I have pushed to master, a first try at dialog acknowledgement with HAL pins.
Qtdragon should have qtdragon.dialog-ok dialog-cancel dialog-no
A momentary high will answer the dialog.

If anyone tries it please test carefully and let me know what you think.

I don;t see any glaring problems in the INI.
You could try checking the system monitor to see if a particular program is stealing all the cpu cycles.
You could try a larger servo period to give the GUI more cycle time, but if this is a 'sometimes' problem, I would look at hardware: memory, storage medium, temperature, power supply.

It's also possible to customize (a bit ) what shows on the popup context menu in stylesheets:

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtdragon.html#_stylesheets

line 173 and 185 both define o510

You need to change one to another number.

Do you mean this one ?

it's not so easy to solder

Yes that's the one thank you! Which XO91 did you end up going with? Is that for the SPI CLK? I'm looking into having jlcpcb solder it for me, their cost for the parts is quite low.

Any reason why I am getting a "duplicate oWord on this one?

 

That is a nice price, very nice in fact, considering how everything has gone up.
Thank you very much, but for now i can not buy any ...

I like parallel port, i do not like RPI, so here is my take:
-use HP Z200 or Z210 old workstations, they have a parallel port header, built like a tank and never fail
-Some Dell 980 something or another have built in parallel ports, the "tower" version only
-HP 800 or older 8000 series small form with PCI-E port with add on parallel port cards
-On the big ones you can put 2 or more parallel port cards for more IO
-Mesa 7i92T, connects to PC through EtherNET so easy to find PC's, can do 34 IO pins at very, very high speeds so you can use more microstepping on your drives for much smoother motion and less vibrations
-Mesa 7i96S, has headers for everything, EtherNET, very fast, and can also do a parallel port at very high speeds.

Any progress on this?
You can always use a USB to boot LinuxCNC from it and use it even to control the machine, without installing anything.
Will not work for Probe Basic as that needs to be installed, though.

First thing i would check is if the monitor and PC are properly grounded, touch screens are now usually capacitive so very susceptible to EMI.

Bump to remove it from the "no replies" list.
Thank you.

It does not say what kind/type of surge
1-from the grid due to something disconnecting elsewhere and voltage going above tolerance
2-from lightning strikes and the resulting induced surge on the grid wiring
First is quite easy to protect from although absolutely not 100% safe, using fuses and varistors on the power input, fixed a fair share of those, i would say 95% fix rate so far.
Second is a cr@p shoot as it is unpredictable and varies a lot on how much energy got dumped, had from easy fixable to utterly destroyed.
As a side note, lightning strikes usually cause damage to whatever has long cables, and it is proportional, so longer cables = more chances of something letting out the magic smoke. Cabled camera surveillance systems and ISP routers suffer from this often.

Naming a price usually helps move things along, pictures too.
