Hi all,

I decided to build my ideal plasma cutter CAM program over the summer after being dissatisfied with our options for generating QtPlasmaC gcode. 
I've got it to the point where it is useful, so I'm opening it up for previews. 

Please have a look at metalheadcam.alan-gibson.workers.dev. Give it a try and post bug reports and feature requests in this thread.

The basic workflow is:
- Click the hamburger menu and then Tools so you can add your tool parameters
- Import a DXF file on the Import stage
- Skip the Edit stage for now as it doesn't do much yet
- Click the Apply All button on the Prepare stage
- Add operations to parts and shape chains on the Program stage
- Simulate the program on the Simulate stage or just skip it
- Download gcode on the Export stage

Thanks and I look forward to your feedback.
 

LinuxCNC 2.10 can do tandem axis, i do not know if 2.9.4 can.
You need this for the axis with 2 motors, and this way you can change direction of those motors separately, and this does require home switches for each joint that you already have, so all good.

Thanks MaHa,

The bracket syntax worked great, however, I'm still not able to access the INI vars after adding the INI_VARS = 1 to the ini file. Is there another setting that I'm missing?

Here i am again.. this shows us the original circuit of the original controller . the proximity sensor switching gnd. Its a npn normaly open proximity sensor without shielded cables.
Sensor is powered with 24v.

my now setup is:

the output cable from the sensor goes direct to my mesa 7i92t. i see the gpio toggles if i bring the sensor to some metal. it works. the mesa 7i92t is jumpered to pullup.


if i use this circuit i must set the jumper to pulldown. correct?
 

thanks for your help

incase others find this..
there was an error in my probe_panel.xml file as i added an aditional tab. once removed. the error was gone

Hi all. I am installing Easyprobe today on my CNCLinux instalation. 

can someone help explain what this error is telling me and how i can fix it? 

 

I'm controlling them with external offsets. Would that be the reason?
