Hello,

I am working on new builtin-panel for Gmoccapy. It is for Mesa users. This screen allows the user to verify whether they have a suitable and well-tuned PC for their Mesa card. It will help me when I have to debug the machine with someone over the phone again.

This screen is based on the part of MesaCT configurator program.









I need help with the license. MesaCT is MIT licensed. So I can use it. This built panel will be licensed the same as LCNC. I want to be the author because I spent a lot of time on it. I'm converting it from QT technology to GTK technology. On the other hand, I'm taking most of the ideas that jethornton created. I don't want to be considered a know-how thief. I'm only interested in the header file. Here's what I made a suggestion:

Theoretically, there could be a situation where someone else wants to reuse or relicense this Build panel. I don't want my nickname or name jethornton to be lost. How are these situations handled?
 

Yes, I tried it and reported the result—it doesn't help.

Hello Aciera, I don't know if you've taken a look at my homing.c modifications. If you could give me some ideas, especially regarding states 8 and 9, when I stop near the home switch as I explained in my previous post, a homing abort occurs. The quick solution I thought of was to continue with the fine-tuning. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

The z-axis is supposed to be still usable, because it is heavy. 
 

Mentioned in first post but will add here, in case it catches anyone's attention.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to have files with a .NC extension show in the open file dialog box without have to keep selecting the All Files drop down?
Not exactly a big issue but seems like there should a setting be somewhere I can't find.
Thanks

But If I don't select "7i76 Modus 2 I/O card" my settings are lost after closing and reloading Pncconf. 
Do I have to select Modus 2 anyway even If I change locale to UTF-8 EN_US ?

ok, after searching for the missing tab i found this post  
After enabling the option „Show advanced config pages“ I could modify the value "0: 7i76 Modus I/O Kart..". After modification the tab 7i76 I/O (SS#0) is available, now. 

I don't have the tab with "7i76 I/O,

 

Why not just close linuxcnc when you want to do manual machining?

I appreciate the time you spent to reply. You provide very good insight that made this work.
What I did was to put 4 in the axis scale and then I put 2500 in the encoder scale. For what I understood from your reply, Linuxcnc takes the 2500 counts and moltiply them by 4 (quadrature) then it divides it by the axis scale (4 again in this case). It was a bit confusing when reading the Mesact manual. I think that manual needs to be revised to explain this better for novice like me.

I tested this by changing a leadscrew with a 5mm pitch one. I had to place 5 in the axis scale and 2000 (2500 x 4 / 5) in the encoder scale. this worked also. I think this is such an important detail that should not be missed when setting up servos. So thank you all.

I was able to achieve a reasonable tuning as well following the servo tuning advice in this forum. I might have to tweak some small Ferror deviation at the very beginning and very end of the move. Lots to learn.
