Well after playing with a 10" display, it's okayish but not usable from a touchscreen perspective. I also played with touchy a bit, but prefer the axis GUI.

So moved things around a bit to make some space and will use a larger probably 14-16" touchscreen. I ordered a 14" Amazon BlackFriday special to try out and size is about right, unfortunately this particular display requires a full featured USB-C port to get the "touches" back and does not seem to be able to get them back with a regular type A USB interface. So the search continues.....

I do have another display related question...
Somehow I setup the axis interface on my Milling machine so that the axis GUI can occupy/share the title bar space at the top. I don't know how to do this on the new "lathe" axis GUI.  This matters because when I set the resolution to 1024x768 the bottom sliver of the axis GUI (where the status and error messages get displayed) is off screen at the bottom.

So how do I get axis to share that top title bar space?

Can we all take a moment and appreciate how adorable that photo is of Tommylight's dog biting his boot?

Thanks guys!

I learned something and it works.

Hi
I want somebody help
I think now my CNC problem seem this topic.
My CNC XYZ  and Y correct  linear move 
my X axis table on Y-axis base it's Skewed angle .

Asis,

Good rule.

So that is basically a table first, no big graphical overview?

Control panels often look very daunting.

If you need to wind a large number of identical coils, it is more profitable to make a winding device.
To do this, you need 1 asynchronous motor, 1 VFD and a tension sensor.
If you need it, I can help you with information.
There are more than 100 we in the company.
A polypropylene tape is wound.
You can do it yourself, it's simple.
If you have a CNC machine, you can use it.
This is translated by Google, if something is wrong, I apologize.

150*3.1415=471.225mm of surface times material thickness times 7850kg/m3
That gives you the weight, and at 6 meter length, even 1mm thick walls would be 22KG!
At 4mm, that is 88Kg, that have to be turned plus the friction and the chuck weight.
You can make it work with 1:4 reduction, but it would have to be at miserably low acceleration.
Do you have a 3D printer? Print some pulleys, find a HTD5 belt, at least 15mm wide, use a lot of walls to enforce the mount holes on pulleys.

No idea if there is a driver for I2C in LinuxCNC, maybe searching on github project page would show if there is anything about it there.

Nope, i do not use it.
Every now and then i use FreeCAD, i will have to learn the PATH workbench, whenever i get a chance.

Hello everyone.
Since there doesn't seem to be a clear solution, I have a question for those involved in the development of LinuxCNC.

Are the 2.8.3 pid and 2.9.3 pid modules the same?

Are they different?

Can I overwrite the 2.8.3 pid module in 2.9.3 and use it?

Would it be better to update the whole thing to 2.8.x?

Thank you in advance.

This does connect but enters reboot loop when running LinuxCNC.

Any news about mesa hardware and raster engraving?

What do you mean by this?
Mesa works for everything with LinuxCNC, so it also works for raster engraving.
As for rastering, more info her and new configs that will stop laser/PWM on ESC or stop execution or running gcode:
forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/46752...ver-etcher-scratcher
And here are the STL files just in case you want to build such a machine
www.printables.com/model/876702-diy-cnc-...-writing-logos-etc-o

On Mint 22 you will have to compile LinuxCNC from sources, otherwise it does not work.
Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 works, install reboot, then in a terminal
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
