QTDragon MDI jogging strange - diagonals

Hi all

I having some strange behaviour from the QTDragon MDI.

If i start QTDragon, home all axis & then use this sequence of commands I get something strange.

G0 X10
G0 Z100
G0 Y10
G0 Y100

The first commands work normally but when I enter the G0 Y10 the X axis also moves (back to X10). Each time I type a command after that the axis move diagonally.

I have tried the Axis screen & Gmoccapy & they both seem to work as expected.

I am using the latest build bot on Buster 10 - LINUXCNC - 2.10.0-pre0-928-gf1ce19ba4

Is there something I am missing here?
All help appreciated.

Thanks
Alex

Is this using the sim config or a real machine?
My test here on a sim works fine.

Well this is peculiar. I can confirm the same behaviour as the OP describes on both my development version (which is technically a simulation) and the linuxcnc sample config (sim.qtdragon_hd.qtdragon_hd_xyz). However, my real machine, which has the exact same software as my development machine, works perfectly. I also confirmed that mdi_line.py wasn't submitting incorrect data to the ACTION.CALL_MDI command. I'm assuming the reference to Z100 in the OP's post was a typo and should be X100. Either way, it happens with Z moves too.

Yes What you'r saying is correct it should have been an X.

I have tried this on an actual running machine and (after) on the XYZ sim.

I see it now.
i also you can get all three axis to move with:
g0 x something
g0 y something
g0 z something
then g0 any of them all three will move.

but if I jog X axis with the on screen buttons, then I can G0 X anywhere and only X will move.
But if I mdi another axis it will move both again.

I'll give this a try on my machine tomorrow.

I have found the problem line of code.. working on the best solution.

In case your interested:
In mdi_line.py the display is reloaded when MDI commands are run.
During reloading the display, the task_plan_synch() is called, seemingly out of order.
Probably gets called before the MDI finishes, so old positions are used to update.

Ok I pushed a hopeful fix to 2.9 and master.
Please let me know if it fixes things for you.

Hi there

As said in the initial post I'm using buildbot (2.10)
Should I be seeing an update. When I try to do an update it tells me all packages are up to date.

Will this normally come through prity quickly.

Thanks
Alex
