I need to make Linuxcnc open with the feed and rapid closed, I've asked this question before, but I didn't get any results, I saw another post that the guy did using Python, but I didn't understand what he did, I even asked a question in his post, but no answer, can anyone help me?

You could create a  USER_COMMAND_FILE  in your config directory with a copy of the method from glnav.py like below. You do need to restart LinuxCNC to apply each change.

I looked at this post, but I didn't understand what was done so that Linuxcnc when opened has the feed override and the rapid override closed, I tried everything, can you explain to me how to do it, I know this issue has been going on for a while, I've been away for a while, thanks if anyone can help me

Well, the file seems to be /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glnav.py , but I find my intuition for spherical coordinates is severely lacking. Setting the lat/lon to 0,0 gets the wire into the horizontal plane, but rotating it around in a desirable fashion is proving difficult. Is there a way to overload this set_view_p function somewhere downstream so I don't have to edit a python3 package, creating problems with future system software updates?

Thanks again.

Excellent.
I am updating the docs on this a bit. hopefully you can critique the docs update later
when I push them.

and again. thanks for the quick reply.
note my last edit in my last post.
I did add some hal commands, and I think it's working ok now.
 

You are using the development version of linuxcnc.
Documentation will never be perfect, It's lucky there are any updated documentation in the master version, mostly because it constantly changes and a lack of time.
Obviously we are not paid to do this work.

It is expected that you will try to figure things out yourself and then ask questions on what you can't.
Some people then write new documentation from the info they figured out and/or were told about and offer it to linuxcnc, so as to help out. This is very helpful.
It's in fact harder to write good docs when you already know how something is supposed to work as you don't think about other ways to operate the feature.

Ok which problem do you want to work on first?

You can see in the picture there is a button that says 'no lift' eg spindle lift is turned off.
You can see in the pic the setting 'spindle raise' is set to 0 inches eg no spindle raise amount.
If you set these to 'spindle raise' and 1 inch respectably, run a program and then pause the program, you should see the program pause and the spindle stop and the spindle raise 1 inch.
This absolutely works in the sim configs.

This new feature - inhibit spindle when probe is loaded- is new so the sim has not integrated it.

Both features require controlling the spindle.0.inhibit pin. you can't normally have two driver pins connected to an input. If you use an OR2/logic component (or classicladder/custom component) you can.
You would need to connect qtdragon.spindle-inhibit to one OR input and qtversaprobe.probe-loaded to the other OR input and connect the OR output to spindle.0.inhibit
Now either event will inhibit the spindle.

if you erase the preference file entries while linuxcnc is not running and don't run any version that still uses the old version of versaprobe,you won't see it again.

I was wondering about this myself, so glad it was made a topic. Foam cutters seem to be seeing an increase
in interest. ( Me included ) I am also curious about it showing a 5th axis.

Nah, it was my late and careless editing of our DNS records
after our hosting provider moved servers around...

I was hoping it wasn't due to the crowd strike debacle.

Try setting the netmask to /24
and disabling IPV6 in the network settings for enp4s0

once again.  thanks for the quick reply.
see attached image.

also I keep deleting this, but it keeps coming back..

ok, did some more careful reading and hal coding.
added this to the postgui hal file

#####net spindle-pause     qtdragon.spindle-inhibit       =>   spindle.0.inhibit
##
## these are in simulated_home.hal
###loadrt or2 names=or2_0,or2_spin
###addf or2_0    servo-thread
###addf or2_spin servo-thread
net tmp1  qtdragon.spindle-inhibit    or2_spin.in0
net tmp2  qtversaprobe.probe-loaded   or2_spin.in1
net spin-off  or2_spin.out   spindle.0.inhibit





 

Show me a pic of your qtdragon screen.

wow, thanks for the quick reply.
I don't even know what the spindle-raise-on-pause is.... or where it is.
I am using the supplied sim.qtdragon.qtdragon_inch.ini      see the attached .ini file.
I do not see the raise thing anywhere. not in the .ini or in the .pref
Where does 'spindle pause' come from?
I see in the SETTINGS panel, there is a SPINDLE RAISE. it's set to 0. when the heck does it take effect?
I know how to use hal. Been doing it for a long time. and I definitely RTFM.   I do realize documentation is not much fun, but it's needed........and so is updating it.

ok, checking the current docs.  found 'Auto Raise Z Axis on Spindle Pause'
it says there are buttons.  not so.....OK just found it.  not in setting like it ought to be.  it's on the start/stop/etc.... page.
