Mesact 2 Setup

Category: Configuration Tools

I'm using Debian 12 Bookworm and python3-distro is version 1.8.1-1

Are you using Gdebi to install Mesa CT?

In the Synaptic Package Manager I searched for python3-distro and it shows up.

Please refer to page 1 of this thread.
The python3-distro is not included in the python installation.

Now I understand... let me look into this.

Set rant box on.
I sure wish Debian would not use silly names for OS versions it's just too hard to remember which one is which... 10, 11, 12, 13 I understand and can remember and know that 13 comes after 12.
Set rant box off.

One more question......

On the stacked widget, designer seems to save the "current index" as the default, so if you happen to be editing a page and save it, running it from LinuxCNC will always start on that page. Is there any way to create a "default index"?

I have like 3 stacked widgets on top of each other so I have to make sure I set them all to the desired first page before I save it

Yup I just make sure that all tab widgets are set to the default page. You could add some Python code to set them.

gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/python.html

The syntax would be something like this:

parent.stacked_widget_name.setCurrentIndex(0)

And I'm looking at the moment at their Mitsubishi implementation, since I need multiturn for the robot. But there is no documentation of the protocol.

If you send me some details about the protocol and electrical parameters, I can look into it. But please open a separate topic or open a github issue, because I want to try to keep this topic as a instruction how to configure the drives.

Yeah I can add it as a github issue or something, I'd just have to send you the protocol docs directly. I'm not sure what their stance on publicly sharing the document is since I haven't seen them do that, I received it as a customer with an inquiry.

Unlogic post=318332 userid=35541I added the missing entries to the var file and it solved the issue.

Given that Probe Basic is under active development with frequent configuration changes this got me thinking.

Would it be possible to create a pyhon script that is executed early in startup process and checks if all required Probe Basic specific configuration options are present?

That would alert users to missing configuration options after upgrades and when making new installations.

hmmm, maybe, but I'm not sure how that would look exactly, do you have an idea on how to make it work?

Yeah that looks much nicer than the tabwidget when it's run....

The frames on the list and plain text editor aren't visible in the dark-touch theme. For now I'm just sticking them on frame widgets because they blend in with the background otherwise.

I'll look into the dark-touch theme to see what I need to fix that.

When AC is rectified to DC, the no-load DC voltage is equal to the AC input voltage times the square root of 2.

120V AC RMS rectifies to about 170VDC.

Even though many stepper drives can accept AC power, they likely rectify it into DC power internally; if the rectifier in the driver is poor, performance will be sub-optimal.

If you build your own high-quality rectifier, you can be certain that it will function well.

What Operating System are you using? All modern Debian based OS's have python3.

Is there a reason why to not install SSH Server?
I usually install it and actually use it for any config or GCode edits using Visual Studio Code editors ssh function.

never tried it, if you use it an have no issues i guess its fine. the instructions are for a basic install, if users want to experient that is fine, we just don't support that type of experimentation, gets kind of cumbersome trying to anticipate and test every option so we leave that in the hands of the end user.

myself, I use syncthing for folder sharing and it works great, i have all of my pc's connected, windows and linux boxes and each has a folder for my posts which is where fusion360 sends the post outputs. they magically appear in the machines' post folder so no usb to worry with.
