Thanks everyone, ill dig into the above suggestions. 

And yes, i should have been a little clearer, im not worried about the following error stuff, i was just happy to be seeing signs of life. 

Ok, think I have figured it out, most of it at least. Had to make a visual representation of the HAL finnstrom posted. See attachement. Also got it sort of working on my machine. Tanks so much!Some things I'll try to adopt

• Instead of controlling with coolant-mist, I would do it with a motion.digital-out pin controlled with M62 and M63
• Trying to get the w_offset from actual w0 in current coordinate system. My thought is to touch of both Z to the work piece, and set w0 in G54 (for example) at the desired height. Then, somehow in HAL, calculate the w0 offset from w joint zero. In the (unlikely) event that I need dust shoe for G55 etc, this should enable this to work.
• In conjunction with above, I think I need jogging to work (in qtdragon) to easy set w0 current coordinate system.

Thank you so much I am still having problems setting up the limit and home switches in the main hal , I used mesa CT here are my files, I noticed you used the code down below but i cant seem to replicat it without error

You are correct I have a paid license. I used to use the free version some time ago and I don't remember it having that limitation but I know they have made multiple license changes over time for the free version which is unfortunate. Glad to see you have made a solution to work around it.

I don't use axis but this post may be similar to what you are looking for:

Hi,
I'm trying to run a little test program, and it aborts with the fault message: 'Motor 0 Positionssfehler (sic!) Position: relativ erwartet' ('motor 0 positioning error position: relative expected').
The program is this:

%
(G90: Set to Absolute Positioning)
G90
(G94: Feed Rate Mode Units per Minute)
G94
(G17: Select XY plane for arc moves for G2 G3)
G17
(G21: Set Units to Millimeters)
G21
(G54: Select coordinate system 1)
G54

G1 X0 Y0 F1000
G1 X10 Y0
G1 X10 Y10
G1 X0 Y10
G1 X0 Y0

M30
%

I'm a bit surprised since I'm setting G90. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

P.S. little typo: 'Positionssfehler' should be 'Positionsfehler'

Try this:

It reduced latency for me.

Make sure your PC is not home to vast quantities of dust, it will block fans and airflow, and makes stuff work less well.

I have a working configuration with LinuxCNC using AXIS and would like to try switching to Probe Basic.  I've gone thru the Pncconf trying to create a Probe Basic configuration and it seems to require configuration of Mesa cards which I don't have.  I'm using direct GPIO into a Rpi hat, which isn't directly supported from the standard stepconf tool either, but I was hoping to do what I did with stepconf -- make a config that assumes normal Linux parallel port configuration, and then modify that to use the Rpi GPIO HAL.

I saw a reference to a Probe Basic sim configuration in another thread with the suggestion that someone with a working normal stepconf config could look at the Probe Basic sim config and see what modifications need to be made.  But I can't find that sim config.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hello,
I found the file qtdragon_handler.py on my hard drive and copied it to my machine folder, and now it works.
So, it seems there's a path missing from my .INI file?

Hello,

Thanks for the quick help.
Now I just deleted the comments in the Ini and the mistake has disappeared. But the comments were at least half a year without problems.
Something must have changed lately.
I left the comments in the change routine.
Very strange.

Many greetings and thanks, Frank

I'll have a look tomorrow, what ISO are you using, exact filename will make life easier, any particular reason for 2.7.14 ?
Windows or Linux host ?

hello every one thank's a lot for your supporting reviews 
I will try to reply all your questions 
maximumm Y length : could be mostly infinite but more probably arround 10 to 50 m as I'm mainly intrested in kite building (or hot air balloons if it works ) 
fabric to be cut will be mainly spinaker nylon witch is unstrechable and has 2 different sizes of frame that make a small patern easyly sens by optical mouse sensors 
ESP cam is a great idea if it could keep track of move even when speed rising up mouse sensor is mainly a very low res grey scale cam 

fabric tension : first idea was only to add a bit aof static friction on non pulling side motors but torque management is a good point too 
it could also avoid me to do somthing I've not explain yet I was planning to make in cutting back plate 2 serries of holes and hook it to small but enough vacuum source to suck the fabric on the back plate and cut between tow lines of holes 

to avoid wrinkles and other disasters when roolling and unrolling already cut parts I was thinking doing some kind of timestamping or tabs like on pcb pannels or others flat milling machines or wood or composites pannels 
 
thank's for all your advice 
now I think the best thing is to try few things 
can you please advise me some harware in order to connect all of this 
6 stepper controller (may be I will use one more small stepper to focus laser beam)
and 2 or 3 esp cam or mouse sensors (may be I can also get a closed loop on X axis)
 

I am now trying to install under VirtualBox. It never completes. End of log:

Hi,

I’m guessing you’re using Fusion 360 with a paid license? I’m just a hobbyist and only use the free version (not for commercial work), which is much more limited. When I try to export multiple operations with different tools at once, Fusion 360 warns me that this isn’t possible in the free version—I have to save each operation as a separate file as suggested by fusion360. So, for LinuxCNC/Fusion360 users like me, the options are either to load each file separately in LinuxCNC (after each one ends), or to merge all files into a single program, which is what I do with my own script.

Even as a hobbyist, I often need toolchanges: most of my projects require a roughing pass with a large end mill and then finishing with a smaller tool.

Question:
Does anyone know if it’s possible to display a popup or notification when running an M0 or M1 g-code in the AXIS GUI? I’d like to give myself (or any user of my script) a clear notification to change tools, especially since when remapping M6 I lose the standard toolchange popup.

Thanks!

Hello,
I'm using the file pause_pin_2023-09-18.py and I'm getting an error message.
I started LinuxCNC in the terminal with "linuxcnc -v My-Machine.ini" and I get this message:

User command file for pause pin found

[QTvcp.QTVCP.QT_MAKEGUI][ERROR]  No module named 'qtdragon_handler' (qt_makegui.py:361)
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "pause_pin.py", line 5, in <module>
    import qtdragon_handler as SELF
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qtdragon_handler'

How can I fix the error?
