Since this is for a lathe, there are only 2 joints in the HAL parameters. LinuxCNC requires that the joints are numbered from 0 consecutively, that is, I can only have joints 0 and 1. The association between joint 1 and the z axis is done in the HAL files. With that association, GCode works properly.

As I mentioned before, the pendant was jogging the X axis as I wanted in Step, Velocity and Continuous mode before I moved to the mesa card. I was using exactly the same vc-p1as.hal file as the one I'm trying to use now. Something very subtle changed and that's what I'm trying to figure out.

I tried debugging with halmeter and see what signals were triggered when I used the pendant, but that didn't help much. I'm still learning about the HAL.

Thanks once again for looking into this issue.

The gcode (M62,M63,M66) method with digital I/O will work for any motion but you need to change the gcode.

If you need more than just G0 moves then you would likely need to make something up in HAL.

 

I can only control the brake with G0 moves.
here is the way;
I have to control the brake for G0,G1,G2,G3 and manuel movements. Because that axis' motor has mechanical brake.
In any type of movement, brake is have to be deactivated and after the movement it has to be activated again.

Do you have any opinion else ? What else I have to try?

Nice work you have done on that DIY EXE, with DIN rail mounting.

Hi,
Check the Z travel to reach the probe in the .ini file.

buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/

is debs you can see if your OS is there and 2.7 is built for that OS version.

In the process of setting up prprobebasic on my machine, coming from gmoccapy.
have configured as per the help files however am getting a error saying the file path for user tabs is missing (refer image)
any ideas what I may have missed?
 

Mini was depreciated in LinuxCNC 2.7.
You could make a similar GUI using Flex GUI.
