A few issues with the qtdragon (Linuxcnc 2.9)

Hello,
I've been away for a few weeks and I just cloned and compiled the latest version of linuxcnc 2.9. Here are a couple of issue that I noticed:
1) Tool window add/delete tool button no longer do anything
2) While I noticed that the probe routine error checking is now implemented, for some probe routines(e.g. ridges and valleys) the error is triggered(according to the debug messages) but it doesn't trigger a UI notification error until you try to run the routine again. For example: starting a ridge probing routing when the first part of the routine and having it fail(e.g. the probe completed reached the max distance without being triggered) just kills the rest of the routine which is great but doesn't produce any UI notifications. When you try and run it again, the error is triggered in the UI at that point. The same is not true for other routines, just reporting what I managed to try so far.

 

Thanks for the report - pushed a fix for the buttons just now.

When the error shows late, does it abort the new routine or is it just the message post late?

Thanks Chris!
Yes, so when it silently fails the first time and you try the same routine button, the message pops up at this time and the routine doesn’t run. So if first press=silent fail->2nd press=error message only, routine does not run->3rd press=restart the routine.

Another issue with basic probing in addition to the error handling behavior:
In edge angle mode: 1) setting edge angle seems to offset the WCS origin to the last point probed regardless of the measurement mode when "set rotation angle" is selected 2)when "set rotation angle" and "auto zero" are selected, the WCS offsets seem to reset to zero.

Also @cmorley, is there a place that I can lookup how the calibration function is supposed to work? I did my best to understand the routines from the prob_routines.py file but I can't figure out

Sorry been very busy at work.
I'll try to find time to actually test the routines on a machine to see what you mean.
Which calibration routines?
