Re: [Emc-developers] time delay hal component for lube pump
Some time ago, I have written a small component which pulses at machine-start if last lubrication was a configurable time away. Next pulse is done if the way the machine has made in sum of moving of the three axis hits a configurable limit (or even if the last lubrication is too long ago again). I guess two little components written in my poor c (one for saving the way-values on exit, the other for calculating/shooting next lubrication by time) the rest (way-calculation) is done in simple HAL. If interested i can search for it. Greets. Am 21.11.2022 um 22:14 schrieb Jon Elson: Hello, all, I need a hal component for a lube pump. What I am looking for is more like a one-shot than the existing timedelay component. timedelay seems to be able to delay the start or the end of a signal, but output will follow the input after the delays occur. I wanted a component that would trigger for a set time after a trigger (or LinuxCNC starting) and then, I could or it with the spindle enables. This would ensure the lube pump starts immediately when LCNC starts, and then run whenever the spindle is on. Anybody know a better way to do this?

Re: [Emc-developers] Manual skip function
Hi, in 2.9 there are some bugs in probing, since the behaviour changed to trip errors when probe turns on by moving out of G38.x commands. See here, i think its unresolved: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/42321-new-component-probefilter-to-handle-probe-tripped-errors I´ve written a small component "probefilter" to get dev-version running with probing/contacting. (Its very alpha state, but works stable for me). Maybe you can get some basic ideas for your own component or enhance my component. https://github.com/freisei/probefilter/blob/main/probefilter.comp Greets from Bavaria. Am 13.08.2021 um 18:32 schrieb Feral Engineer: Here's one for you guys... I think it's petty cool. Fanuc and mits offer an option called manual skip. We use it on our machines for something called w setter and t setter. W setter let's you call up the work offset page, manually jog into your workpiece and depending on selected function, will capture a single point, 2 point center, 3 point center or angular skew. This is all done by contacting and retracting the probe from the workpiece with the mpg. T setter works the same way with setting tools. It's a really handy function for setting up jobs. I know that lcnc has an alarm that pops up if you contact your probe in a manual move, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make manual skip a thing. Maybe a custom component or possibly a change in source code, if I knew, I'd be working on developing it by now... I'm trying, though. I'm just getting into creating object classes in c++ 若 Any ideas of how to implement such a thing? Basically just need a check box option to have g38.2 active in manual mode and know which direction is being moved (x y z). Phil T.

[Emc-developers] Realtime-components for named/numbered parameters in G-Code (from Re: Question for the devs)
Just an idea for a more flexible extension. [SomwareInTheINI] [RS274NGC] USER_PARAM_5021 = name_of_realtime_component name_of_realtime_component has to calculate that value, and then its avaiable in as #5021 in the interpreter. I don´t know for sure if every value for abs position is avaiable in the RT-Components. But i think would be a great way to add more of such values in a flexible way without changes in source-code. Just like HAL-RT-componets. With such a solution some of my huge/complicated macros would be very much handier. Additionally it would be possible to get better debugging by writing out some values into HAL and monitor them with halscope for example. And, by this way it would be possible to write out values to hal in a easier way. (Do i correctly remember its not possible by default and we have to use M-Codes?) Don´t know anything about how much code must be changed in the "untouchable interpreter code" and about side effects, but as more as i think about this extension as more ideas i get how many things could be made easier with that.

I write logic in Fanuc, Mitsubishi and Siemens controls constantly and see a lot of missing features in the o code stuff that I would be more than happy to address myself if I could ever get to that level in CPP. Not sure how familiar you all are with the aforementioned controls, but I'd be happy to provide manuals for the logic sections of all 3 so you could see what each one is about. Fanuc and Mits are like 99% identical, but Siemens is completely different and way more powerful. Some examples would be that control has both WHILE and FOR loops, 3 dimensional data arrays, unlimited nonvolatile variable assignment via GUD tables and four different methods of GOTO. Phil T.

Re: [Emc-developers] Question for the devs
I do same thing with an workaround: Set G59.2 with offset 0/0/0. Then you can access the G59.2 values which are in fact machine coordinates. Of course you loose one coodinate-system. My usage is to calculate the maximum way to drive for G38.2/4 moves where a fixed value is a bad idea if you are near to end of a axis. Greets, Freisei Am 26.07.2021 um 19:31 schrieb Feral Engineer: That's not what I'm looking for. I can position with G53, but I want to read that G53 position into a variable. On fanuc and mits controls, machine position for X is #5021 and absolute position for X from current offset is #5041, much like how skip position is #5061. When you're writing macro programs for things, sometimes you want to do calculations from current abs position and relate it back to machine coordinate. Only way I can do it currently is store the values i want in an ini (tool setter position, etc) and access it that way, which is fine for static values, but sometimes you want to capture a current machine position in real time for the macro calculations. An example would be setting a work offset: G10 L2 P1 X#5021 Y#5022 Phil T.

In Fanuc land, #5021 is the X axis system variable for machine home position (axis 1, really), 5022 is axis 2, etc. Linuxcnc does not have these variables. I'm wondering how hard it would be to add them? Having access to the machine coordinate system is helpful in writing logic for various things (as is goto, but I'm not pressing my luck). Unless there's an alternate variable I could use, like #<_axis_1_mach_pos> something like that? Also, not sure how familiar you guys are with G65 and G66 macro calls.
