Hi

After thumbling around with LInuxcnc/Gmocappy I finally got the program to work with my CNC. I'm still having som smaller, but importent, issues that are killing me.....

I'm trying to set Gmocappy up , to use the tool sensor-probe. I've been following the tutorial: Gmocappy documentation point by point and the Youtube-videos, without any luck

I can't find a small program to test the setup. The once in the sample dir does not use the probe......

I'm Newbe in Linux, LinuxCNC ...and G-codes :woohoo: - so it is a high mountain to climb :silly:

Is there a kind soul, that will take a look into my attached files and try to guide me the laste steps....

Sincerly
Steen

i'm looking into this at the moment for my own use

i presume the file change.ngc is the sequence you want
are you changing tools manually or using a ATC ?

what type of probe are you using ?
and i presume you have the probe signal switching ok , as your input

if you care to let me know what other problems your having , we will see how we can help guide you through

Hi cncbasher

Thanks for your help. Some of the files is a "left-over" from other attempt to get it working.
The .ini and .hal changes are all based on the description at Gmocappy

I change the tools manually. The probe is a button-type from: GoCNC.de

The probe is tested and Gmocappy gets the signal on pin 13 - checked ok...

My problem is to figure out some kind off test to check the tool-changing process is functioning - some kind of a simple G-kode with 1 or toolchanges....
I've tried some of the samples, but they don't work.... I don't know if it is because the toolchange is not implemented or the tool-change is not working.

I've cleaned up the files, deleted the files from older attempts...

I hope this is more detailed around the problems I have - sorry for my english. It is not my prior language...

thanks for the update , and for cleaning the files it all helps ...
most of what you need to debug is already their in the form of halshow .

let me get it all working here first
i hope to look at some of this today , although it may take a few days

Hi CNCbasher

Have you got time to look into my problem ?

It's some days since I've heard from you...

you have not connected the gmoccapy toolchange pins.
I have not seen the connection of the probe

Please test with the file gmoccapy_2_tools_with_cutter_radius_compensation.ngc located in the examples folder.

Hi
Newbynobi

It's connected to pin 13, but I'm not sure how to set it up in the .hal-file.

The documentation looks like:

net probe motion.probe-input <= parport.0.pin-15-in

Do I just have to change it to :

net probe motion.probe-input <= parport.0.pin-13-in ??

Yes, you have to connect the pin like you mentioned, and get the manuell tool stuff out of the hal and connect the gmoccapy hal pin like mentioned in the doku!
