I want to make sure I understand. Your 4th axis prox and probe are working fine before the patch is applied? I will get it fixed asap, I haven't heard of this being an issue. Not that I haven't had...
Here is a link to the patch for PPv2.5.2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SwWZdikMKTG4jEdEqwb8an74LDlZIswC/view?usp=sharing
I apologize, I have been lousy at posting patches to the website. I will work to get better at that. I am patching up to the latest v2.5.2, please e-mail me again at [email protected] and...
Yep, it doesn't take too much to run Ninjapendant. Most patches "slide-in" for several version updates unless they have done some big changes in certain places. Most times you just re-run the...
I really like this solution and it seems straightforward. Being a robot application, I just worry about e-stops and restarts and where the program leaves off. My mind goes to a constant feedback...
Hey I apologize I missed your message. I really like PCW_MESA's idea and would like to learn more about Linuxcnc in this regard. If I had to do this today, I would run a python script in the...
I was in the same boat as you and ended up developing my own solution. I gave Tormach one of my pendants at IMTS a couple weeks ago while I checked out their new "controller" on the M series. Their...
Completely missed this. I've been slowly releasing these to users (mainly on facebook) over the last couple months. I am still making them, although taking longer than I would like, but all in all...
Yep still traction, PP2.0 through me for a loop, but its turned out better because of it. A few folks have them and I have been tweaking them in based off their input.
Thanks,
Pete
Sure hope we aren't gettin' excited over a 50lb machine lol. Maybe it would come with backpack straps.
What else is interesting is the PCNC50 only has a 7i92 configuration that I can see...
My controller is pushin' 5 years old. It came with a network card, which I am using for my Windows/Pathpilot UI app. I know its radical, but my guess is they are exploring more into this. Even it...
I'll get ya going...
Yea, but I haven't been happy with the integration, and nervous about the obsolescence with future PP versions. To be honest, I have been chipping away nightly on my Windows/Linuxcnc hybrid. Its...
Yea! Ill get it going, I missed the update. Thanks for the heads up!
Pete
Also keep in mind, linuxcnc loads a program first, and then you instruct it to start running the loaded program. From there you can do a variety of tasks in the background, while it is...
Yea, I started with UDP and as of yet, I don't see a need to go anywhere else. My ping is way under a ms (like .230ms I think?) and I wouldn't know it, but I don't appear to be missing any data on...
Well, let me me take that back. The controller can detect when its lost connection to the client, so yea, you lose connection the server stops the machine. I can add that in pretty quick. As far...
Yea, running the machine from a remote PC is a concern of mine as well. I am currently digging into it, and I am thinking there is enough isolation between linuxcnc and the client that even if...
this is the link to the "Remote API" https://pmcoltrane.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/remote-access-to-thinc-api-part-iii/
the tldr is
"This system potentially expands the THINC ecosystem beyond...
I agree, in my opinion keep them separate. My understanding, all that is needed is a "Remote API" that can bridge the gap from whatever OS, whether that be Ethernet / Bluetooth / USB-Serial. That...
Have you tried bouncing back to v1.9.10 to see if you get the same issue? That may pinpoint if its a gpl thing or the actual "encrypted" tarball package.
Thanks Jim, lets try this again lol. Please work please work please work...
-Yes all in one. Mainly for changes to CAM after I've started the part, but yes it would be nice to program while...
Lol, well that worked like I thought it would, so what does this multi-quote button do?
I am not sure if I am doing this multi-quote thing right... never done it.
Yes! The tact feedback would be incredible. My thinking was capturing spindle load, and using that to determine handwheel resistance. The more spindle load, the harder it is to turn the...
There would be two separate computers, probably like you already have now. So one to run linuxcnc, with a Mesa just like the $700? PP controller , which would handle stepper timing. It also allows...
Branching this off with a new thread from a conversation with kstrauss. I have been working on creating a variant of Pathpilot (or linuxcnc) inside the Windows environment, still using a Linuxcnc...
Yes, I am. And I will not discuss until they do. In regards to ninjaKnobs, it still works... its just sluggish, and I will come up with the solution.
I know you enjoy development, and you may...
