Hello! Have you tried loading icons or .png into the "Label"? I created resources.qrc and specified two folders, one for icons and the second for image.png. Everything is ok in the preview. But when compiling in linuxcnc the image is not displayed!

HI
Sorry, am I wrong or does LinuxCNC already take the tool values ​​from the .tbl file?
When you insert a new tool into the table, you update the table before closing it and LinuxCNC takes the new data, offset and diameter
X and Y depend on the rack are fixed in the tool_change.ngc file
It already works like this without external scripts
Maybe I misunderstand

Perfect. So each Mesa will have its own BIT file, specific to machine it is installed in and on the laptop side INI + HAL per machine. So it looks like GUI is invoked by INI file and each machine can have a different one. Nice. Looks like nice, interesting and long adventure:) Thank you.

I have redone the cabling between the EL5101 and the THCAD300. Unfortunately I was unable to measure the min/max voltage on the 5V supply from the EL5101. So I have switched to a dedicated 5V power supply to power the THCAD and used a new twisted pair of cables to connect the differential signal to the A+ and A- phases of the EL5101.

Unfortunately the issue persists. Drop length is about 10ms and seems to be at random intervals. Frequency goes from 1824 Hz at 0V down to about 25 Hz. Divider ratio on the THCAD is currently at 1/64.

The second EL5101 with the THCAD2 for ohmic sensing behaves the same way. However for ohmic sensing, the drops are not really critical and and functionality is still given. Different story for the THC which raises the torch on every drop.
