Have you checked squareness of the part, using a micrometer measure the height in the 4 corners. It dosent look like a machine problem more like a clamping/squareness or misalignment issue. Unless you are loosing steps....

Indeed, today I checked the perpendicularity of the clamp and the truth is that it was not right, that is why there is this misalignment in the piece. I have aligned it and now it works perfectly.

Thanks! 

ugh. haha

if i know it was gonna be this disorganised i would have not bothered. I though there was a pretty clear instruction path.

I've been developing a new GUI that was originally based off of QtAxis as a starting point.  I'd like to contribute it back as an example UI in official LinuxCNC QtVcp, but I wanted to ask first about whether that was generally encouraged or not.  My GUI may not be 100% ready for prime time yet, especially in terms of being completely generalized for any type of machine config/axis count/etc.  If new GUIs are indeed welcome, where is the bar set in terms of being fully tested and wrung out before inclusion?

 

hey rodw is it ok to post the link of your youtube live view?

Yes, a sserial card can add real time 24V I/O I would suggest a 7I84U which
adds 16x 5 to 28V 500 mA sinking or sourcing outputs and 32x 5-28V inputs.

The sserial devices are RS-422 so do not allow more than one device
per interface. This so the remote interface is real time.

The 7I95T also supports Modbus devices (mainly for VFD use).
Modbus I/O devices are common and inexpensive but do suffer
from a couple issues:

1. They are not real time
2. The inexpensive I/O devices I have tested do not have watchdogs
so leave outputs stuck on after LinuxCNC exits or there is a fault.
