Upgraded to deb12 and machine set up great. However when I load a work file I get a weird pattern.  The file is one that I've used many times.

Video on youtube?

No, unfortunately, I don't know anything about that. I bought a non-working machine with these rulers installed on it. In order not to buy others and save money, I thought that maybe I could use them.

That's what GPT chat told me.)))))))

Haven't been on the forum for a while ... I use FreeCAD quite frequent and I am active in the FC forum. It has done major leaps forward with the 1.0 release. TNP is not fully solved, but much better. Yes, FreeCAD requires patience to learn, has a steep learning curve and you need to be aware of its traps. But it has become a very powerful CAD/CAM/FEM/... package. Du to its Python capability and functional openness, you can do wild things using Python and if needed, program it to your needs (incl. the CAM side). I am coming from the Sketchup and Fusion side, and switched to FreeCAD. I still use Sketchup to design and build furniture (also tables, benches etc. for my job shop, also did my exterior and interior house design with it), but for all the mechanical stuff I switched to FreeCAD (incl. CAM). For electronic stuff I use KiCAD, but compared to FreeCAD quite seldom.

You would need to know the signals levels.
Do you have a full data sheet?

It might work with the common Heidenhain "EXE" boxes 
which are sine/cosine interpolators with digital quadrature outputs

I've already installed the QTVCP panel and it works fine, but could you also share the Vismach file so I can see the simulation? 

Is it impossible to convert the signal? If it is possible, how?

OK so the output seems to be working correctly, maybe this is a setup issue, perhaps the arc-ok filtering is insufficient
or there is some other issue with the ARC OK signal causing LinuxCNC to drop torch on.

The voltage between out4+ and out4- is going down to 0.06v for my torch on when triggered. my Arc ok goes to 0v and input 07. when torch is close to plate the 07 led is bright like the others but still only flashes for a second. And then i get valid arc lost, some seconds later.

Updated the touch-probe3 GUI to a touch screen version in the flexgui examples.

 

Usually a good idea to indicate which sim you are using so people can try to reproduce the issue. I have tried on an Axis sim and could not reproduce this.

As always: Top!
While I started to use touch screens a couple of years ago, I reverted back to non touchscreen setups. I do mostly foam and wood stuff. Although I have a pretty efficient dust extraction system, there is sill a lot of dust landing on the touchs. Wipe them them off while chipmaking, and I guess you see the troubles. I use industrial grade Keyboards now
I have a yoga 370, some yoga 260, the mentioned T440p (should be as good as the X240). I'll test them and post results, placing the link to my findings in a later edit here for reference.

After the macro runs, I believe the machine is in MDI mode.
I bet HALUI needs the machine in manual to allow jogging.

I have a problem with homing in the lcnc sim.

You say that and go on to show actual hardware pins, so are you using a simulation or real hardware?

Hi everyone! 
This machine was an old emco, retroffite with new electronics, designed and built a subspindle where tailstock was and designed a cnc bar loader for 6meters longs bar.
As you can see in the videos, the spindle and subspindle rotates simultanseously for cutting the part off
