The firmware is installed. The mpg counts, but there is no connection to axis.

Unfortuately HALUI doesn't integrate well with guis.
Overrides changes in HALUI will show in QtDragon but not HALUI jog speed.
There has been some work on this recently but it hasn't made it in linuxcnc yet.

It's possible to add custom code/pins to qtdragon to help with integration.
Can you be specifics about what you need?

Looks fantastic in pics! haven't trued it yet.

Always interested in contructive feedback good or bad - really am.
But stuff like this makes me shake my head a bit.

Compiling problems aren't usually QtDragons fault - you didn't  mention what system you are compiling in so no one could help or evaluate the problem.

I'm sorry Qtdragon didn't suit you out of the box, but there is quite alot you could change.
For instance based on your pic, you could turn on the machine and home it, then the colors change from disabled to enabled and look like this:

 

Qtdragon has optional stylesheets to easily change colors, there are several built in.

If fonts are a problem you can change them too.
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtdragon.html#_stylesheets

If you asked nice I bet someone would have even helped you get something that works better for your eyes.

Or don't use it at all. Choice is yours. 
 

Look on the start page, should be a checkbox for 'advanced pages'
check that box on, then extra pages will be shown in sequence.

In my script, with G59.3, after I do those three lines, the only other thing I do is a quick G43 (no H needed) to reload the just-modified table entry.

If this is a 7I96 and not a 7I96S, you would need 7i96_inmd.bit firmware installed.
has this been done?
 

 Thank You for you input, I copied and made a separate tool_change.ngc for testing this tool probe in G59.3 somehow I was able to get that to probe and go back to previous WCS but my measure is still off tool tip about 9.5mm below Z0. My question is do I remove #<tool_length> = [#<spindle_setter_z> - #<setter_touch_machine_z>]p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }hr { height: 1px; border-width: 0; }li.unchecked::marker { content: "\2610"; }li.checked::marker { content: "\2612"; }and update ; Write the measured length to the selected tool-table entry.G10 L1 P#<selected_tool> Z#<tool_length>p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }hr { height: 1px; border-width: 0; }li.unchecked::marker { content: "\2610"; }li.checked::marker { content: "\2612"; }with G10 L1 P[#<_selected_tool>] Z[#5403 + #5063]

just want to be clear
Thankyou

Hello,
I am trying to set up my LinuxCNC control system with a Mesa 7I96 using pncconf. I’ve seen in several threads that there is an "external controls" page in pncconf where you can configure things like handwheels. However, I am unable to access this "external controls" page. What am I doing wrong? Could someone help me find it?
Thanks,
Hans

Hello,
i have install LCNC with a 7I96 for a lathe. There a two mpgs connected the first mpg on pin 0 + 1 and the other mpg on pin 2 + 3 from connector
TB3. Is there a sample for the hal-file to use the mpgs for nturning in manual mode?
Thanks
Hans

Thank you for approving it, tommylight - and for being upfront about it being paid software. That's exactly how I wanted to present it.

If anyone has questions, finds a bug, or thinks a cycle behaves wrong on their machine, please post here - I'll answer and fix what I can.

I have approved this, it is for payed software with a trial version, so if anyone has anything against it, let me know.
Thank you.

That prevents linux itself from modifying the file (even as root) until you -i it.
But as Rod said, once you start manually editing it, you can't use the wizards any more.
