Hello,
I have a question about coolant.
Im using costume made M-codes to controll the relays for my collant. (Air,flood,Mist => M100,M101,M102 and M105 turn off all)
I would like to know how can i address in the HAL file that if i press a button in the gui (qtDragon) that is turning on/off my coolant and of course i would like its working autoatically when the cnc is working. (Im using costume M-codes because im controlling more outputs)

net  coolant-flood  <= iocontrol.0.coolant-flood          //here i dont know how can i add the M101

thank you
 

Indeed a python2 vs python3 issue. If you have not customized 'stdglue.py' you can try and replace stdglue.py in your config/python directory with the current file:
'configs/sim/gmoccapy/python/stdglue.py'

There are several EDM machines using LinuxCNC on youtube, BaxEDM is one of them who builds and sells complete machines.
For retrofit, check if the existing drives and motors work and what control signal they accept, usually step/dir or analog +-10V.

Did you ever finish your retrofit? I have a Sodick that needs the same, I made a spark generator that seems to work so I am now ready to start the machine control part. I would benefit from your experience!

Not sure but what you can do is this:1. Open you config the way you are used to.2. Close linuxcnc3. open terminal and run (note the minus letter 'L' which should automatically open the last config you used):

linuxcnc -lPlease see attachment, afterwards, the came out Gmocapy screen still not okay

Start a new topic for that.

Maybe have a look at this:
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...-axis-display#314070

For testing the individual inputs, setting them to single ended mode
allows you to test each signal by simply grounding the A+,B+,IDX+
inputs

if you jumper the 7I76 for TTL/single ended mode,
you can test each input by simply grounding each
encoder+ input (TB3 pins 7,10,13 = A,B,IDX) and
watching them in halshow.
 

W4, W5, W6 are in the right hand position. Mode is differential.
