I haven't tried any other program. This was my first test and I made it as basic as possible.
Could there be something in the .hal or .ini that makes it expect relative positions?
What information do you need?

It looks like you have the host IP address set to 192.168.1.121.
This will not work, you need to set the host address to something
different but in  the same network range, say 192.168.1.100

(in other words, you were not pinging the Mesa card but rather the host itself)
 

Well you are using different Mesa cards than I was, and I was using a much older version of Linuxcnc. You won't be able to copy what I had verbatim.

I looks like you are using a 7i95, so for the X axis limits and home, with the home/limit combined at the min limit, you might use something like this.

In your posted hal file it has the vaariable call from your ini file "[MESA](BOARD)". This tells the hal file to use what you have set in the ini file in the "[MESA}" section, what is set on the line "BOARD =", which in your case is "7i95".

Hi PCW,

Here are the results of the test you suggested. It is on a completely fresh install of LinuxCNC and I only changed the network settings using the standard ISO image. What do you think?

 

yeah touch screen would work. But what happens when some drops of coolant hit it and it freaks out. my phone is bad enough with a tiny drip of water. I wonder if itd be worth making a custom keyboard and special mapping some keys. QTdragon looks nice. I may give it a try. 

Thanks PCW,

I'll give that a try.

Works like a charm.

Beware of saying "mouse" here.

People will joke about the animal until the cows come home.

Computer mice are poorly suited to a shop environment, 100%.

I accidentally dropped mine on the ground several times, and now it's all busted.

Perhaps a touch screen is the answer for you.

Maybe something like QtDragon?
QtPyVCP?

Perhaps just some sort of Windows-related issue?

An incompatibility of some sort?

You may be interested in LCSC electronics/JLCPCB.

They offer tons of components, custom cables, PCB fabrication, and PCB assembly.

You could produce these on a largish scale.

Hello,

I once exchanged tab for spaces, but that makes no difference. I suspect that the reader routine does not recognize the comment as such.
Incidentally, my INI file is not as chaotic as there, I just copied it in and this strange arrangement came out.
In practice, everything is nicely arranged in the INI.

Many greetings Frank

Unfortunately I do not have any coding experience...

like i mentioned in previous post a "C" at the end "LS 403 C", indicates you have a distance coded version of the scale. Do you also have an interpolator like the exe 602?

I doubt i'll manage to HAL such a custom component myself, but I have my mill moving and would of course be willing to do some testing if someone has some time over to give it a try!

I think this is a raspberry PI issue as there is no fast sample rate option in the halscope.
Hopefully won't affect what I am doing, other than spoil my pictures.

A break-out box.
A car relay.
Break the arc start ground cable when sensing.
And ohmic sensing works with the IPTM-60.
No modifications to the plasma cutter.
Standard arc voltage reader used, I use my own THTIC2.
