Hello everyone,
I installed linuxcnc 2.10 on orange pi5 - with armbian + rt-kernel 6.1.75. The system was made a year ago, and I installed linuxcnc 2.10 now with old versions of dependencies, to keep the 3D acceleration functional.
The problem is that at startup I get the error:
python3: ../src/mesa/state_tracker/st_texture.c:73: st_texture_create: Assertion `height0 > 0' failed.
/usr/bin/linuxcnc: line 1005: 24283 Aborted $EMCDISPLAY -ini "$INIFILE" $EMCDISPLAYARGS "${EXTRA_ARGS[@]}"
Does anyone have an idea if it's a bug in linuxcnc, or the error appears as a result of a conflict?

I don;t see anything you have done wrong.
The status library seems not to be able to poll.
Is linuxcnc running when you ran the glade panel?

This might be useful too:

Thanks for the file!

Hi!
So the cnc is now moving and it was the SPI cable shielding!!! Thank you Scotta and tommylight!!!

But now we have another, issue, we are using 2 stepper motors for the Y-axis each of the stepper motors is connected to one stepper driver and we have the config setup in a way so that joint 1 pulses both, but that doesn't seem to be happening, only on Y motor moves, and the x axis moves as well, the z axis actually just doesn't move at all.
 

Is that the config file you have loaded? There are no TMC5160 driver configuration in your config. For each stepper you need to load a stepgen, as you have done, as well as configure the TMC driver. I'll share a config over the weekend.

Hi Shemj,Thank you so much for your help with getting the EtherCAT drives set up! Following your guide, I’ve successfully managed to connect all three drives, and they’re now running with the Probe Basic interface. The only step left is calibrating them to get the correct mm/rev on each axis.I’d really appreciate some suggestions on how to connect the spindle drive:

• Current setup:
  • The machine’s three axes are using EtherCAT, connected through a daisy chain of Ethernet cables.
  • The spindle came with a 1.2 kW generic Chinese servo motor and drive, which has a 15-pin RS-232 serial connector.
• Questions/options I’m exploring:
  1. Using Beckhoff hardware:
     • I have a Beckhoff EK1100. Could this be used with the appropriate module to control the spindle servo drive?
  2. Using a Mesa board:
     • Would connecting a Mesa board to the Pi via a USB-to-Ethernet adapter work, or would that introduce unnecessary complications?
  3. Alternative hardware setup:
     • Replace the Pi 5 with something like an Odroid H4 (dual Ethernet ports). That way one port could handle the Mesa board and the other the EtherCAT drives.
  4. Replacing the spindle drive:
     • The supplied spindle drive is an XCSD-20A from cncservocontrol.com. Are there any EtherCAT-compatible alternatives that would work with my motor?
• Motor details:
  • Model: 80ST-M04030LBP
  • Power: 1.2 kW
  • Current: 5.2 A
  • Voltage: 220 V
  • Torque: 4.0 N·m
  • Speed: 3000 rpm
  • Encoder: 2500 PPR

If anyone has advice or suggestions on the best approach to integrate the spindle motor/drive, I’d be very grateful! 

   

A ROOT server has nothing to do with routing.
www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

When was the last time you put the address of a Domain Name Server into a web browser ?
DNS works via port 53 not port 80, a web browser defaults to port 80 to connect to a server unless you tell it otherwise.
Would a DNS machine handle a http or https request ?

This is my point. Think about it very carefully. What is running on the machine that the OP gave a FQDN for, a webserver or DNS.
As an experiment, just use the IP the OP gave for your only DNS entry, clear the cache on your machine, so there are no cached entries locally and try and ping an internet address, say google.com, and see what happens.
I'd even bet there is no service running on port 53 at the address he gave.

I think someone may have the concept of DNS and routers mixed up.
I have forum.linuxcnc.org in my /etc/hosts file, so no need to use an external DNS, and I'm still getting timeouts. Hakan has even proven it's the connection to the machine running the forum software that is the issue.
And more over the OP himself won't answer any questions.
And finally, when was the last time a DNS was connected to via a FQDN ?
When you setup a static IP you assign your DNS by IP whether on your local network or on the internet, how does one connect to a DNS via a FQDN ?
Setting up a DHCP server, the DNS entry is an IP address not a FQDN.
Can you see, anyways what is the chance of a hosting service allowing you to run a Domain Name Server, can you imagine the traffic ? Bun
Anyways nowhere did the OP say "hey guys add this DNS entry to your network setup". So how is this a DNS server ?
Just think about it.

Just in case it's not solved yet:
Use capital letters for ini file entrys...

WTF????
This is NOT a security issue, he is not hosting our forum, he has no access to anything except his own account on our servers, he just added another route to access our server to CloudFlare that is used by millions of users to protect from DDOS attacks and supply them with DNS services.
He just allowed us to use his DNS service.
DNS = Domain Name System = the things that converts www.linuxcnc.org that Internet has no idea what to do with, TO 69.163.143.134 that Internet can understand and route through ROOT servers to get to our server.
Think of it as a highway, our normal route is has to much traffic due to our provider having a single toll booth, LangdonS added another route with more toll booths.

Frankly, this is a bit to much for nothing, i am extremely paranoid about privacy and security, if it was something, no matter how small, i would have raised hell here.
Move on, thank LangdonS and move on.
I am using his DNS for two days now, and i am also logged in the normal route, the normal route times out 60% of the time, this works with a bit of lag sometimes, but works consistently.

There are no
N75 M3 $0 S1
in the gcode after the first piece, and no M5 at the end of the cut except for the first cut.
Those must be added by the post processor.

 
 remap=m6 modalgroup=6 prolog=change_prolog....

maybe I solved the problem, I removed one line of code from ini.file, I don't know if it was a good solution but for now everything works

Hello All, I'm using this post processor (PlasmaCv2.1) in Fusion 360. My issue is that my first round hole in the gcode cuts no problem, machine come downs and probes, makes a perfect cut and then the Z axis rises 1-2inches and continues along the path in the gcode but doesn't come back down to start the plasma arc, it just runs the whole program without coming back down to initiate arc and cut the material. I don't get an "arc okay" error which is odd .I went back into Fusion360 and set my retract height and clearance height to 0 to see if that would help and maybe the THC via THCAD through a MESA 7i76 board would work but it just gave me an error. "Safe Traverse Height has been reduced to 0.23in"


Images attached of my cut parameters ,material properties , gcode from Fusion 360 and some misc info. 

The machine cuts simple parts using the conversational in QTplasmaC no problem, and my THC works so I've isolated it to the Fusion 360 Gcode and unsure how to fix my issue. Possible bug maybe?

I feel like I'm doing something really dumb and overlooking something really simple, in an effort to not waste another couple days going in circles, could anyone point me in the right direction, i greatly appreciate it!
 

I'm trying to set the coordinate system based on the user's selection of a combobox from the on_changed handler. From the documentation only found the methods ACTION.SET_MDI_MODE() and ACTION.CALL_MDI() listed but no examples of their use. I've tried the following:

Gcode = 'G55'

ACTION.SET_MDI_MODE()
ACTION.CALL_MDI(Gcode)

Which gladevcp complains about when starting up as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/scsmith1/linuxcnc/configs/mmMill/gvcp_handler3.py", line 53, in on_changed
    ACTION.SET_MDI_MODE()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp/gtk_action.py", line 143, in SET_MDI_MODE
    self.ensure_mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gladevcp/gtk_action.py", line 675, in ensure_mode
    truth, premode = STATUS.check_for_modes(modes)
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hal_glib.py", line 954, in check_for_modes
    self.stat.poll()
SystemError: <method 'poll' of 'linuxcnc.stat' objects> returned NULL without setting an exception

Does anyone have code examples of how to use these two methods in a handler?

I know documenting is not anyone's favorite activity and it take a huge amount of time to write, but it would be really helpful for newbies like myself if the ACTION, STAT and INFO library functions included code snipets to help new users implement the libraries in their projects.

Regards
