@Wez,
How the hell did you cram all that stuff into an ESP32?
Hal2UDP version works, your version is refusing to work on a Wroom module, no network, and ipconfig will reset it.
The rest seems ok, can set motors, enable wifi, etc.
Will report back later if i manage to find the culprit.
It is the "doit" version with strange pinout so had always issues with it, will also try another board

Yes, it can do indepent axis foam cutter, i have made several of them, and it can have configurations for 2 axis with 4 joints or tandem and a configuration for independent 4 axis, even 5 is you want to add a rotary table.

Thank you for reply, by meaning scara - i do have in mind to replace two linear rails with two steppers and some gears on it. For each side. For smaller one it is ok to have 1:4 gear ratio to have ok resolution for foam cutter. With 8 microstep it shell give 0.1227mm step ~0.5mm at 500mm arm radius.

I have made mre than one foam cutter and i do hate to drag it around. Scara would be wery compact then not used.
 

Not sure if anything changed, but XYZ were always linear and ABC were always angular, but i know i have set A axis as linear and it worked for what i need. The gremlin (vizualization on GUI) might still show it as angular, though, and i do not know how to change that.
Should wait for someone with more knowledge to chime in.

In the hal file, the loadrt line containing Mesa IP address, the number of encoders is set to 1, should be set to 8 i think, see your other topic already replied by PCW.
Then you would have to also change the encoder number, most probably from encoder.00 to encoder.06 for every entry of that encoder.

...just discovered this a few days ago and i am really impressed! Really nice work, also with the configuration wizard in the docker container! 

Just stepped inside the LinuxCNC world with a rudimentary BOB setup, so maybe a bit early... but i am really considering having a look at this

Cheers!

Hello. Is it possible to configure linuxcnc for two scara x/y and u/z axis from same controller ? Ie - i would like to make a cnc foam cutter, and have independednt sides controlled from same controller for tapered cuts. .

There should be three of encoder A, numbered 0, 1, and 2. Click the arrow next to the encoder you want for arc voltage.

If you are using an encoder for ohmic comp you need to do that manually after PnCconf has completed, the default ohmic sensing for QtPlasmaC is done using a solid state relay rather than a THCAD.

When would suit you?

This version supports touch screens
 

Not sure if it is to late but here is the Hal file that i used for my shuttle.

As a warning every now and then i would get a run away when using the outer jog wheel thing where it would just go all the way on the axis. As a result i mainly used the jog wheel in the middle and have now transitioned to a normal pendant using a 7i73 for stepping.
To make it work all you should have to do is include the HALFILE in your .ini

#Shuttle Pendant
HALFILE = shuttle.hal 

Looks fine

If is was something like on abort, shouldn't it do it all the time? I mean like for any program?

Well, yes but since this is an obscure problem it is not likely just related to your hal and ini files.

I think I need to try and revert back to before trying to install easy probe.

Indeed, the easiest would be if you had made a copy of your machine config folder before trying to do the install.

I found it finally. I don't see anything in it but here it is. I hope you do. I think I need to try and revert back to before trying to install easy probe.
1- I was unsuccessful in the install (didn't try very hard)
2- not using it since I was unsuccessful
3- never experienced anything like this over the last 12 years or so since finding EMC

Thanks for the tips.
Does Axis support touch screens ?
I was thinking using Gmocappy.

Yeah, sorry I'm at a loss also.
I was thinking of getting linux mint and installing Linuxcnc on that.
After all this is a fresh install I am attempting to install the mesact on.
