Re: [Machinekit] hb04 Pendant integration

I burned an updated image. Looks like I made some progress. It looks like it found it. I get the following error. Print file information: RUN_IN_PLACE=no LINUXCNC_DIR= LINUXCNC_BIN_DIR=/usr/bin LINUXCNC_TCL_DIR=/usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc LINUXCNC_SCRIPT_DIR= LINUXCNC_RTLIB_DIR=/usr/lib/linuxcnc

Re: [Machinekit] Re: Strange pulse waves on X,Y,Z direction outputs when axis are static

@Jeff Pollard My machine seems to be working fine, I would like to fix the bug because it is making me feel like I need to understand the system more. So I can modify the PID using the stepgen command in the hal config file? Are you saying that the stepgen algorithm is using several

Re: [Machinekit] Re: I'm pulling my hair out over this, "Can't add linear move at line xxxx, error code -7"

Most of the time the error seems random, I can run the same gcode file and sometimes it will complete, other times it will error out. That being said I think I was encountering it pretty reliably last night, let me try and snip down that file to one that consistently errors. On Thursday, May

OK, I'll stick with 3.8. As for the overlays this repo seems to have drop support for 3.8 kernels. There is no tags or branches for older releases. https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays Do someone knows a repo with 3.8 compatible device tree overlay sources? Le mercredi 10 mai 2017

Re: [Machinekit] Re: I'm pulling my hair out over this, "Can't add linear move at line xxxx, error code -7"

What I thought was the fix had already been merged in at least a year ago, so it will take more testing to isolate the cause. Is there a short G code program that can reliably reproduce the issue? On Mon, May 8, 2017, 3:06 AM icecube45 wrote: > @Robert > I was wondering if

Re: [Machinekit] Re: Strange pulse waves on X,Y,Z direction outputs when axis are static

Hi Nick, As the current system stands, if you want to get rid of the hunting on the DIR lines then it seems you need the PID loop. or... If you want to get rid of the necessity to use the PID code, you can modify the PRU code that generates the step pulses. The original EMC

Hello, I am attempting to use a USB hb04 pendant. This is the hard wired USB version 18 keys. I can't find any other model info or part numbers for this unit. I have verified that the pendant is being seen by using the lsusb command and finding the expected id value. To start I am trying

@Alexander Rössler I am new to Machinekit. I don't think I have that Python file. In lib I don't have any python directory. I can't seem to find an fdm directory on my system. I just have a fresh install of this image with no modifications.

[Machinekit] Moving QtQuickVCP buttons/pins to tabs give pin count mismatch error

Hi, I've been building single QtQuickVCP window UI's in the past, and today I try to build some tabs into my UI. I'd like to have a tab with buttons, and a tab with IO's for inspecting HAL pins. So for this I looked into Machineface and I moved my buttons and hal pins to a different file.
