You could always choose not to run them.
Or you could run them when not machining a part.

 

Yes of course, but I prefer a clean install with minimum "garbage" and let a machine controller just be a machine controller. I would not run any other programs on my LinuxCNC production machines, for the same reasons as why I prefer not to have my machine connected to the internet: keep the machine clean and stable. 

im sorry if this is a dumb question how do i implement this
i have downloaded the qtdragon_hd_vertical.ui.
how do i load i up.

I’m using the QTDragon_HD UI and Probe Basic with a 3D probe.  Hopefully this may lead you to the Ah ha moment.  All values are in inches.These are the settings I have in my .ini, .hal, and qtdragon_hd.pref files..ini file

Have you checked squareness of the part, using a micrometer measure the height in the 4 corners. It dosent look like a machine problem more like a clamping/squareness or misalignment issue. Unless you are loosing steps....

I am machining some clamps from a perfectly squared stock.I do an adaptive 2D contouring. I machine the top part and then I turn it over to machine the part that was previously held by the clamp. The measurement comes out perfect after machining but it has a kind of offset. In theory, since the stock is a symmetrical rectangle, when turning it over it should cut in the same place, right? Can someone tell me what could be the cause?

while loading horizontal qtdragon_hd it says version 2.9.2 and attached is the error when i change the .ui file with vertical

Thanks. I'm calling this subroutine as a macro from Touchy . M2 must be inside the subroutine. There is no other GCode executed in Touchy.

I solved the variable problem in the meantime by copying the subroutine arguments to global variables. I consider this ugly as s**t but it gets the job done.
I then ran into the issue that Touchy has limited space for Macro arguments on the UI and no option to scroll through the argument list. This effectively limits the UI to enter 4 (maybe 5) points. This significantly limits the usefulness. Probably not an issue on a bigger screen but is a problem on the 1024x600 pixels display that I use.

Full program is copied below should this be of use to anybody.

 

I have a minor problem with the probe screen 2.9, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have got the probe screen working fine, however I have this strange bug, that the Latching functionality is not working. What I mean by that is the measurement only happens in the search mode, and the following probing at lower speed is not happening. The measurement is taken during the first approach at Search speed. The same happens with the tool offset measurement.

While I was trying to debug this, I noticed that when I increase the Latch distance to, let's say, 10mm (5mm further than the XY Clearance), the probe will move to that location after the detection at Search speed, but then it will go back to the XY Clearance position at Search speed and then complete the measurement without doing the probing at Probing speed. 

I am hoping it is some silly setting I forgot to enable somewhere deep in the config file. 

Please help

What is the result of:

chrt 99 ping -i .001 -c 60000 -q 10.10.10.10

(will take ~ 1 minute and print statistics, replace 10.10.10.10 by 7I96S card IP address if it differs)

Hello,
Does anybody know how data is formatted for NVMPG to display XYZ data, etc.?
I wanted to use this mpg in another project, but I cannot make it work from source files for stm32 and linuxCNC.
If anybody has a spreadsheet of these signals or a logic analyzer to see what is going to the mpg, I would be grateful, and I could make a tutorial about using it for other stuff as a cheaper alternative to other mpg.
All I know for sure at the moment is the baudrate and button codes, but it was an easy part of it...
Thank you in advance 

Here you go

Yes, 20 to 70 KHz should be fine as it will work with general encoder/counter inputs
and always high enough frequency so the control bandwidth is not affected.
 

Yeh, we don't care about the voltage until we get an Arc OK from the machine which is the pink line (comes on after the voltage peaks are gone.)
This plot is a bit atypical but its all I have saved. Usually we do not see the bump at the beginning. Perhaps that is during piercing... I think it was 8mm mild steel.

Guten Abend zusammen, 

​​​aktuell hänge ich an folgendem Problem.
​​​​​​Mein PC M91p SFF hat an sich eine geringe Latenz jedoch kommt beim fräsen immer wieder die Watchdog Meldung und die Maschine fährt nicht weiter. 
​​​​​​
Mittlerweile bin ich relativ sicher die Ursache liegt in der Ethernet Verbindung 
Terminal
cnc@cnc:~$ halcmd show param *.tmax 
184004924 hm2_7i96s.0.read.tmax125691892 hm2_7i96s.0.write.tmax
Alle anderen Werte sind sehr deutlich kleiner. 

Bisher habe ich folgendes gemacht
Installation Linux CNC 2.94 über das fertige Image
Bios update auf die aktuelle Version und die gängigen Einstellungen 
Grub Parameter zur Verbesserung der Latenz  
(Nach dem YouTube Video von TooTall18T)
Grub Config:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 skew_tick=1 rcu_nocb_poll rcu_nocbs=1-95 nohz=on nohz_full=1-95 kthread_cpus=0,1 irqaffinity=0,1 isolcpus=2,3 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup tsc=nowatchdog"

Kann eine PCI Netzwerkkarte das Problem beheben? 
Bei der Grafikkarte hatte ich unerwartet Probleme scheinbar hat Lenovo eine BIOS Whitelist welche Grafikkarten akzeptiert werden. Ich bin nicht sicher ob dies für die Netzwerkkarten auch relevant ist?

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe 

Grüße Erwin
