I just did this for my CNC. Here are the HAL bits I used.  Amusingly, I can't find where <axis>-fault is connected, but I *do* get following errors when I hit things.  More testing required...

Did you try inverting the input ?

Did you ever figure this out? I also found this bug in probe screen v2.8: github.com/verser-git/probe_screen_v2.8/...probe_screen.py#L341

Increasing the timeout makes no difference as wait_complete always returns immediately. I'm also on linuxcnc 2.8.4

This line:
                time_in = 1 + (distance / self.ps_rapid_speed ) * 60
github.com/verser-git/probe_screen_v2.8/...probe_screen.py#L338

It doesnt calculate with ramps, so time cant be enough.

I preffer use long time:forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...ete-timed-out#296683

I dont know if this answers your question, but when i use the machine with amp.fault comment out it works fine as soon as I enable the machine with amp.fault enabled it faults instantly I just wanted to use this feature from my understanding it could be useful.

Thanks

See my post on page 6.The slave reports with a completely different configuration. I haven't changed anything; these are the factory settings. I now have two options: either I create a minimal configuration where I activate csp mode, or I do this directly via the servo or software.

Successfully retrofitted!

This is such an improvement.  Qtplasmac has all the features that I liked about the Hypertherm Microedge controller and Phoenix software while being way less clunky and easier to navigate.  

I'm using hypertherms vdc3 board for ohmic and divided voltage. Ohmic is still just as light and can detect alum foil.

Thank you guys so much for the help.  I still need to finish configuring the homing setup for a dual motor gantry setup.  I'll read through the docs some more before I ask questions.

Awesome, and thank you! I'll give this a shot.

There is no point in looking for 279. Both versions of the same program start in the XYZ configuration and work normally. Both versions crash in the same way when working with XXYYZ.

This is a different question/issue. 

I was looking for the 279 kernel because I want to make a new 2.9.7 deb package (and possibly an ISO)

I am looking at your f-error and probe issues too, but I thought that a new package might be relatively easy. 

That's how it's done. You really don't tell us much.
Isn't the problem that the slave is not available in the current configuration then?

Hi AlexMagToast,I’ve been following your Arduino IO-Expansion project for a while now and I just wanted to say thank you, really great work! Thanks for sharing!I’m currently planning a control panel for my lathe and your project looks like it could be a good fit even though my setup is a bit different from yours. I won’t need the matrix keyboard because I’m planning to use a StreamDeck for most of the button functions (there’s a tool for LinuxCNC support here: forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/52628...for-linuxcnc?start=0 ).  For the panel itself I would still need some hardware I/Os:
-> 8–10 digital inputs/outputs (joystick, rapid, spindle, LEDs, etc.)
-> 3 analog inputs for potentiometers (feed override, spindle override, handfeed)
-> 2 encoder inputs for handwheelsI wanted to use the Heidenhain ROD450 with 500 lines on the handwheels the lathe came with through Beckhoff EtherCAT hardware, but the 11µA sinus signals are a bit of a nightmare to read out. So I’m now considering a simpler approach with two inexpensive TTL encoders from China, which your Arduino setup should handle much more easily.My questions:
How stable has your Arduino solution been for you so far? Are you still happy with it? Especially on the same USB cable with the StreamDeck.
Which board would you recommend for what I’m trying to do? Uno, Mega, ESP32 or something else? Does someone recommend a different hardware setup?Thanks again for sharing your project. It’s cool to see alternatives to the usual hardware solutions, and I’d appreciate any advice before I start buying components. Greetings Tom

There are lots of comments here abut running the 5.4.279 kernels, but I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere. Any clues?

The link in the first post of the thread says 5.4.279 but leads to 5.4.290 debs.

That won't work.The Slave is currently unavailable in the current configuration.I will have to set it manually.

Upon reflection, do what thy will.

I have been tuning some steppers using the stepdir plugin and the quadencoder plugins as feedback. The tuning hasn't been working too well and I'm curious if it is possible to set the Stepgen into velocity mode? Thankyou!
