yes there is not currently a preconfigured display option setup for xyzb.


however, you could run:

sudo editvcp probe_basic in terminal and make any edits on the apt installed version. if you are on the stable branch the changes will remain, if you are on the develop branch any changes will be overwritten when updates are pushed and you you subsequently run apt update.

if you would like to change the opening screen to the main tab, you can change it by doing the following:

open a terminal and enter the following:

enter your password and enter

Qtdesigner will open, if you wish to delete the status message label, simply click inside the white area anywhere and press the delete key.  This will delete the message label and its contents.

 


Alternatively if you would like to keep the message there but change the tab that is seen when starting probe basic, click the main tab button to change the display page, and save.  Close Qtdesigner and start probe basic as you normally would, this will now startup the program on the main tab and if opted to delete the status page message label widget it will also be gone.  this will reappear if you are on the develop version after any updates have been pushed but should remain edited if on the stable version as no new changes are pushed to the stable version branch.

Hope this helps!

Hi
The thing I want is being able to do some calibration on axes using hm2_7i90.0.stepgen.00.position-scale parameter dynamically.
How can I access to this parameter?
I tried to define a new halpin in my hal file by writing:
net stepScale_Axis_X hm2_7i90.0.stepgen.00.position-scale
But I get the following error:
./my_LinuxCNC_machine.hal:616: Pin 'hm2_7i90.0.stepgen.00.position-scale' does not exist

so if its pin is not available what can I do to access this parameter for example in my python code for qt designer.

Stepper system

3000 rpm is not all that high for Al, but still better than no torque .
( don*t ask! ; 1000 W, no gearbox and max. 6000 rpm )
Makes an 8mm cutter a good choice for my old benchtop machine.

The 16 mm endmill would be "happy" at approx. 3000 rpm , but some machines are not happy with a 16 mm endmill.

Is this a servo system or stepper system?
