You have 1 encoder on Mesa 7i96S and 6 more on Mesa 7i77, so you can use any of those for THCAD.
The issue of it not working might be changed encoder number in hal in the firmware, so use the "show hal configuration" from the "machine" menu to check what number is assigned to Mesa 7i96S encoder, should be 0 or 6.

That is not an error, it is just a warning about older style cards and you can ignore it.

After you select the Boardname and the appropriate Firmware on the Mesa Card 0 page you need to click "Accept Component Changes" which will load all the details for that particular card.

First up i am apologizing for the silly thing that i have missed or dont yet understand but i hope i have tried.  

I have my Probe basic (now will be previous stable on 2.9.3) setup mostly working for what i wanted with Pendant etc.. but wanted to customize the physical buttons that i have for start / resume, Step / feed hold and well stop works fine.

(Currently 7i76 with physical buttons mapped through to the following
I started with forum.linuxcnc.org/47-hal-examples/13201...ume-buttons?start=40 and thought that i would like to have it when i press the start button and the system is in a feed hold state to resume.  So first part was to change from the single mapping to using an And to only allow start to happen when idle. (I know that is how the above cycle-start works but i was trying to do it to just prove i could get it working)
#Mapped physical button with no issues to one leg of And
net my-start-resume-button-in1 and2.pause-resume-0.in0 <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-07
#Then when trying to map one of the existing pins / signals is where  i get all screwed up.  
net my-start-resume-button-in2 and2.pause-resume-0.in1 <=  halui.program.is-idle

I thought that read as the following Netname = my-start-resume-button-in2, name of signal wire to set and2.pause-resume-0.in1 (the 2nd leg of the And), The trigger signal = halui.program.is-idle 
Instead of that working (Knowing i have no output yet) i get the following error.
custom_postgui.hal:67: Pin 'halui.program.is-idle' was already linked to signal 'prog-running'

So i was well lets change the trigger to be prog.running and see what happens then.
#net my-start-resume-button-in2 and2.pause-resume-0.in1 <=  prog.running
#.../custom_postgui.hal:68: Pin 'prog.running' does not exist (I can see that prog.running is a signal not pin but i am then back to confused about how to do the 2nd part of the and)

Then i was trying to even take the output of the and to trigger 'cycle-start'
net my-start cycle-start <= and2.pause-resume-0.out
#.../custom_postgui.hal:75: Pin 'cycle-start' does not exist

i hope that i am so close but yet so far.  (The reason that i posted this in the Probe basic is my aim is to use qtpvcp.feed-override.reset to remove from feed hold (I hope that is the correct way))
Thank you for reading this far and hoping someone can fix my broken understanding.  Full code block of what i was trying to do below with no extra typing.

Okay, Thankyou. That is actually what I did first but then wasnt sure, so I tried rerunning them seperatated by the | symbols. I'm going to delete the configs and redo.

Hi Tom the picture Matin  shows in the previous message is not for the servo drives. I open his servo drive manual and it indicates that the drives are step direction. Here is snap shot of the drive schematic. My advice is to hold on before he makes purchase of an analog messa card. 





 

You have to run the command in the main terminal line by line. So 4 commands in total.

Just to clarify.

The directions say: Run the following commands in the main terminal one at a time:

sudo apt install curl
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] repository.qtpyvcp.com/apt stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kcjengr.list
curl -sS repository.qtpyvcp.com/repo/kcjengr.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/kcjengr.gpg
gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-key 2DEC041F290DF85A
Im not certain what the individual commands are. It's probably obvious to most... but I'm very very new to LinuxCNC

Hi,

I just re-installed my Debian as I messed something up with my system config. I saved my Linuxcnc config so I just needed to reinstall and put back my config. So far, everything worked except for the Probe Basic GUI that is missing a few buttons.

In the lower left, I noticed a few buttons missing (run from line, Flood mist etc). I first used the APT Stable install and then switched to the develop branch but I have the same issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

The former attempts for spiralpocket, first with polarcoordinates, next archimedean spiral, were running pretty rough and acceleration was not good. So it was difficult to reach a competitive feed.The new version with successive semicircles runs very nice,  G2 or G3 is used. On end of spiral, the final D is reached with a semicircle and then finished with one round. Leadout with a quarter circle, 0.2 off. The depth can be finished with small allowance. Spacing can be set by value or % of tool diameter. Z-level is included also.

I'm completely new and having trouble telling what the individual commands are in the box. I think I've goofed things up, Probe Basic shows up under my configurations- but errors out. I'm feel like I've probably executed step 4 incorrectly. I now have tried a few different times/ways. Am I supposed to separate at the 'pipe' ( | ), line by line, or ? 

Is it relevant to even post the error/debug info until I've completed the instructions satisfactorily?

Thanks
Jim

I've looked at it but unfortunately can't find what's wrong if it boots from nvme with the other kernel.
You could check when it brings you to the initramfs shell if the nvme is recognized and if the UUID is the same as the one in the boot folder of the root of the nvme.

Maybe someone else a suggestion?

Otherwise it might be better for this moment to keep using the 5.10 kernel until the mainline support is good enough. From 6.12 there is no need to patch the kernel anymore by the way, rt became mainline.

hah indeed, stupid typos.

Though, $5022 would solve my problem...
 

my side stupid typos is real normal ..... so I loose a lot of time ....   .... thanks

maybe bad explain .... now there are not problem. Or at least it works .... thanks a gain.

After these try to insert on cmake opcua .... little bit tortuose than  qmake ..... but quite solve .... thinks I done a repo on these. Can help somethings or my mind in future.....

Any how if you would test ... no worry ... for sure you discover somethings of worses .... I have insert "hal_connection();" on minwindows? Not remember ... 

@tommilight .... p.s: solution given for compile over linuxmint22 for sure it work ... but running these post code with inifile debug level 12 i can see strange and ureal warning messages ... plus think calssicladder gui work not so good as can be ... but it works. I know andyPugh work on these in these days .... see on maling list. If woul you try by your side.... we can help

Hi Ben,

The halui sleeps 20ms between polls. This is then too slow for your app?
You could set the timer faster by changing this line and recompile :
line to change

You can compile it as a rt component. What will you do with it then?

Hmm, that is the useless package that is on Bookworm.

I am afraid that I am out of ideas. Maybe post in the installing linuxcnc section.
 



 
First of all, thank you for all the work you do on this forum.
I have not been able to update to the latest version and I have had to install another one, but when I try to do Pnconfig I get this error that I put in the image. 

I have done Mesaflash and I have installed the firmware finished in Dpl.bit but when I do Pnconfig it does not show me the encoders it only tells me that the A is there.
