What was the doc pertaining to? Maybe the information can be found elsewhere?

Linuxcnc allows you to create a Python filter that processes the Gcode when the file is opened, Not sure how qtplasmac does it.

Yes, sorry its gone. I'm working on a similar document for Trixie. Its still a draft but its here
erpx.au/shop/trixie-linuxcnc-debian-trix...tion-pdf-download-48
There is a small charge for it AUD $2 to cover costs. That really only covers the payment processing costs. I will send final versions once its complete to anybody that buys it while its in draft.
Its hot off the presses as I just wrote it today. Any feedback will be appreciated.

i have an Old Abb irb2000 thats just sitting there, that i want to revieve.
it seems that this could be a way forward.
What kind of setup are you using for the rest of the control chain ?

estop-latch is the right way to go  with these but a better way is to use joint.N.amp-fault-in IN BIT   Should be driven TRUE if an external fault is detected with the amplifier for this joint.
ref: linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/motion.9.html
This will halt motion.
Your drives may also have a estop input which disables the drive on an estop.

Perhaps the information in this post would be helpful for you.

There's a couple of ways, you could use the Mesa Configuration Tool or you can add the estop_latch component yourself.

I'm not with the machine right now, so cannot run any tests (perhaps later today) but looking at the various hal state dumps I posted previously, spindle-at-speed seems to be showing false all the time, whether the next move works or not.
It does look like I need to check spindle-at-speed, but it doesn't seem like it is the deciding variable (at least not on its own)

Hello,

I am running a thre axis CNC mill with stepper motors with mesa 7i76eu. I wanted to connect stepper driver alarm outputs to mesa and have them triger emergency stop. I am also planning on adding two additional Estop buttons. I wired them up but then noticed that linuxCNC setup wizard only lets me select one output as emergency stop. Is there a way I can select multiple inputs as emergency stop, or do I have to wire the buttons in parallel and connect them to one input.

I've just purchased a 2008 Weeke Vantage 33 cnc router from scrap. The machine is in good condition and I'm going to convert the controller to lcnc.
The servos are Rexroth Indradrive and as best as I can tell they're using sercos iii. My drives have a fiber ring connection rather than Ethernet but the logo definitely says sercos iii. Apparently there were some iii drives made with fiber connections. 
The io is all Beckhoff and the pci card in the pc is beckhoff also. 
Is there any workable, straight forward way of controlling these drives using lcnc and, perhaps, the beckhoff pci card? 
If so then great, much better to use the hardware as is. 
If not then I'll go down the path of selling the rexroth drives and motors and buying Delta or something along those lines. 
Any info of advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If I do the move without turning the spindle off it will wait for the spindle to reach speed and then proceed.
Do you think the issue might be with spindle_at_speed after the M5?

i really don't have any questions at the moment, from what i have seen with the Vismach models it usually gets tethered to axis and has it's own space to run alongside Linuxcnc what i am trying to do is roll everything into one screen if that makes any sense? i have not seen anything like it so basically all been uncharted territory for me. i would say it would end up being something like what you might find in the machine builder of fusion 360 if it would actually come together 100% when i get done.

No, I don't have any kind of output connected to the MESA

Not exactly sure what your question is but vismach model simulation uses values from hal pins (usually joint positions) and is thus independent of what gui is used.
Are you trying to embed the vismach window in the probe basic gui?

Hello everybody 

I wonder if the very often linked Google document from Rod is still available?
docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...diY/edit?usp=sharing
Google says the file was deleted?
