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

Hope you like it and have a nice weekend!

Yes, trixie uses python3.13. I guess it would be fine in bookworm with 3.11.
It turned out the tool_db issue was just a setting in xyz.ini. The tool program is in /usr/bin.

I have played around a bit and yes it looks very very nice.
The material handling looks awesome.
So I'll turn it into a real machine, for my plasma cutter.

What a neat little turret! Cool company too, I've got one of their booster pumps.

That turret is too small unfortunately. Will be taking some decent cuts on this lathe so I ordered a tormach turret. Pricey, but those guys are so great with tech support... one call and they were willing to explain all of the electrical details I needed to integrate it.

the 'imp' module has been removed in python 3.12

This line in the ini was the problem "TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 0 0 410". My z limit is 300....

It’s been 9months since I got near this project. But back at it again.
I’ve been working my way through pnc config and inputting all the axis info from the manuals and finally starting to wire up the mesa boards.

Big thanks to the feral engineer on YouTube with his Linux cnc bare bones series as this helped me understand what data needs to go where..

Linear scales are now connected up and reading in the correct directions.

I have finally decided on what way to wire each axis and name each axis. I’m sticking to the original Maho horizontal spindle configuration with the y axis moving the table up and down. This way in the future trouble shooting in the future will be less confusing as everything will match the original manuals.

Once if got as far as I can with pnc configuration I’ll make a second configuration for the vertical spindle which I will use the most.

Hallo tommy ,

vielen Dank, das hat funktioniert....

At least got it up and running. 
1. Had to replace "import imp" in  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtpyvcp/app/application.py 
with "import importlib.util"
and on line 159


This comes from the python3-qtpyvcp apt package.
Is it qtpyvcp to blame or trixie that doesn't provide the imp module?

2. Missing [PLASMAC]SLAT_TOP in ini file. Added
SLAT_TOP=0.0 in PLASMAC section.
I guess it could be given a default value as is done for so many variables when they are missing.

3. Locale problems. <string>:1: SyntaxWarning: invalid decimal literal
Started linuxcnc with


and it gives me a Monokrom screen.
 

Edit.
The LC_ALL=C wasn't needed.
But this one needs attention:
