could you run
latency-histogram
instead of latency-test?
I think you might be onto something, I use a custom version with probe tripped during non-probe move disabled, and I never see queue error...

Qtdragon and probebasic assume you have repeatable tooling. If you don't, I would recommend investing in Tormach TTS collets, their marble plate and a  manual tool height measurer. Measure your 3D probe and your tools and record the settings in the tool table. Probe the material height with the 3D probe and the tool changing routine will do what you want to do. (ask you to insert a premeasured tool) This is far the best way. Works perfectly with QT dragon

Becasue you are using an old and unsupported version of Debian.

@unknown, Sid or more correctly unstable branch of Debian has the latest version of 2.9 (eg 2.9.7) while the release version is a couple of versions behind due to Debian's lockdown policy.  Using APT pinning allows you to get linuxcnc (and possibly simplescreenrecorder) from Sid/unstable as I outline in this video


IN fact a variant of this could be used by the OP to get simplescreenrecorder from unstable (or Trixie)

I am looking for a freelancer to remote into my system and help me get tool sensor working in either probe basic or dragon QT.

The mill works right now with Dragon QT, able to home, jog, run g-code, even 3d probe. I am giving up though on trying to get this tool sensor to work, spent way to much time trying to get the right ini setting or something. Unable to find any manauls, guides, or anything to set this up in software. The tool sensor is a that standard orange button one from amazon. Its wired in, it works, the software just doesnt want to work.

What happens is when I attempt to use the dragon qt tool sensor it goes to the postion, probes, then sets the tool offset to 9999999. The other "buttons" for setting the tool length just dont work at all, does not press or allow me to press.

The objective is when a tool changed (manually for now) it will move to the tool sensor location, probe, set the tool length, then back to work.

Name your price, I just want it to work. 


 

Just wondering if there are any other alternatives for swapping the pendant units when a G20/G21 command is given? I frequently run jobs in metric/imperial units and keeping separate machine definitions seems like an inelegant solution. As described by the OP, the display units are correctly updated but not the pendant.

The buttons on the probing page for setting the tool height, I am unable to click on those. Ever other button works. Bottom two buttons

Change the couplers between the lead screw and stepper motor. They can wind under load and tear themselves apart.

Looks good so far.

What exact version of Debian are you using ?
When you do an apt update it will list the repos and the version, wheezy or bullseye or whatever.
If it's bullseye or up it's available in the repos, if not you may have to install from source, which brings along a whole manner of other issues. And to make whatters worse there does appear to be some issues with wheezy.
From my understanding Sid is the "unstable"branch, so I doubt that anything from Sid would help.

Choose a mirror near you, download, double click.
packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/simplescreenrecorder/download

If it complains:
sudo apt install gdebi
-
P.S.
did you do a
sudo apt update
before trying to install? Sorry for asking, but way to often this gets left out.

Greetings!
First of all, thank you for your advice!!!
It took me a while to realise as a newbie! ))))
Secondly, I want to ask what are the correct steps to take to get help? Do I have to create a separate forum thread or can I ask a question in another one? I'm a complete beginner and don't understand many terms and algorithms, but I'm much better than a month ago!!!))).
I recently bought a ready-made control panel with two Chinese interface boards.
I have a task to connect and configure a 4 axis milling machine.
I have some equipment (a lot of equipment was purchased incorrectly and I can no longer afford unreasonable expenses)
I need help with step-by-step instructions:
1- listing and checking for the relevance of the equipment in relation to my goals
2- firmware for the board in relation to the goals and equipment.
3- help with explaining the connection (I mean connecting the picture of the contacts I made with a marker)
4- setting the machine parameters

It is very difficult for me to connect! It's hard for the first time!
Thank you very much for your support!!!

Thanks Rod, I have an Atem mini Pro Iso, which I use for my live streams, but having it set up for a simple task like screen recording is overkill. For the times I need the screen recorded on the Schaublin I 
just use simplescreenrecorder and drop the files onto a thumb drive. 

Why it is so hard to install a simple program on Linux, which I have installed easily on two other flavours of linux.?

A bit left field but if this is for your YouTube channel, I use a video switcher and send the Linuxcnc monitor to one input on the switcher ( I had to buy a VGA to HDMI adapter for one machine). The video and audio (from a seperate microphone) gets recorded to SD card on the switcher and I can do picture in picture etc when recording.
I use a MovMagic switcher but a similar one is a Black magic ATEM mni

Hi all, 

I am Juxus from Germany and building my first LinuxCNC project: a camshaft grinder. The mechanics are almost done - now it is time to setup the Mesa 7i96s and LinuxCNC. Laptop (Lenovo T450s) is setup and exclusively for operating the machine. 



The idea is to run the A axis with an encoder for turning the camshaft and Y axis for positioning the cam against the grinding wheel. X Axis is to positioning the second cam after the first one is done. 

I am a total beginner with LinuxCNC and I am thankful for all hints! 

Thanks!
Juxus

Looks it will fit. Thank you so much!

Hi,

maybe a silly idea. but you could install Teamviewer and record the screen on your Cutter-PC.

i use Teamviewer all the time on my machines and i cant note any lag.


Greetings
Tom
