Probe Screen ?

Hi,
is anyone using the probe screen by the russian guy, 'verser' with gmocappy? All working? Any problems? It seems to have stopped working with latest linuxcnc version, I think it might be a glade problem but I have no experience with this really...

cheers, john

Hi John, I have checked the probe cylinder this morning, all ok.
I am using gmoccappy 1.5.8 debian 7.11 linuxcnc 2.7.11
I hop this helps

Hi Chris,
I am using linuxcnc current master 2.8. All was working fine with 2.7.11
After upgrade it does not work any more.

many thanks,
john

Hi John, I don’t use 2.8 so I cannot assist you as to why this is not working. I only have a production machine so I cannot risk using 2.8 at the moment. The only suggestion I have is to search for
“how to downgrade from 2.8.0 to 2.7.x? “ In this forum. Unless anyone else is using 2.8 with the probe screen.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Give me a view days, i will check on this with gmoccapy, even if it seems not to work with axis eather.
Unfortunately i have no probe, so my test may be limited, or do someone like to sponsor some hardware ? ☺

May be I even rewrite the code, as i saw potential to optimize.

I will test with the latest master and report.

P.S. does anyone know, if the icons are open source?

Hi Norbert,
there may be a spare probe sitting around gathering dust. Ask Rene-dev
This evening there was some small action on irc. I think maybe a bug was found in probe_screen.py, line 413, def gcode is wher the problem appears to be coming from, user 'hazzy' knows more and is trying to fix this now..

cheers,
John (aus Münster) lol..

I just tested with brand new master and gmoccapy 2.3.3 and it does work with gmoccapy!!

Find attached my config directory for simulated application.

To test set:


and push the probe button while the vel changed to 150 and a second time the vel changed to 10.
(Just push, do not hold down, as this is a mometary switch to simulate probe contact.

Would you be willing to do a brief writeup of specifically how to install probe under gmocapy.

One thread above I added my sim config, just take that one as example.
