Thanks Chris,

Yes, that is what I meant. I am using 2.9.4 and the HD version of QTDragon.

No hurry at all. I've got my m6remap working really well. It allows using a mix of fixed and variable length tools where the variable length ones get automatically measured during the manual tool change. I'm just adding the finishing touches. I use this in conjunction with Basic Probe.

Thanks again.

I took a look and was able to add shift modifer which will make shift key use the max velocity ini setting as the override speed. I tested here and it works in all levels of safety, I need a few independent tests done before i push to the develop branch.

Hello
I have gmoccapy installed the problem is that the feed bar in manual mode has inflated values compared to those defined in the ini file. I don't know if this is supposed to be the case or do I need to change something in my configuration?

Here is a video of the system: 

tommy, idk, isn't linuxCNC built on python?

Those lines won't work in the remap (if that is what you meant) you would need to connect those to a HAL pin in qtdragon, then read the pins n the remap. I'm at work right now but will see if I can make a sample file for qtdragon tonight. You use master and regular or HD dragon?

If you want to change lots of button text, it's probably better to use translation process. See here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtdrago...internationalisation

You can do this to change the text even to different English names.

If it's just a few then stylessheets is less involved but you would need to use designer to see the button text or search the .ui file.

It's strange because it has always worked like this for me in Probe Basic and also previously using other interfaces.
Is there any possibility of continuing to use it?

That's been very successful! Thanks! MY spindle is turning! Just in the wrong direction but that's no problem. I can wire it up so that its CW. The next days I will check how to configure the pendant for spindle control. But today, Iam very happy that the spindle is turning!
Thanks a lot, PCW!

hey there

i have been trying to get your guide working 

getting a issue that stops me in my tracks

i just downloaded the latest 2.9.4 iso file.
and i am testing in a virtual machine VM

following your guide halfway through step 3

"then move the NativeCam folder in:
/usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp

sudo mv NativeCam /usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp

and this fails with the error  mv: cannot stat 'NativeCam' : No such file or directory

everything up to this stage seemed to work

would love any help you have cheers

I am in the process of getting our Mazak VTC16B Retrofit wrapped up. We ended up using dmitry's NYX hardware & IO interface. For config, we took one of the nyx MDS sample configs and adapted it to our I/O. We got everything to work in Axis, now we are trying to switch to GMOCCAPY. 

The issue we are having is that I keep getting an error when loading any sample version (or our own local version) of gmoccapy, I keep getting this error along the lines of "/usr/share/gmoccapy/gmoccapy.glade:5576:1 Duplicate object ID 'chk_use_kb_shortcuts' (previously on line 4179) (8)
 (gmoccapy:62)". I confirmed there is a duplicate block in gmoccapy.glade. I have searched the github issues but can't seem to find anything on if this is a known issue or not. Is this a known issue with Gmoccapy in 2.9.4, or does it appear like I have a corrupted install? Any help would be much appreciated. 

I've attached our machine hardware info, error report, & gmoccapy.glade file.

Thanks!

Hello LinuxCNC community,We are a group of engineering students working on our semester project – building a CNC plasma cutter using LinuxCNC as the control system.Since we are developing the machine from scratch and learning LinuxCNC at the same time, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss and receive guidance from experienced users. We are particularly interested in understanding potential challenges, key considerations, and best practices for setting up LinuxCNC for our machine.Brief Overview of Our Machine:

• CNC plasma cutter with X, Y, and Z axes
• Z-axis with a ball screw and linear guides
• Floating head with a proximity sensor as a probe input
• Plasma cutter with a voltage divider and THC (Torch Height Control)
• LinuxCNC control, likely using Mesa hardware
• Torch Height Control (THC) integration via Mesa THCAD-2
• Voltage divider (50:1) for plasma voltage feedback
• Probing system for automatic height sensing before cutting

We have already explored various existing solutions, but we would love to hear from those with practical experience in setting up and running a CNC plasma cutter with LinuxCNC.Some key topics we would like input on:

• Choosing the right hardware (drivers, Mesa cards, sensors)
• Configuring LinuxCNC (HAL, INI, probe input, THC integration)
• Common challenges and pitfalls when setting up a plasma cutter
• Best practices for calibration and fine-tuning

If anyone is willing to share their expertise or discuss this with us in more detail, we would greatly appreciate it. A virtual meeting would also be very valuable for us.Thank you in advance for your time and help.Best regards,
Ibrahim Al-N and the 4.semster students at Absalon Kalundborg (Denmark) 

Hello, I'm currently trying to create a handwheel with the Arduino. Now I'm having a problem with the HAL.

I added in my CNC.hal : 

loadusr arduino-connector
net zJog => axis.z.jog-counts <= arduino.counter.0
axis.z.jog-enable = 1
axis.z.jog-scale = 0.1

When I start my CNC I get the error "Pin 'arduino.counter.0' does not exist". When I try this commands in "Halshow" it works fine.

Can someone help me with this?

ok so when i set this all up it was foreign until it wasn't and know its foreign again. I look at the step conf wizard and input the info the best I remembered . I have 3:1 on rack n pinion stepping at 16 motors are 1.8 so input 200 this returns something like 9600 which is way off from what im actually running 2793 on step scale. ran some testing until i had it dialed in to 2778 step scale and now its back to hitting 36" and 72" give or take 1/16 or best a tape measurer can provide. Im guessing in the step conf wizard im entering bad info since the step scale is so far off from my real world example. still not sure why I would be hitting spot on for over a year and than all of a sudden need to make a minor step scale change.

Where can find a skeleton of qss file with all button strings ?
