Spindle Inhibit while Probing.....

thanks. I'll watch and see when it gets pushed to the master .deb
then give it a try.
it would be best if it could be consistent in all qtdragons.
and of course, included in the documentation.

Chris. did you push the changes to master?
if yes, then it's probably already in Seb's .debs
what is the line in the .pref file for the probe number??

how about something like   ps_probe_tool = xxx

Yes, Pushed.

Looks like I made a spelling mistake, so it's under a different heading (missing hyphen).

[VERSA_PROBE OPTIONS]
ps_probe_tool = 0

I'll fix that soon.

Chris,
it's there.   I built from latest source on 7/19.
just ran the qtdragon_xyz sim.   changed the probe to versa_probe in the .ini
below is an image of the .pref file.
Interesting it has both the misspell and the correct spell.
I added a tool 99 and a tool 98.  and set the
I manually changed tool with the M61Qn button twice.  once for each tool, 98 and 99.
Did a manual spindle forward and it appeared to spin.  At least no notice or warning and it

so, checked a bunch more through hal_show..   it's using the correct spelled pref section name probe number...good.

when are the qtversaprobe hal pins formed??? 
seems to have other issues.   see the last image of the hal_show.... 

 
 
 


 

I see it. copy paste error - should be a bit pin- I pushed the fix.
The preference file doesn't erase unused entries. You can erase the [VERSA-PROBE OPTIONS] header and the single entry when qtdragon is not loaded.

Chris

Chris,
still not working.......fixing typos is good, but what about the logic ????
see both images.
also, If i add   qtversaprobe.probe-loaded   to a .hal file loaded through the .ini, qtdragon fails to start with './spin.hal:2: Pin 'qtversaprobe.probe-loaded' does not exist'  error.

so, how, exactly, should this be coded in .hal ???  and how loaded ???

I do appreciate your efforts.
note:  after your change, I do a git pull, and a complete rebuild and install
