I like my linuxcnc machine to be ready automatically. The session opens automatically and launches a little script that waits a few seconds, launches my linuxcnc config and offers to shut down the system when I leave the linuxcnc interface.

This script works very well, even on another machine at work. But I'm having a little problem with a custom embedded tab in place of the cooling buttons I use to control my dust collector.

When I run my config by hand, it usually displays correctly, but with autostart, my button is missing. Even without using my little script or extending the delay.

It's a LinuxCNC ISO that's a bit old (maybe two years) but updated, so maybe that's the problem, because at work, on a machine where I've used a more recent ISO, I don't have any problems.

My current LinuxCNC version: 2.9.3
GMOCCAPY: 3.4.8

I've attached my script, my ini file and two screenshots

It's quite strange. But it doesn't matter.
I'm curious to know what could be the problem.
Thanks

P4 was not found on amazon.de so S3 it was.
Had a play with this earlier today, Wez's version fails to set networking for some reason on ESP32wroom module, the other version someone linked here does work but suffers from random reboot loops, a lot.
I am after something else here, use an ESP32 as it has 12 bit ADC to measure the arc voltage and turn the torch on, mounted on the plasma source, and another module connected to PC to translate those voltage values to pulses with variable frequency.
Should be doable and have good enough latency for about 50-150 updates per second. It they survive the EMI

Hello CNC'ersGreat forum all, many many questions already answered !Many thanks..however....Am trying to configure Linxcnc using Touchy UI.I keep hitting the same error, see attached report.If I switch the UI to Axis in the ini file, it starts no problem.I've searched on the forum but there is surprisingly little on Touchy and seemingly nothing for the warning the report gives.I'm using a stock OS Linuxcnc image for the RPI 4B with a Mesa7i96s, nothing convoluted. Debian 12/Linuxcnc2.9.1All advice welcome !!

hi,

if you are building ethercat-master from source... there is possibility to disable eoe on master during ./configure script for example
but I am fighting with them right now to install non generic driver because in responsitories is only generic possible ..

Unfortunately that did not work either.

I tried pulling apart the X and Y movement.
It stops at the X movement.
If I put Y first it completes that command but than stops at X.

i'm not sure how fancy this is going to get i am looking at cheap steppers and drives to do this cheap THC might be basic too i have to look into that part more while i am collecting parts. the whole THC is new to me so i have some learning to do for sure on that part. i made a breakaway torch holder a while back and it fits this torch so that's about as far as i am right now.

Tommy. You honestly need to lookup RMT based controls if that 32bits is your hardware (suggest the P4 if they are available to you). If you're after half-decent motion control performance and reliability, that's the only way to do it really (imho). Yeah man, from scratch!!

That, and grab a good doze of knowledge of mutual exclusion runtime(mutex, semaphores, give, take, locks, ect), and the end result should match up to as close as it gets to a parallel compute (aka fpga).
