Preview plot with touchscreen gestures

Category: Gmoccapy

Hello everyone,

i was facing the same problem preview plot bug in LinuxCNC 2.9.4 with Gmoccapy 3.4.9 as described in this thread: Question: Gmoccapy 3.4.2 and touchscreen
Preview only moves a couple of mm then stops.

So i decided to change the gremlin.py to use the Gtk3 Gestures. With the modified version you can rotate the preview with one finger again, but also zoom in and out with pinch gestures as well as pan with two fingers. In X, Y, Z view the rotation is locked, only zoom + pan. As of right now it will disable the mouse, but my machine only has the touchscreen so for me its no problem.

~$xinput list show my touchscreen as:

eGalaxTouch Virtual Device for Single
eGalaxTouch Virtial Device for Touch

No further driver installed. Tested with fresh 2.9.4 live iso.

Just replace gremlin.py in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/

I just wanted to drop this file in here in case someone has the same problem. It does not work in Axis though! There the preview jumps to a random place, but it is the same behaviour with the original gremlin.

Also made a small video:

Greetings,

I think I had a similar situation.

I needed to activate G64 to tell the controller not to move until the previous event had finished it's travel.

Cheers,

Dave

I have an issue that im sure some of you know the solution. It seems linuxCNC/ AXIS processor instead of completing a move to a coordinate begins moving to the next coordinate creating a curve/ bend toolpath between the two points, almost like a shortcut. It does this only from an X or Y cordinate to a Z and vise versa, but not from an X to Y coordinate. Please help !! thanks.

Great news!

I also tried more modern versions of the MPLAB X IDE, are not able to properly read the original hex format.

Well actually those editors are reading it correctly. Data after the End-Of-File should not exist. A good Editor should just say sth. like "can't open file - wrong entry" or "do you want to ignore the error?"....
The Editor/Programmer PCW is reading does not read it correctly as it ignores the EOF Entry without saying so.
Wikipedia says:

:00000001FF End Of File: Must occur exactly once per file in the last record of the file.

But well - the initial problem is solved and I don't think I will put effort in fixing Microchip's tools or Toolchains.
@PCW: Please keep the EOF bug in mind whenever you send hex files made by the same toolchain.
Thank you for the fixed firmware!

Category: Driver Boards

Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask a favour of some more experienced users than myself.
I am making the electronics with the 7I96 and the CL86T drives, the connections for the motor management I managed to connect.
Now I am missing the limit switches e-stop and Z-Finder, could you kindly check on the attached diagram if the connections are correct?
Thanks
Milko

I am not in Australia.
I do like Australia, with all the creatures that can kill people easily, mostly because of people.

Why does it seem like everyone here is Australian?

Category: Off Topic and Test Posts

It seems all permanent, long-standing members, contributors, moderators, etc. are Australian.

Why is this?

Why would a place with a hot climate have lots of people who work with heat-producing machinery in a room that likely has no A/C?

Machines likely need cooling water (fresh, not salty), a rarish thing in Australia.

I suppose close proximity to Asia is nice, but is kinda counterracted by the fact that it's far away from the USA (though Trump is successfully making proximity to the US less desirable).

Nice work on the update to probe_basic. The status tab is perfect! I see this is an older post, but maybe you can share the update or some notes on how you made it. I want to create something very similar. Newbie here and not sure where to start.

None of the axis are moving - using mesa 7i92t with 7i76u

Category: Basic Configuration

Hi All
Yes, the W4 jumper on the 7i92t was down, and it is now up.
The linuxcnc config loads, the inputs also work , and there is also movement on the motors

A very very big thank you, to the knowledgeable folks on this forum, for sharing your valuable time, wisdom, and knowledge with me, it is greatly appreciated.
As a person new to Linuxcnc , there are so many things that we don't know.
Be braver than me, post a question sooner than I did.
(For folks reading this post in the future, the wiring currently is differential, and seems to be working fine).

Warning: Spoiler!

At the risk of the blind leading the blind, to me that is not quite the right question. That chart is for your micro-stepping. Like the 800 is 4 microsteps, if you're using a 1.8 deg. stepper. I have always looked at it this way - What are you doing with the motor? If your opening a door or driving a ram, picking 800 would be fine, but using that on a belt or lead screw may very well end up leaving artifacts in the work due to the rougher movement between points. The downside is the more micro-steps you have the more torque you lose. 3200 (16 micro-steps) seams to be a reasonable middle ground that most use as standard. The controller will put out as many steps as directed by LinuxCNC to make a revolution, just a matter of how fast it can do it. Whatever you chose, that gets figured out when you tell LinuxCNC in your .ini file how many pulses it takes to move one unit. That is set with the SCALE on each axis. Like for me, I have 16 micro-steps (3200) and a 5mm pitch screw, which works out to SCALE = 640 or -640 depending which way you need the motor to move.

Thanks for reply,
I have set 12800 and testing some gcode only with Y working.
I don't want to cause problems when all the stepper and spindle are physically working.
