This is a bug in halui.
It is not Norberts fault. I already reported this bug a while ago, in the current Linuxcnc release this should be fixed.
What version are you using ?

See release notes:
2.7.3

@All,

I fixed that bug, it was not very clear if it comes from the linuxcnc behavior or from gmoccapy, so I secured the way gmoccapy does handle that situations.

If you jog with the keyboard and while jogging you press "i" the increments would not change! But the jog movement will finish as desired.
If you jog using the keyboard and while doing that, you change the increments using a gmoccapy hal pin, the movement will stop imminently and the increment will change. I was forced to abort the command on hal, because otherwise the hal setting and the GUI settings could get out of sync.

I pushed the fixes to all branches, if you want to update manually, just replace the gmoccapy.py file.

@Norb

two things:
1) following instructions I installed linuxcnc on Ubuntu 14.04 @32 and wanted to check translation in Serbian. I found ''rs'' and ''sr'' folders in ''local''. The first one is manly used under 12.04, however all translation in 14.04 are in ''sr'' folder, therefore I suggest to keep translation as far as Serbian is concerned in both directories. I am trying to figure out now how to move it from 2.7.2 to 2.7.3

2) I noticed in AXIS while decreasing/increasing Feed Rate slidebar, no other changes are imposed, however, any time I slide the values in GMOCCAPY in FeedRate, decrease/increase of max velocity of the machine is being changed accordingly. I would detach these relation, for a simple reason. The max velocity of the machine should be kept as such to move machine from one to the other location as rapid as possible. However, to be conservative while material is being milled/cut first time, one could reduce FeedRate and slowly increase it until the appropriate feed rate is found for a bit/spindle speed/material that is machined, and max velocity of the machine to be kept as defined in STEPCONF session. Perhaps, somebody else could share his experience as well. If someone wants to reduce intentionally max velocity of the machine for particular machining that is another good option of LinuxCNC, without affecting FeedRate setup.

Thank you,
Dejan

Hey!

I just started using Gmoccapy today. I switched a configuration from axis to this. However I am having a strange issue and I do not encounter this in Axis.

When I enable the machine via releasing the E-Stop software button in Gmoccapy, I get about 5 to 10 pulses to my mechanical relay to activate the machine. In other-words, when hitting the enable button in Gmoccapy I get around 10 pulses of voltage to my enable relay.

In axis I do not have this behavior. Sometimes with this happening the machine will not enable and will error out stating it can not change the e-stop state.

I'm curious as to why?

EDIT: I have checked my E-Stops and they are not the cause. They are external to the controller and I would not have power if they were tripped. Do I need to connect to a pin in Gmoccapy for the estop?

I am running LinuxCNC v2.7.7-18 from buildbot.


Here is my hal file.

And here is my INI

I can not see anything strange in your config, but the behavior you discribed is unusual.

What happen if you use external button?
