bandit controller retrofit

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Probably best solution:

Scrap/sell old drives.
Scrap/sell everything else in the bandit except transformers and power filters, etc.
Buy a new stepper drive (possibly hybrid servo), if your machine has an encoder of some sort.
Install LinuxCNC on a PC with a parallel port (parhaps a PCIe/PCI card).
Buy a breakout board.
Connect it up.
Done!

Here you go: There's a 14 and 15.1" version available. I got the 14", and it goes by the very distinctive name of "Jhcztrk Touchscreen Portable Monitor 14 Inch Smaller Work PC Monitor with HDMI USB C, IPS Screen HDR, 400cd/m² FHD 1080P 99% sRGB".

Google search led to the method shown below, however it does not work for me.
I'm using auto login if that matters.

Suggestions?

Remove the BOB, measure at the parallel port.
Or use the tester and a piece of wire inserted in the pin 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 and ground/metal case.

Yet another LinuxCNC noob with a PCI card as Port1 issue.

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

If you can use for all your card the following command
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci.txt
sudo dmesg | grep parport > dmesg.txt
sudo ls /proc/ioports > ioports.txt

And as much it is a PITA copy the unedited txt files to a USB drive and attach them to your next post . Screenshots are difficult to work with.

whc-whb04b-6 button debounce

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Have you looked at your input signals from the button inputs with halscope? It is entirely possible that the way the signals are processed and transmitted within the device's hardware makes adding debounce filtering of the button inputs unnecessary or redundant. If you find that the signals need to be debounced you will probably need to either do it with a hal debounce component or rewrite the whc-whb04b driver to add that feature your self.

If I could ask a small favour, could you provide a link to the item, then I'll put the details of the screen in the big RPi thread for others that may be looking for a touchscreen.

Glad you've had success.

Cheers
Rob

just a note I also tried the port tester from here
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/4743-parallel-port-tester

Still no output that I can see.

tangential knife along multiple layer height

Category: AXIS

You could look at how myCNC works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcrRAU9BJ0E

docs.pv-automation.com/quickstart/mycnc-...ngential-knife-setup
It adds the rotations and retracts automatically without touching the G-code, like how you were thinking.

EdingCNC works the same way:

Tangential knife, you need to program only X.Y coordinates and the tangential knife follows, also in circles and lifts automatically up when needed.

Thank you for the guidance!

I got a super cheap 65eur 14" touchscreen off Amazon where the seller stated it is USB HID and it works just perfectly fine first try. Much easier indeed to use standard USB than trying to make drivers work for a dedicated solution. 

Couldn't be happier how it turned out - using the VESA mounts to attach the raspi on the back, and have a desk stand I will mount to the back of the mill stand to hold the screen in place.

Couldn't get the WARNING icon in LcncDialog

Category: Qtvcp

Hi, I had a little trouble displaying the warning icon in a LcncDialog widget. I think it's caused by setting the default to INFO icon before checking WARNING and CRITICAL (dialog_widget.py in master 0fda49f):
# convert text descriptions to actual icons
if icon == 'QUESTION': icon = QMessageBox.Question
elif icon == 'INFO' or isinstance(icon,str): icon = QMessageBox.Information
elif icon == 'WARNING': icon = QMessageBox.Warning
elif icon == 'CRITICAL': icon = QMessageBox.Critical
self.setIcon(icon)


Changing the sequence of the statements lets me choose also the WARNING icon.
# convert text descriptions to actual icons
if icon == 'QUESTION': icon = QMessageBox.Question
elif icon == 'WARNING': icon = QMessageBox.Warning
elif icon == 'CRITICAL': icon = QMessageBox.Critical
elif icon == 'INFO' or isinstance(icon,str):icon = QMessageBox.Information
self.setIcon(icon)

Sorry, have some problems formatting the code passage in my message

@MennilTossFlykune,

Very nice contribution!
The planner could add these z motion steps too. And additional steps if needed.

Maybe someone is interested to write a paper how the tangential module should work within linuxcnc
in a nice TANGENTIAL.md file, that can be included with the source.

Then i can just read the paper and tranfer the workflow into code.
