Tool probe screen not working was created by frayja2002
Hi all
I am running QTDragon on the latest buildbot ( LINUXCNC - 2.10.0-pre0-2975-g66f488515f ) & my toll touch plate (probe ) screen has stopped working.
This was previously working flawlessly & as far as I can tell noting has changed.
I load a tool & click on the probe button, the dialogue comes up & I click yes to probe but there is no motion from any of the axis.
There is also no error message that I can find & the probe light (& input ) toggle correctly.
Attached is a screen shot of the status screen & also the pertinent config files.
Does anyone have any idea why this is not working now & how do I go about trouble shooting this.
Thanks
Alex

I think this is a case of different paths when using RIP vrs installed versions.
Probing works for me in my RIP dev version.
If you can try changing qt_pstat.py, aprox line 66
to:
I bet that would fix it.

Yes That fixed the problem.
Thanks
Slightly off topic but related...
A little while ago you helped me set it up so that when I press the pause button the spindle head raises out of the job.
This is working really well & is the reason I am using 2.10.
I have vowed that one day I will stop being a pioneer....
Is there a way that I can get this to work on the more stable 2.9
Thanks again
Alex

spindle raise should work on 2.9. unless there was something special you needed?

I did try it at one point & couldn't get it to work.
I may try to format the computer & try again on the weekend (time permitting)
Thanks for your help as it really saves burning the work piece when you hit pause.

I suggest getting a second harddrive so you can keep your existing system, unless you already have a second computer to test with.

hi there
I have another computer running LINUXCNC - 2.9.0~pre1+git20230208.f1270d6ed7 now connected to the same hardware. The exact same config files but when I go to start it I get....
custom_postgui.hal:6: Pin 'qtdragon.external-eoffset-state' does not exist
If i comment this out I get ...
custom_postgui.hal:13: Pin 'qtdragon.eoffset-spindle-count' does not exist
I'm not sure what these lines actually do & weather I need them but looking back at the previous thread....
forum.linuxcnc.org/qtvcp/49921-qtdragon-...-run?start=10#280421
I think I need them.
Can you please advise me on this.
Thanks
Alex
