Hello and apologies for my lack of English. I would say that I have only updated LinuCnc, installed other software, such as kdenlive, which I know may not be the right distro for editing videos, but I wanted to try it more, in fact I make music, I would like to try Ardor, Lmms, among others, with their kernel, obviously, but suddenly, I see that my task manager does not get larger, nor do I see the maximize option, it remains small. If I click, I cannot go down with the mouse, to choose an option, I must do it with the arrows, and press enter, there is no other way and I consider that I must reestablish my LinuxCNC, I do not have any machine connected to my LnuxCnc, which It is installed on a touch netbook, which I love, with its i3, 4 gigabytes of ram and SSD, it has a disabled VGA output, but opening it you can see the internal connections of its internal circuit, I am going to measure its voltages and HDMI.

The GSK 980TDb lathe has a cable with a connection similar to a VGA, but with 2 lines, with only 3 very thin cables that make it up. I mean, in the form of a vga, but more cool, I'll see if I can attach a photo of it, I would like to be able to assemble a thread for that cable and then be able to connect the cnc to my machine, I would love to, I hope you know the lathe and Find some guide, or work done, that you can share with me. I never did it.

_ Another thing I think about is using the latest or stable Freecad, to make the gcode, it is very complete and complex, I like it a lot, what do you think? I know about Inskape, what other options?

_ When I asked for the 32-bit LinuxCNC, which they kindly shared with me, I installed it on 8 very old cpus, IDE disk and 512 megabytes of ddr ram, they turned out beautiful, which I already shared with you, but I can't find the 32-bit Freecad, Do you have it there to share it? If my view of using Freecad is valid, of course.

_ Excuse my extension, I am a newbie to LinuxCNC, obviously you will notice, but I really like this beautiful option, the essential thing is to recover it and not have to install everything again.
When I write to you I see my Firefox, maximized to 3/4 of my entire screen, if I press maximize, it is already full, there is no option, nor minimize, if it closes with its X.

Thank you very much in advance, a great admirer of yours greets you, the LinuxCNC Team, what's more, I have some netbooks from the School, which I am going to install an activated W11, for those who are asleep, and dual boot to install LinuxCNC, 64 bits For me, and those who come down understanding that in Education, if we want real freedom for our students, we must use free software, like LinuxCNC. Very kind!...
Finally, my cell phone does not recognize me, which I connected via USB, as always to my 64-bit LinuxCnc. Pity. I sent my query and if it is possible for you to answer me, I thank you in advance, I will download my photos to another distro, so I can have them on my netbook. Thank you very much again.

Thank you for your patience, have not seen this in time.
Both drawings are wrong, but not your fault as the whole internet refers to 0V as gnd, and that is wrong for the last 30 or more years. Skipping that...
In short, ground from mains to ground bar, from ground bar to power supply, another one from bar to motor frame or motor ground wire, encoder shield to ground bar. No more.
If you have betetr quality drives, use only two wires for step and two for dir, wire step+ to step/pulse+ and step- to step/pulse-, same for dir pins.

I can tell only from my experience, i set SUBROUTINE_PATH and USER_M_PATH in [RS274NGC] section.

Maybe should have posted in one of the JT's MesaCT topics, seems he has not seen this.

Fixed the tittle, it was "patch", threw me off.

Not sure, but i think subroutines should be set executable in permissions.

I'm struggling trying to get the HAL setup correctly.  1st the vBox slider value doesn't appear to be scaled. 

 

Are the controls for rcpwmgen only rate, width, offset, and scale?

What am I missing, seems like a simple control

     

 

@Ray_TL00 As far as I know you should be able to install Debian 12 on i386:
cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/

And install the rt kernel: sudo apt install linux-image-rt-686-pae

If it cannot find the kernel you might need to add the arch:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i686

After installing the kernel, reboot and: sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Then install linuxcnc: sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev

Update…

I have been thinking and reading some more and I think that if I can find a way to access the system variables #<_current_tool> and #<_selected_tool> from within a G/O-Code subroutine, I think I can find a way to do this.

If I haven’t overlooked something important, a subroutine to return the current tool from the spindle to its pocket and retrieving the requested tool from its pocket and inserting it into the spindle shouldn’t be too diffucult, since all the tool-carousel moves, except the carousel rotation, are controlled by pneumatic cylinders. All the tools in the carousel have fixed pockets, so it is relatively easy to keep track of their positions.

I might be totally wrong here, but I will give it a go and see if I can make it work.

I will keep you posted.

And if you have any hints, tips, tricks or suggestions regarding this, please let me know.

Have a nice day folks.

Damn, it got to 10$ in price! I got mine for 5$ each right before the pandemic started.

no need to apologize tommylight. I tried finding that exact board and for some reason I can't find it here in 
the states, instead I got what was pictured earlier. Hopefully it works out. I will be testing the other SSR still to
see if it can be PWM'd to any usable effect or if it is completely unusable for anything other then a switch.

This is what I am doing (reading the frequency directly) and it works very well.

Looks like it could handle full 4' x 8' sheets of foam . Cool. Does your DevFoam program also make code for a 5th axis?

Hi all, today I've tried to flash my nvem (v6), unfortunately without luck. I've got timeout error.
I've used this daplink device :
github.com/wuxx/nanoDAP/blob/master/user_manual_en.md

I've connected nvem to my daplink like that(looking at the nvem from the bottom, so my daplink connectors are on bottom-right) :
1-not connected 
2-tms/io
3-tck/ck
4-gnd 


I've connected external 24v to nvem board. 
I'm not sure what I've done wrong. Can someone please help? 

 

Hi,
I have added
SUBROUTINE_PATH  = /home/km/G_Code/SUB/

in to DISPLAY sectoion of INI file, but this has no effect.
I can only call subroutines if their files are in PROGRAM_PREFIX directory.

How to correctly specify subroutine patch for AXIS?

Cris.

Use a BTS7690 or whatever numbers, very cheap, has no slow optocouplers to mess the signal, as there is no need for isalation from the same power supply.
And each can controll 2 heaters independently (well it can do 4 but ... ), can handle over 30A i think on each IC.
Edit:
Oooops, i mentioned this before on this topic, sorry.
