one step closer
 

definitely needs a servo with a brake though. designed a little adapter.
 

Alternate atc option. this might be the one we end up with. best mix of simplicity, being out of the work area and holding 10 tools.

holy shit I am not sure why they made this so hard

Yeah, these are mostly themed widgets so some options require setting via styles. It can be a PITA.

I want to increase the size of the text and icons

It seems to need an update for the first run, the below bigfileopen.tcl touches every widget in the dialog and includes the update.
Warning: Spoiler!

Normally, you would touch off using a G54 at the vice position. It should remember that.

The better way is to use estop_latch. There is a tutorial here
forum.linuxcnc.org/47-hal-examples/25861-external-e-stop
it is possible to daisy chain multiple estop_latch components together but its not documented anywhere
I found drawing a diagram of the connections helps to work it out.
Here is  video which may be useful

holy shit I am not sure why they made this so hard. they are using a different font class
for changing the font size in the file menu -
rC('font','configure','TkIconFont','-family', fontName, '-size', fontSize)
rC('font','configure','TkTextFont','-family', fontName, '-size', fontSize)

for posteriority heres how I got there. fbox takes the files and makes them into an Iconlist, which then uses the font family TkIconFont to configure this megawidget "Iconlist"

I thought it was odd that some of the widgets configured to our textsize and font but some did not. Its the same case for the entry widget that loads the file name. The colours dont change for most widgets unless you change the colour after you open, and even then only some widgets configure. The options in the listbox configure colour but none of the other text changes colour.

nawaf are you using regularmac800? that will make this easier. you can just add those 2 lines, or get the update from the github.

unfortunately this doesnt make it a better file browser. there are some alternative ones i want to try out when i figure out how

First Start Up - E Stops

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hi Friends, 

Not sure this is the right place for this but here we are. I just about finishing transitioning my Queenbee Pro ( Link ) from mach 3 to LCNC with the help of a mesa 7i96s card. I have been following  this guide  as much as made sense and was able to get through the setup. My intent was to get though the setup then tune everything in once i am sure it all works. I am building a tangential cutter with a servo motor as the cutting head so i went with an XYZA setup and didn't include a spindle.

Now that i am through the setup i use the new desktop shortcut to open and start to try and run the machine and i click the estop in the top right (gmocappy) and get the following message, "External ESTOP is set, could not change state!". 

I have two e stops but one is configured in the pncconf as a custom input (was planning on putting them in series eventually or making the custom input an estop function if i can figure that out) and they're both NC. It doesn't go through any motors/drivers its simply ran from +24V Power Supply --> External Estop-->  Mesa Pin. Is this correct??

I am happy to provide any files or logs that can assist.

Chinese Servo Drive Calibration XP200

Category: Milling Machines

I just received a XP200-30pl servo drive and I am now looking for a manual in English. The documentation sent was a one page sheet all in Chinese I noticed in this thread that there is a I/O drawing in English. If someone has a English manual for the XP200 please send let me know.

Thanks

I have not found any formal documentation on the encoders or any note in the machine’s schematics, so I don’t know.

You did say in a previous response that you thought my encoders are 1M units per revolution, in response to a post where I provided the model number.

Tomorrow I will do more testing - I will try to verify one complete rotation and see how the counts check out.

What is the counts per turn value for the encoder?
