I see. Thanks for clarifying why the manual states that there are advantages to using a bitfile that is not distributed compiled in the archive of supported software that is linked to next to it on this page: store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...ct_id=58&search=6i25

You should use a clean PC to change all the passwords, right now.
The browsers are most probably hijacked on both of those that require login, so someone somewhere has all your login data.
As a general rule, do not click on any link that you see, that is really, really bad, and the main reason i keep repeating on this forum to upload stuff on our server, not on 3rd party web sites due to scripts those sites use to track and spy on every damn thing on your PC.

would you be able to point to where the issue is in the .xml file ?

  Currently my  home Linux desktop can play YouTube videos without the whole log into prove you are not a bot thing
and that could mean that the internet at work triggers something on YouTube that makes it
think that my computers at work are  bots of some kind. (strange that it didn't yesterday) 
So yes, I concede it may be just a technical issue, 

And btw there may be an error in your ethercat-conf.xml file. Two slave lines for idx=3.
 

how to call:
o<subroutineX1> call [4.1] [3] [12]

returnvalue:
o<subroutineX1> endsub [#<FW>]
M2


returned value #<FW> as  #<_value>
(debug,#<_value>)

if   #<_value>  is needed for further processing, its required to save to a parameter, next subroutine return will overwrite  #<_value> with new returnvalue

 

Apparently the net naming was conflicting with the ethercat naming. renamed and now its fine. had to mess with the spindle scaling but now its perfect.

So ultimately in my custom.hal the pins were simply not connecting the to the spindle.0 commands, and the names had to be changed so they didnt conflict with ethercat.

So chatgpt DID get it right, it just didnt not know (how) to resolve the conflict and went on a bizarre hallucination.

Thanks guys, I think at the end of it I actually understand this all now, and am not just slapping random code in going "why's it borked?"

PCW is from Mesa, most if not all the vhd code bears his name.

The thing is is not just Linuxcnc that his products are used for.

Phuu, I have no idea why it didn't work right away. I am happy that some patience paid off.

You have some settings in the example hal filequickstop isn't used (yet), but the other values you need to adapt to your liking.
velo-scale is how many steps there are per revolution. It is probably the encoder resolution for you.
Gearing goes into that number as well.
That number also affects the velocity feedback.
Accelerations are revs/s^2. Easiest is maybe to use halshow and set different values while testing start and stop.

  But to put it simply rodw you don't have to log into forums to READ the information. At least not yet.
I wont be surprised if that changes soon as well. You know for the kids. Wont somebody please think
of the Children. So why Should I have to log in to VIEW a video, that's my point.
I am tired of the increasing collection of data on everyone not just me.
I may not be able to stop the big machine, But I don't have to help it along either.


I cant find any reference to having to log on to view videos other than random people saying they have technical issues going back YEARS. Can you direct me to the youtube policy for this? I know this is is a new policy in the usa (maybe only in some states, not federal, and nothing to do with youtube of course) but i cant see where its stated by youtube as a rule. Got links?

I am currently watching videos while not logged in...
 

I tried pulling up multiple video's today on my Linux and windows 10 laptops and every single time no matter the video
it requested that I log in to view the videos. Video's that played just fine yesterday (tutorials on Tkinter) now request
that I log in. whether it's official policy is immaterial. It's the fact that it's happening.

ihavenofish If you're able to watch YouTube without logging in then perhaps there is some technical aspect in the mix
that I don't know about, region, country, municipality, internet provider. ect. any of the above could be it. 
 I will try my machines when I get home and see if there is a difference.

 

Clues.... so i have now connected (i expect) the spindle correctly, it was actually connected before, however that is done, my ethercat drives wig out and repeatedly cycle on and off.

Hmmmm. So there is a conflict with the spindle.0 pins.

LinuxCNC 2.9.7 released 26 October 2025. LinuxCNC 2.9.7 has been released.
This is another bug-fix release to fix an unexpected interaction in a previous bugfix. (In this case the driver for the popular XHC pendants was incompatible with changes made to HALUI pin creation)
In addition changes to the CI (continuous integration) in Github mean that the install debs will be available from the LinuxCNC Github repository under the "releases tab"

This update is for all users, but especially users of the XHC pendants and Gmoccapy.

Packages for 2.9-uspace for amd64 (PC) and arm64 (Pi) for Debian Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm, Trixie and Sid have been added to the linuxcnc repository.
If you installed from one of our live images or Pi SD-card images then the update should be available immediately. The install script here: linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/getting-st...th_preempt_rt_kernel has been
augmented with a version for Trixie updated to include a new, longer key required by Debian versions from Trixie onwards.
(A combined script is undergoing testing, www.linuxcnc.org/linuxcnc-install-test.sh if you have a working Debian (Buster through to Trixie) install and want to install LinuxCNC on it)
At the moment the live-image installer and SD card images will install 2.9.4 but update should be trivial (and possibly automatic). Updated images are in-progress. RTAI is still supported, but in the short term building from source is likely to be the most expedient way to get 2.9.7 on that platform. Changelog

• [ci] publish releases with artifacts - GitHub now builds release deb
• Revert 7d9ee66 to address #3583 - halui functions stop working in 2.9.5/6
• Merge pull request #3512 from Sigma1912/patch-1
• Gmoccapy: Fix arrow key up/down bug in tooleditor

Hellow Aciera,

That was the document that I was following when attempting to use the return values. I have attempted to use:

o200 call .....
#<LF> = #<_value>

but, that generates an error when the code is loaded into LCNC.

Still stuck on the assignment of the return value to a local named variable.

Kind Regards

I don't think you have set the spindle at speed pin anywhere......

I don't think it matters. They already know everything about you. My phone tells me the name of a song playing near me even TV jingles.How do I know its not listening to what I say? I think it does cos sometime ads appear...
