Good morning everyone!
I am new to linux(cnc), but I am making progress
The next item on my todo list is to setup a VNC server on my cnc machine. 

I read that linuxcnc 2.9.3 (or debian12) has a pre-installed vncserver (x11vnc?). Would you recommend this one over tigervnc etc?
And if so.... could someone tell me how to use it?
Simply connecting to that machine from another vnc client doesnt work out of the box.

Regards
Sebastian

Hello,

For some reason, reading a variable from the ini.file no longer works. Get the error message that the variable is not defined. However, the whole thing worked until the beginning of the year, but so far I didn't do anything unless it was updated today on the occasion.

Here is the excerpt from the INI and the sub -program for tool measurement.
Linuxcnc is the current 2.10 QTDragon HD.

INI
[WERKZEUGWECHSEL]
WECHSEL_POS_X                       = 150
WECHSEL_POS_Y                       = 20
WECHSEL_POS_Z                       = 0
WL_POS_X                            = 6.934             #(Position Taster X)
WL_POS_Y                            = 11.154            #(Position Taster Y)
WL_POS_Z                            = -100              #(Position sicheres Z, etwas laenger als laengstes Werkzeug, hoehe Taster beruecksichtigen)
WL_WEG_ZUM_SENSOR                   = -70               #(Messdistanz, Weg innerhalb der Taster ausloesen muss)

Tool length
#1801=#<_ini[WERKZEUGWECHSEL]WL_POS_X>                                  (Position Taster X)
#1802=#<_ini[WERKZEUGWECHSEL]WL_POS_Y>                                  (Position Taster Y)
#1800=#<_ini[WERKZEUGWECHSEL]WL_POS_Z>                                  (Position sicheres Z, etwas laenger als laengstes Werkzeug, hoehe Taster beruecksichtigen)
#1804=#<_ini[WERKZEUGWECHSEL]WL_WEG_ZUM_SENSOR>                         (Messdistanz, Weg innerhalb der Taster ausloesen muss)

If something has changed in the syntax, if I assign the values ​​directly in the measurement, I don't get a mistake.
I found it pleasant to have the values ​​in the Ini.

I somehow don't get the measurement routine built into Qtdragon. I work with two buttons switched in series as an opener. What one is installed and the other flies to workpiece height measurement.

Thank you very much and have a nice weekend Frank.

OK cool, thanks for that, I think I'll try it out. The tangnano is doing the job nicely so far but runs out of pins quickly when you include 4 axis closed loop with index pulses.

Cheers.

Yes there is a mux4. But then you will one have 2 selction bits and he needs three. Assuming there is a fourth state where nothing is active otherwise mux4 is doable I would say.

in the near future. The stepper-ninja hal driver run in the servo-thread so the minimum width of one input is 1 servo thread refresh in length, with 1KHz servo-thread its 1mS, something like this: when you see a ruler, all 1mm division represents a servo thread cycle, the signal only starts in the divisions and only end on the divisions. With low spindle speed its probably working, but if you want better threading you use printer port for the lathe spindle encoder.
