This suggests that something (like a remap) is calling a bit of G-code with the letter E in it.
Or possibly there is something in your actual G-code file that is making it see an E as a command?

yeah this implementation has been a long time coming, it wasn't a small undertaking and is still a work in progress, but it should really help users get going! pretty jazzed about it!

I would run an apt update to make sure you are on the latest probe basic to ensure your sim config contains the most recent updates

the user parameters require the var file to have the numbered variable listed in the file, this makes them persistent, if they are not in the file they are volatile which will work if entered in the ui for that instance but not be stored. the ui also has a settings storage method and this can become unsynched if the var file is missing the listed parameter numbers. it is an issue we are trying to resolve but as long as everything is in place it works as expected without issue.

the subroutines contain update parameter subs which are responsible for writing the newly ui entered parameters to the var file. so those need to be in place too!

is there enough cushion on the opposite side of the X extrusion to slide everything over enough to have a tool rack on the outside of the left side gantry upright? or maybe consider the cost comparison/complexity to be able to add a longer set of rails and a bolt on extension to make that possible?

Im an electronics technician located in Denmark with an hobby interest in mechanical design, cnc milling and additive manufacturing.

A couple of years ago I bought an cnc router with zero experience in the field. The building and electrical parts where a breeze and the grbl controller that I bought back then was an easy thing to flash with fluidNC and get going. 

Now I'm going into more advanced features and adding an self designed atc system hereby arose the need for a more capable controller. The choice settled on the Mesanet 7c80 due to form factor with the rpi and the number of i/o without the need for an daughterboard.

I have experience with rpi/arduino/esp32 projects and have worked a limited bit with commercial fpga cards before.

I have never worked with Linuxcnc before but settled on this environment and the mesa board due to:
1. active community 
2. Full customization

So the big question is, where do I begin? What would be a good course of action to get going in an orderly manner? 

The hardware:
clossed loop steppers and drivers
XYYZ + AB (possible used to manipulated the ATC later)
inductive sensors on all axis
several solunoidvalves (mist and air)
several relays (pumps and spindle light)
surface probe
tool lenght sensor
several failsafe and e-stops
ballscrews on all axis

The atc system will be an add on later and will not be a part of the initial setup.

The electrical part is going to be an non issue for me I have already planned this from the drawings in the 7c80 manual.

Thanks in advance
