"qtplasmac" "plasmac" are the 2 components that would need to be added i believe those get loaded with the ui their pins arent visible in the config hal file.
i think the options needed would be to add qtplasmac in gui dropdown then there is a gui options tab ,and user buttons
for the inputs pnconf has plasma in the first layer of the dropdown menu then
Arc Ok / plasmac:arc-ok-in
==> db_arc-ok.in
<== hm2_7i96.0.gpio.001.in
Ohmic contact / plasmac:ohmic-sense-in
==> plasmac.ohmic-sense-in
Float switch / plasmac:float-switch
==> db_float.in
plasmac:float-switch-out
<== db_float.out
==> plasmac.float-switch
==> qtplasmac.led_float_switch
Break away / plasmac:breakaway-switch-out
<== db_breakaway.out
==> plasmac.breakaway
==> qtplasmac.led_breakaway_switch
Move up / plasmac:move-up
==> plasmac.move-up
Move down / plasmac:move-down
==> plasmac.move-down
for the outputs
ohmic enable / plasmac:ohmic-enable
==> ohmicsense.is-probing
<== plasmac.ohmic-enable
scribe arm / plasmac:scribe-arm-delay
==> plasmac.scribe-arm-delay
<== qtplasmac.scribe_arm_delay-f
scribe on / plasmac:scribe-start
==> plasmac.scribe-start
<== spindle.1.on
torch on / plasmac:torch-on
==> hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00
<== plasmac.torch-on
==> qtplasmac.led_torch_on
laser on /plasmac:laser-on
==> hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-01
<== qtplasmac.laser_on
in an encoder option
Arc voltage / plasmac:arc-voltage-in
<== hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.velocity
==> plasmac.arc-voltage-in
those are the main connections made in pnconf

i wish i could be more help with this since im asking

what kind of hardware are you trying to hook up?
First thing would be make it work in TwinCAT, so that you are sure your wiring is correct and everything works.
Next step would be transfer of settings over to linuxcnc.

Hi sir, I have done it but is showing
" Near line 2 of //
Bad character '\357' used.
for a cavity milling operation.
I am using NX 11.0 and Linux CNC 2.8

Yea, my memory is certainly not what it once was and I cannot blame the heat. The only excuse I have is that I almost exclusively use rip installs.

Regarding the error you may want to try:

If you have a simple network and don't have any proxy details you can skip that part.

Mirror lets you choose a repo geographically close to you, unless you are installing a large number of packages and the server your are using is slowwwwwwww don't worry about it.

You need a user name & password. Like many concepts of Quantum Physics just accept it for what it is.

Since the installer is just a plain Debian installer many answers can be found here, the only difference being Linuxcnc packages are installed and a realtime kernel is install as well:
www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/

Hi JT,
I just did a fresh install of linuxCNC 2.9.3 and MesaCT 2.1.4.

Things that I notice & happen-
When I run the software the info panel reports LinuxCNC version 2.9.0 not 2.9.3

1. I enter the machine name and check load this config & backup config.
2. When I press default Metric for the linear units, the info in 1. above disappears. In fact if I enter the Mesa setup, verify the board then press Default metric all that information disappears as well. Is this normal behavior for the software?

Also noticed step 3 in your help "Select Max Linear Velocity" does not exist on the Machine tab but it does on the Settings tab.

I just realized that I also have a 2.10 rip installation on that machine. So you are probably right and the deb installation does not come with the c source files. Kind of makes sense I guess.
 

you made me feel shocked... I'm not 30 anymore but I didn't remember about the /linuxcnc folder... I thought I had problems with my memory and the scorching heat that is here these days.

at the end I compile a rip with these:

but have these error too ...


 

Maybe this comment in the source code of the trajectory planner from 'src/emc/tp/tc.c' can give a bit of an idea:  

Yes this sentence in particular:

In a blend that is an exact reversal, this causes the total axis acceleration to equal the INI file MAX_ACCELERATION.

Seems to allude to coordinated motion of more than one axis but why is that 'an exact reversal'?


This behavior has been discussed several times but I don't think anybody had an explanation for it:

forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...long?start=10#210458
forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuratio...n-config-file#279913

This one is particularly interesting:
forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuratio...eration-value#128957

I don't understand the content of this part, why use half of the acceleration? Is there any article that can explain this problem in detail?

Important User Concepts (linuxcnc.org)  1.4. Planning MovesMake sure moves are long enough to suit your machine/material. Principally because of the rule that the machine will never move at such a speed that it cannot come to a complete stop at the end of the current movement, there is a minimum movement length that will allow the machine to keep up a requested feed rate with a given acceleration setting.The acceleration and deceleration phase each use half the INI file MAX_ACCELERATION. In a blend that is an exact reversal, this causes the total axis acceleration to equal the INI file MAX_ACCELERATION. In other cases, the actual machine acceleration is somewhat less than the INI file acceleration.To keep up the feed rate, the move must be longer than the distance it takes to accelerate from 0 to the desired feed rate and then stop again. Using A as 1/2 the INI file MAX_ACCELERATION and F as the feed rate in units per second, the acceleration time is ta = F/A and the acceleration distance is da = F*ta/2. The deceleration time and distance are the same, making the critical distance d = da + dd = 2 * da = F2/A.For example, for a feed rate of 1 inch per second and an acceleration of 10 inches/sec2, the critical distance is 12/10 = 1/10 = 0.1 inches.For a feed rate of 0.5 inch per second, the critical distance is 52/100 = 25/100 = 0.025 inches.

OOps, my appologies.
I just realized that I also have a 2.10 rip installation on that machine. So you are probably right and the deb installation does not come with the c source files. Kind of makes sense I guess.

Sorry and ~/ means for xxx/home/linuxcnc or /linuxcnc ... because I install from package manager too .... 5 month ago ... than start now to check again my new project and not find that folders .... all linuxcnc is on ~/lib, ~/usr/share, ~/bin, ~/etc .... there are not folder named ~/linuxcnc .....

 

Try:

just checked on 2.9.2 installed through the package manager on a LMDE system , 'halcmd.h' is located in '~/linuxcnc/src/hal/utils'
