Re: [Emc-users] Axis not updating if linuxcncrsh opens file
Christopher Purcell christopherpurcell@... writes: In recent tests, I connect to a running LinuxCNC 2.5.3 process (Axis 2.5.3 gui) with linuxcncrsh and nc. If I open an ngc file using linuxcncrsh commands like: ... set mode auto set open file.ngc ... then the running Axis process shows that a new file has been loaded by a change in its banner, but the tool path plot does not update, nor does the displayed g-code. If you then Run the gcode in Axis, the path (corresponding to the new file) will be drawn superimposed on the previous file's plot. The Axis code display toggles ahead through the previous code while the live plot is doing something different. So its a mess. Axis is somewhat aware of the new open file, but is not initializing as it does, when a file is loaded using its own File Open button. This is no big deal, but I guess I am posting this in case the highly paid Axis team are sitting around drinking coffee and wondering what to work on next. Why you ask, well I am testing having Mathematica talk to linuxcncrsh - with Axis running on the remote operator workstation, and Mathematica acting as some sort of supreme being (generating the GCode and watching the build, but leaving the real time stuff to LinuxCNC). Retired people have far too much time on their hands... PS: three of my posts to the list have vanished without a trace in the last week, so am crossing my fingers that this gets through.

(6mm end mills, 12.7mm depth) Is it possible that the stop program execution causes loss of position? What I'm doing is, when the end mill is close to a point where not much milling is being done, I: - stop the program; - change end mills; - zero the Z axis based on this end mill; - edit the program so that the tool will start off where I want it; - and, go. I know that there's probably a better way of pausing program operation to do a tool change and Z axis touch off, but I can't think that to do at the moment.

If you have to do that before using Win32DiskImage then it is NOT doing the same job dd can do. When dd is used, it writes raw, filesystem and all. Yes, but Windows is strange when dealing with things like SD cards and USB storage. It is impossible (with the usual Windows tools) to format and partition these devices, AFAIK. Back around the start of USB mass storage I sometimes needed to do things like change the partition table from a HDD version (four physical partition entries) to a floppy-disk partition table (one physical partition) or vice versa in order to get the hardware to boot, recognize a BIOS update, etc. It was impossible to do this on Windows, but just a few quick commands in Linux. :) T H X In deed windows 7 64 Ult sometimes plays strange. After non succesfull writing it ask to format the sd Did it with FAT32 and also defined blocksize standard and using device defaults After that win32diskimage worked like a charm !!! And my bbb starts machinekit as it did before. Super Now i can try to get my chalk-board 'brick' to work. Anyhow i can in paralell use ssh to see linuxcnc via remote and give my bunch of hw something to do. Have quite some stepper drivers, level shifter etc waiting for that moment. My dream is still to get that 10 touch running with 4 joints and 2 pwm heating loops running. I love lcnc axis.

No, i used the 'ready img' version, as i had problems to run sh-setup in angstrom. Will retry as you propose below. Make sure you're starting with: http://www.machinekit.net/deb/rootfs/wheezy/debian-7.3-machinekit-armhf- 2013-12-28.4gb.img.xz which should uncompress into a 4 Gig image file. That is what i did, and yes got after decompress, 7zip, a 4 Gig file. You directly write the 4G file onto an SD card byte-for-byte with your preferred imaging tool (ie: dd, or I suppose Win32diskimager or similar). That's the moment where my win32diskimaging fails. I'm also not familiar with Windows disk imaging tools, but it's possible your tool doesn't like the main Linux partition because it's formatted with ext4. If so, try to find something that just writes the bytes onto the SD card and doesn't try to understand the image. Yes, i also have now ext4 under suspect. Will try to solve that. Keep you up to date. Only the decompression utility should be able to complain about crc errors. The disk imaging tool has no way of checking the image itself for errors, so if it's reporting problems it's either an issue with the SD card or the imaging tool isn't treating the 4G file like a raw image. P.S. In case of emergency, ;-) , i can try to use my old ubuntu of my productive lcnc to write that sd card. But i donot like hacking in the basement.
