Gmoccapy Bug?

I downloaded the file from github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc now how do I install it?
Sorry I'm still very new to Linux.

Thanks
Orson

build from source

For newbies it is much easier to use buildbot .

I'm using the new Gmoccapy UI with the master release and came across a bug that happens each time.
I start Linuxcnc -> home all -> go to MDI -> if I home again the screen doesn't switch from the jog screen to MDI.
I need to completely restart LinuxCNC to get it working again.

I am not able to reproduce that. If I test with sim, I can home the machine, go to MDI, go back to manual and if I try to home again, I get the message, that the axis is on a limit switch, that is OK, because of simulated home switches.
I can jog all axis to negative values and press home all. All axis get homed and I can switch modes again.

So, what are you doing exactly?
Post the part of homing of you INI.

On my basement mill I can home as much times I like, also no error.

See attachment.
This is a 2.7 config though. Because I just rolled back.

Hallo Timmert,

please change you HOME = 0 to a smal value away from your home switches or give a HOME_OFFset value.
Otherwise your machine may still be on the mome switch after homing, leading to an error if you try to home again.

I use on my mill both (METRIC!!)
HOME = 10
HOME_OFFSET = -0,5
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -25
HOME_LATCH_VEL = 3

What error do you get?

Norbert

Hi Norbert
My home offset is working fine never had problems.
I also don't get any error.

The problem is that after I home the machine I go to the MDI screen.
If I home again I can't switch between jog and MDI screen. I can click MDI, but the screen doesn't switch from the jog mode.
Homing is working fine.

OK,

What release number does the GUI show?
Please start from a terminal and watch for outputs.

I am not able to reproduce that, are you able to make a screen video?
I recommend "RecordMyDesktop" for that purpose.

Norbert

Ok will make a video
