What does it do when you try adjust the speed? Is it a VFD you are using? What is the speed input to the vfd pwm or 0-10v analog. Have you the VFD wired correctly ?

I'm a n00b, straight from UGS, so I don't know if that will be an issue. I anticipate using the pendant during setup, so being on the "Manual Control" window might not be a problem.

What's a solution to the focus problem?

Yes PCW, is the same Realtek with dkms driver for fix latency.
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question: is it really necessary to do the test with YouTube?

When you get an error, what does:

halcmd show param *.tmax

(typed in a terminal)

show?



 

OK, I figured out a way to select from the GUI list of jog increments using a single keystroke.

There's more than meets the eye. You've got to pull in some GUI elements that are only apparent if you read through axis.py. It's not good enough to set the increment because the GUI will re-set it based on the dropdown.

import linuxcnc
import tkinter
import hal

def set_jog_inc_rc( event, index ):
global comp, jogincr_index_last

root_window.call( widgets.jogincr._w, "select", index )
jogincr = widgets.jogincr.get()
print( f"setting jog increment to {jogincr} inch " )
comp = float( jogincr.translate(str.maketrans("", "", string.ascii_letters)) ) # remove "in"


root_window.bind( "<e>", lambda event: set_jog_inc_rc( event, 5 ) )
root_window.bind( "<f>", lambda event: set_jog_inc_rc( event, 3 ) )
root_window.bind( "<g>", lambda event: set_jog_inc_rc( event, 1 ) )
