. So i solved this by finding my workflow

 

Wow, nobody has replied after a month!

Is this issue still valid?

Did you fix it?

Huh?

Picture?

Which 8 shape figure?

Perhaps the indentation is wrong?

Your code has a lot of errors and is not nearly as streamlined as it could be, though I have not worked with Python for about 2 years.

Bugs hide within overly long code.

Short, efficient code is much easier to debug.

Try to use methods to guarantee unifority of funtionality across the program!

Don't return a 400 "Bad Request" error if the limit switch is active.

Use 500 or 503 or something.
