Probe_Basic Bugs?

Hello i´m using the actually Probe_basic stable apt install and i have some questions....

i find a bug in the probe_basic axis view on the mainsite...

i´m using XYZB Axis but probe basic shows me XYZA

when i put on another axis like this XYZBW then probe_basic shows me XYZAB

the same on the single axis ref button i´m using a XYYZB Machine but...
X ref is ref my X Axis -> OK
Y ref is ref my Y Axis -> OK
Z ref is ref my Y Axis -> Fail
A ref and b ref i don´t know i have to try it...

the plot doesn´t show me the 4th Axis gcode...
when i turn my B Axis the plot turn the mill around my Y axis that´s ok. but when i load a 4th axis gcode the plot shows me only a 3axis gcode only the milling tool is rotating around the y axis

Hmmm, sounds like a joint numbering issue and PB UI load issue, I will need to sit down and ponder this, covering all of the various configurations is a bit tough, need to find a better method I think. Maybe have the axis drop box be a user definable box.. not sure though, will take some figuring to find a solution I think. In the interim you may need to customize your UI. Any fixes for this will be have to come in the develop version and will be a bit away, I'm a bit slammed at work right now. I will update here as I find a good solution.

In an older Probe_Basic version I adjusted the interface so that everything worked.

However, I don't know how to edit the interface in the stable version. I'll probably have to install the developer version again, which I don't necessarily want to do since the machine is currently in use.

However, I still have the question of why the 4th axis plot doesn't work, which used to work in the older version... my configuration has remained the same.

vtk which is the back plotter is undergoing extensive reconfiguring, so the latest stable had some issues in it that went unnoticed in certain areas. many things have been corrected in the develop version but a few still need to be sorted. one of the things was how the plotter draws and follows the program tool paths. hopefully this will be pushed and released very soon as i think most of it has been corrected but there are still a few bugs to sort out and testing is difficult without multiaxis cam available

ok thanks and how can i configure my axis display without dev install?
you can run fusion 360 for a 4th axis part....
always you have to do ist configure a 2D adaptive clearing and sort it in a round pattern...finish now you have a indexed 4th axis part

here is a 4th axis gcode:
 
 

To display the axis configuration add a entry in the ini under display section. There are currently the following preconfigured screen adaptations: 
xyz
xyza
xyzab
xyzac

GEOMETRY = (enter one of the above here)

For example the probe basic sim has the following:

GEOMETRY = xyzac

 

If you configuration isnt on that list you would need to do dev install and edit/add a a tab with the appropriate display for your machine.

I have a XYZB Machine...

yes there is not currently a preconfigured display option setup for xyzb.


however, you could run:

sudo editvcp probe_basic in terminal and make any edits on the apt installed version. if you are on the stable branch the changes will remain, if you are on the develop branch any changes will be overwritten when updates are pushed and you you subsequently run apt update.

for the issue with second y and z axis being mixed up, this is because the ini axis numbering is off when it adds in the second y axis as axis 2, to fix this, also change the axis number in the properties editor. in your situation it should be set as follows to account for your second Y axis motor:

axisNumber 0 = X
axisNumber 1 = Y
axisNumber 2 = Y2
axisNumber 3 = Z
axisNumber 4 = B

like this below in the images:

   

   

   

   

   

   

today i have tried... but it dont work... Ref Z will ref my y Axis and REF B will ref my Z Axis... DRO are right but the ref buttons won´t work... when i ref all axis manual (not with ref all) i´ve become an error too when i try to move a axis... the error is joint -1 must be homed but i don´t have joint -1
