thanks Chris.
I will try 'em both.
Buildbot2 has a new master deb yesterday.
looks like your changes are included...

* qtvcp -action tool button: add dro/dtg/large font controls
* qtvcp -gcode graphics: add dro on/off view signals
* qtvcp -qt5_graphics: add enable dro functions
* qtvcp -qt_action: fix dro view keyword, add DTG keyword

Gmoccapy 3.5.0 - opinions needed

Category: Gmoccapy

Hello Hans,

I tested 3.5.0
Is there any reason why "G-code properties" is also displayed in manual and mdi mode?
I think it's unnecessary, that "G-code properties" should be displayed in program mode. My opinion.


Wouldn't it be better to name "G-code properties" "Program properties"?

G53 not ignoring tool length offset after a Python M6 remap

Category: Advanced Configuration

Thanks for the reply.

I can't use self.execute() as using INTERP_EXECUTE_FINISH is unavoidable in my procedure, and no MDI commands can be sent after it. I made it possible to switch between ATC and manual tool change (like drop tool, ask to insert a new one).

At least my understanding about emccanon.USE_TOOL_LENGTH_OFFSET() is that it's supposed to be the equivalent of G43, as it issues the same EMC_TRAJ_SET_OFFSET message. Apparently, it does not fully update the initial state.

Calling USE_TOOL_LENGTH_OFFSET() multiple times before moving does not resolve the problem.

G53 not ignoring tool length offset after a Python M6 remap

Category: Advanced Configuration

Not sure but I think that 'emccanon.USE_TOOL_LENGTH_OFFSET(pose)'
might actually not be a good approach here.

 Note that 'G53' will actually use the 'tool_offset' values to calculate the target coordinates:

if(block->z_flag) {
            *pz = block->z_number - s->origin_offset_z - s->axis_offset_z - s->tool_offset.tran.z;
        } else {
            *pz = s->current_z;
        }
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/1b8867.../interp_find.cc#L197
My guess would be that your change of tool-length is possibly not reflected in 'tool_offset.tran.z'.

Generally I've become very cautious about using 'emccanon' commands to manipulate offset values  in remaps. I've had a similar issue setting work offsets this way.
I changed to using 'self.execute(..' instead (although that has its own pitfalls).

See the mentioned issue with work offsets:

Apt dependency hell meets python's plethora of dependencies.

This is why I love SDKMan!

It's independent of the rest of the system, so you don't need to worry about annoyingness.

(But it only works with Java and its variants :( )

I noticed that after starting it doesn't load the 'true' state
in radiobuttons .

I modified this logic a bit and now it works:
rabiobutton with "radiotrue/true/radiofalse/false'
checkbox with 'checktrue/checkfalse'

What do you think about this?

Hmm so I had checked the datasheet earlier, never actually looked at price and availability, I see what you mean.

The main idea was to save pins, they run out quickly on the tang nano. I guess the simplest solution is to step up to the spartan 6.
There is OctoQuad by DigitalChickenLabs for the pi pico that will do a similar thing for 8 encoders via I2C but as you say it would also require a new plugin.

Cheers.

Hi Russell,
the LS7366 are no longer manufactured and you would have to write a new plugin. The ones you can still get are also quite expensive.

can't you just make a plug-in board (on the top) and route all the encoder pins to the top via pin headers?

Cheers, Olli

G53 not ignoring tool length offset after a Python M6 remap

Category: Advanced Configuration

Hi,

I'm writing an M6 remap in Python and encountered strange and dangerous behavior. After the first M6 call, G53 G0 takes into account the tool length offset, which should not be happening.
I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug in LinuxCNC. I hope you can help me clarify and resolve it.

LinuxCNC version: 2.9.4
UI (probably irrelevant): qtdragon_hd

This is a minimal working code to reproduce the issue:
# REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 prolog=change_prolog python=is_this_a_bug epilog=change_epilog
def is_this_a_bug(self):
    if self.task == 0:  # ignore the preview interpreter
        return INTERP_OK

    emccanon.CHANGE_TOOL_NUMBER(self.selected_pocket)
    yield INTERP_EXECUTE_FINISH
    pose = EmcPose()
    pose.z = -50
    emccanon.USE_TOOL_LENGTH_OFFSET(pose)
    yield INTERP_OK

Steps to reproduce the issue:
  • Turn on and home the machine
  • T6 M6: the tool is loaded and offsets are set correctly.
  • G53 G0 Z0: the spindle rapids down to -50mm. This is not expected.
  • G49: cancel tool length compensation.
  • G43: enable tool length compensation
  • G53 G0 Z: the spindle rapids back up to zero. This is expected.
The issue can no longer be reproduced by issuing T6 M6, everything works correctly.

Attaching debug logs for each command:

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

It's important to understand how Linuxcnc follows the programmed path.
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/user/user-concepts.html

Note that G64 Blend Without Tolerance Mode is the default

A good preamble should always be the first line of any nc code program.

Mill as lathe with probebasic

Category: QtPyVCP

Hey peeps.

I have A couple of questions. I want to use my mill as a cnc lathe.

Can I have pb turn and mill on seperate profiles? 
And can pb turn utilise 3 axis? I need the third to line up the work and to change tools which I will have in the vice.

The other option is using a custom post in fusion but im guessing thats way more complicated.

Thoughts? 

Much appreciated

Category: EtherCAT

Yes that would be a problem. Linuxcnc asks the encoder to reset the counter to zero and count continuously up/down from there. I don't know any details of this encoder so I guess it is reading the manual to find how that can be done. Luckily Beckhoff has ok manuals.
For velocity you can try the ddt hal function, generate velocity as the derivative of the position. Taking the encoder pin values is limited by the servo loop time and EtherCAT cycle time, anything faster than some hundred Hz will fail.

This requires QtDragon to support parsing (MDI_COMMAND, Gxx) output from FILTERs and executing it as an MDI command.

                        c.mdi(g_code)
                    else:
                        print("Interpreter not idle. Cannot send MDI.")
                    return
        print("No WCS (G54~G59.3) found.")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")

When you run the program directly, you can obtain the WSC, but it does not run automatically during the NGC loading.

Could this board be a contender for a cheap alternative for simple applications?

Category: Driver Boards

Hello

I'm using the same controller and I might be able to assist.
The attached PDF file is all the documentation I received / I could find online.

The board seems to use a custom protocol - not TCP/IP based, I can see the MAC of the controller board.

The current control software is ~ a pain - i need to keep a specific windows 10 virtual machine to run it.
There's no linux support.
I've been thinking for some time to rip it out and replace it with a MESA 7i96S or something similar.

If you think there might  be any interest in this controller, please point me to a list of thing to prepare - protocol capture via wireshark / data dumps between the CPU and the ethernet controller, etc.
