Plasmac upgrade woes was created by rodw
I knew this would happen so I have been putting it off for a long time. Compiled the latest 2.8 branch as run in place and its made a bit of a mess of my config so I'm not operational.
I cleaned up most of the errors but am stuck here
See dump of terminal window.
Warning: Spoiler!



I saw there were missing handlers so I tried to use the configurator to upgrade the ini file and it said
plasma@plasma ~/Installation/rods-linux-dev $ python /home/plasma/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine/plasmac/configurator.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/plasma/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine/plasmac/configurator.py", line 581, in on_create_clicked
    if self.versionCurrent > 0:
AttributeError: configurator instance has no attribute 'versionCurrent'

So at this point I guess I need to know what Plasmac is looking for ini my in file and regroup in the morning.

Looks like plasmac-wizards is called more than once in the ini file.

It is EMBEDDED_TAB in the [DISPLAY] section

EDIT: If you want to post your config I can have a look through in the morning.

That was not it. This is the main error section, not to mention the configurator error
gladevcp: trouble looking for handlers in 'plasmac_config': Can't set value: pin / param ini.z.max_limit not found

You don't really want to wade through my config but here it is (I think!)

Yes, the coordinates have been fine but all of a sudden, it seems like somebody has decided a different structure is required and axes need to be in sequential X,Y,Z order. That was never a requirement and basically breaks the independent joint paradigm. Most annoying when its been happy like that for 5 years... I started on 2.8...

I need the complete config directory, including sub-directories.

I decided I would revise my joint order into line with normality so I am in the process of finishing that off by building a new config as its been a bit messy with all the hacking I've done over the years. This required a bit of rewiring, creating a really basic config using pncconf and a lot of hacking in the hal and ini files. I have movement, but I forgot I needed to swap all the limit switches around. Did you know you can get three axes moving while homing a single axis if you scatter home and limit switches around? Talk about being confused. Took me ages to sort it out but thats a job for tomorrow.

Sounds like a barrel of fun. You'll definitely need a beer or three after that.
