Subbed with @tomapc and was already subbed with @toma.cnc1 , i think, will also check @toma.3d.

Better late than never but here is a video showcasing Monokrom. I still think this is a pretty impressive GUI, thankls to JoCo..



It would be absolutely amazing if you guys could subscribe to my Youtube channel while watching it. I am 10 short of 1000 subscribers. Its only taken 15 years....

I did a clean install with Linux_Mint_22.1_LinuxCNC_2.10.iso
Linux_Mint_22.1_LinuxCNC_2.10.iso

and now this problem is gone

Befor I did install clean debian 12 and linuxcnc 2.10

Now I can run my peristaltic mist pump at a predefined speed at the press of the coolant mist button or M7 command.

My HALnow includes:
loadrt stepgen step_ type=0,0,0,0,0 ctrl_type=p,p,p,p,v
setp stepgen.4.velocity-cmd 20
setp stepgen.4.steplen 1
setp stepgen.4.stepspace 1
net pump-on iocontrol.0.coolant-mist => stepgen.4.enable
net pump-pulse stepgen.4.step parport.0.pin-14-out

I have been running this HAL code since 2021. It works reliably but these is only one stepper speed available i.e. setp stepgen.4.velocity-cmd 20. If I wish to change the stepper/peristaltic pump speed, I need to edit the HAL file and re start.

Is there a way to add a control to the AXIS control screen or add a pot or encoder the the parport pins which will allow me to change the stepgen speed (velocity-cmd 20) in the HAL file during a machining session.

Thank you very much endian for this converter, I used it and the output "ethercat-conf.xml" file seems correct.

A question associated with this project to integrate a crosshair laser into my machine.

At present the crosshair laser has been successfully integrated into the gvcp panel. My next effort is to allow the user to select the coordinate system to set to zero given the position marked by the crosshairs on the stock. I've added a HAL_Combo box which I can select the coordinate system, however, while monitoring the s32 pin with show_configuration I do not see any change in the value of the pin when selecting a different value. I would like to reference both the label and value columns of the liststore associate with the selection. Is that possible without resorting to a handler?

 

Hi Benny,
Thanks for your message!
If I understand correctly, the HAL lines are the implementation of my current comp file, right?

I would now have to add the position switch and the query for the switch position and then connect it to the emergency stop if the position is incorrect.

Do I add the HAL lines to my existing HAL?

thank you again for your time the hal scope confirmed your hypothesis there is one thing i wanted to confirm if i tune the acceleration parameters will it reduce the noise because i think i might of set it a little bit high

Hello everyone 
I want to create a new screen for a machine that i am working on 
Qtdragon seems ideal for me but i need to modify it by deleting some sections that i don't need and adding other sections and buttons i already installed glade and also qt creator. 
The board that am using ( mesa 7i76e) is in the machine and it's a bit far from me i couldn't use it for now so i can't create a project using my board configuration 
So i need to create a modified qtdragon template or modifying the .ui file of the qtdragon template 
When i create sim project based on qtdragon i couldn't find where i should make the modifications (.ui file doesn't exist in my project directory)
Anyone has an idea how to do that ? 
Thanks in advance
