Not UNIX, that is SCO territory, it is NIX or GNU or GNU Linux, depending on how you look at it.
Several years back SCO filed a huge lawsuit against everything Linux for copyright B.S. so IBM got even more P.O. and sent some of it's layers and won.
IBM uses it on it's super computers, it was cheaper to pay lawyers than pay fees to SCO, and it was a huge win for Linux and humanity.
Just imagine for a moment if SCO won, how valuable would they be right now? Probably 2000X what NVIDIA is...

Darwin is the core Unix-like operating system of macOS (previously OS X and Mac OS X), iOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, audioOS, visionOS, and bridgeOS. It previously existed as an independent open-source operating system

> You do realize most Linux development is funded by the US government and intelligence agencies
most ? certainly not
a few of the developers ? certainly yes
but it is much more difficult to put backdoors in opensource than in closed source, and US companies are more or less forced to do so. That doesn't work so easily with FOSS

we should all be glad that there is open software otherwise the big companies could do whatever they want with us

@smc.collins
don't you find it a bit strange to rant about opensource programmers but on the other hand obviously use their software ?
or why are you in a LinuxCNC forum ?

and do i understand you correctly, if you would lower yourself to the level of a developer it would be no problem for you to write all the software yourself ?

do you even know what a narcissist is?
he feels superior to everyone else, never makes mistakes himself and it's always the others' fault.

If developers were like that, there would be no bug fixes, because that would mean that they had made a mistake.

But I can see a few characteristics in your behaviour
 

Well I just looked at the solution and although it does show inches the Manual Control (F3) is still working in mm’s, and of course so is the pendant. So it actually makes the situation more confusing. 

Come to think of it I had actually noticed this choice under View before.

Probably, but more importantly it was to prove that some users do not bother much with where should they post.
I absolutely do not mind posting on the wrong forum section, been there done that, and i gladly move posts/topics around when prompted, or when it seems OK to.
For some stuff it can be really confusing as to where the right place is as there might be several sections that will fit, so just pick one and go with it. And if at any time later appears to be a better place for it, just let us know so we can shuffle stuff around.

Personally, the most important part is keeping things clear and simple and easy to find for new users/members.

Do you have a more concrete example? I'm trying to think of how that's different from either an UINT64 or 8 UINT8s, depending on use.

Which device?

In the plot widget, to automatically reload a file when an offset has changed you could maybe use the fingerprint
For example:

        fingerprint = (self.logger.npts,
        self.soft_limits(),
        s.actual_position,
        s.motion_mode,
        s.current_vel,
        s.joint_actual_position,
        s.homed,
        s.limit,    
        s.tool_in_spindle,             
        s.g5x_offset,
        s.g92_offset,
        s.rotation_xy,
        s.tool_offset)

        if fingerprint[9:12] != self.fingerprint[9:12] or s.file != self._current_file:
            if self.display_loaded:
                self.load()

        if fingerprint != self.fingerprint:
            self.fingerprint = fingerprint            
            self.update()

Any chance you can share the whole configuration you have shown in your post a couple pages back? That looks pretty good. I've been pecking at a Flex UI for a bit but haven't gotten very far yet.

When did this happen?
Any proof of anything vaguely related? I really doubt it.
Or is this another "i seen it on tiktok so it is true" thing?

That is true, but it flourished since it was released to public domain.

Hello,

have anybody idea how to define data type array of bytes in the ethercat-conf.xml file which is loaded during startup of lcec?

I am working currently on some configuration file and in the twincat 3 enviroment is slave described PDOs as array[0...7] of bytes ...

I think if there will be definition over "complex" data type and inside will be byte to byte definition of each variable ...have anybody experiences with something like I desribed higher please?

thanks

regards

Hello,
I am in the process of retrofiting a ebosa 140 CNC lathe. It originally had a Siemens 3T control, Siemens brushed servos and Siemens brushed spindle motor with thyristor drive.

I will reuse the spindle motor with its drive, but will replace servomotors with new Lichuan ethercat motors.For IO I will use Beckhoff modules and Mesa hardware (6i25, 7i85, 7i73).Here are some pictures of the build currently.

 
This is the control cabinet, wiring still in progress.

 
And this is the control panel, laser cut stainless, cherry switches and potentiometers for overrides. screen is a chinese 14 inch touch screen.

Hello Julian,
I had already commented out this line as a test, but that didn't help.
I now simply call the following line when starting via rc.local:
     sudo ethtool -C enp1s0 rx-usecs 0
I leave it like that.

The installation of LCNC was really annoying! 
In contrast, I like the configuration with hal and ini very much.
I could configure a test axis relatively quickly (homing, limit switch and glass scale) - see: .
Now I'm waiting for LCNC 2.10. This version should include QT-Dragon-Lathe. With simCNC (which I use on my milling machine), the complete screen can be created and programmed quite easily (Python). I'm curious to see what it looks like with Qt-Dragon. 
However, as I haven't yet found a used table lathe for conversion to CNC, I won't be bothering with LCNC for the time being.


Greetings Anton

  So for maybe a week or so there was a section called Spam for Spammers. I don't know if it
was set up as a joke or not . I was certainly having some fun with it myself. Then someone
posted a legitimate question in it and a day or so later the section has disappeared.
What happened?. 

Looks like we are good to go 1000 tools
