New Problem

I've waited a bit over a week but haven't heard any discussion about these problems. I recently updated my EO branch and things haven't been going smoothly. Please look at the state of the commits I have installed:
Every time I start LinuxCNC I get the following message box popup:


Then on top of all this when I look in the terminal that I started LinuxCNC from it is flooded with these measages;
This is the last little bit, after the upgrade I am getting this message in the terminal when I am setting up my work piece ( I haven't changed what I do and never had these errors before):
I do have my system running after chasing down all the new spindle names in my pendant hal files and fixing them.

Will all this be fixed with the next update? When will pull request #509 or apparently renumbered to #512 be included in an update?

Have you tried letting the conversion script run on your configuration files?

Can you zip up your config file and email it to me so that I can try to work out why the conversion script isn't "taking"?

What the script is trying to do is convert the spindle pin names for you.

But if it runs every time, something is wrong.

Code:

Before: spindle 0 speed 0.000000 Before: spindle 1 speed 0.000000 Before: spindle 2 speed 0.000000 After: spindle 0 speed 100.000000 After: spindle 1 speed 0.000000 After: spindle 2 speed 0.000000

Oops, that's something I left in by mistake. I will fix it.

Hmm, islander261 has always been using master branch so for the conversion script window to trigger indicates there is something wrong with the logic in deciding if it should be displayed as he's never used Version 2.7.

I believe that when the multi spindle feature was recently merged into master the upgrade script was changed and version incremented so that old configs (including JA Master ones) could be updated for the new changes.

Yes, the script is fixing the spindle section but its message still suggests its changing to joints/axis even if just upgrading 2.8

The message is the same regardless.
I didn't see a great deal of point in making a new message for the relatively small number of people who are on V1.0 and need to upgrade to v1.1

Guys,

Thank you for the replies.

I have been running 2.8.1-Pre since I started with LinuxCNC (needed JA for gantry mechanics).

I ran the offered upgrade script once the first time I started after the upgrade. It didn't get all the name changes correct in my hal files but a bit of chasing down error messages on startup (in the starting terminal) along with finding changed manual entries got me going in about an hour. If I run the upgrade script again now it posts a message box saying that my configuration is up to date and exits without changing anything.

Thank you for posting the instructions and files for implementing pull request #509 and #512 in the other thread. I will try and patch my system today when I go out to the shop. Because I have to prepare and go to the mainland for our first holiday sale of the season tomorrow I will not be able to do live cutting tests until the beginning of the week.

Please find attached the .zip file of my configuration. I am using the no_eo_cleanup1.ini file for my present working configuration.
