Hello. I need a breakout board for a Chinese circuit board (Mach3 interface board) 5Axis Breakout Board.

With function mdi and command M66E0L0 the button is disabled while running a program and that doesn't affect its initial functionality. But still hoping there is another way to do that.

By error I mean:

What does LinuxCNC report?

Can you post the complete hal file?

I meant it as an error — I’m not sure how to configure it, what I’m doing wrong, and why the AXIS_A code is written incorrectly. please

Axis works fine, QT dragon also works fine. Its just Probe Basic

2.9.4

I am looking at disable a pushbutton during program runtime. No idea how to do. It is connected to python module, and should not
be enabled during runtime. Is there a setting, it gets greyed out, eg. like mdi-button?

What version of linuxcnc are you using?

There is a version of nativecam in a linuxcnc branch that mostly works.
It's a work in very slow progress. It's based on Qt.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/qt_ncam

There is also another project I've seem on the forum that keeps it gtk based and just updates it to python3 and whatever pygtk is called now.

But I would suggest you just finish what you have built, as it seems you are pretty far along.
You could always convert it to another platform later.

Thanks guys.
I did do:
apt-get update
before I started. 

I just ran it update again to check, and the distro is wheezy. 

I watched Rods video, but don't want to update to LCNC 2.8 or above as I have had a working system, and don't have the time to play around getting it configured again for the joints change, mesa card latency etc.
Cheers,
Mark
 

Mr.Rodw big fan of your work! I wouldnt disagree with that however if there is solution to continue to use ER16 tooling (I should have mentioned that in the og post) then I would rather do that then invest in a TTS spindle and TTS collets. I know there is a solution to this

What is the actual error?

NativeCAM is an interesting project, but it has a fundamental issue today:the codebase is very old (Python 2, GTK2/PyGTK) and has not been actively maintained for quite some time. I have taken a closer look at the project locally and am currently trying to get it running on a modern system (Debian 13, Python 3, LinuxCNC 2.10). At the moment it already fails at the basic dependency level, since Python 2 and PyGTK are essentially unavailable on current distributions. Before discussing any functional extensions, a significant porting effort is required (Python 3, GTK3/gi).Only if NativeCAM can be made stable on a modern system does it make sense to consider whether and how the lathe functionality could be extended or reimplemented. For now, my focus is not on new features, but solely on determining whether the project is still technically viable as a future foundation.
