Never noticed the monitor port. I have my controller permanently mounted on a 26x26x12" NEMA 3 enclosure with a clear plastic insert in door to see display. I haven't seen the back of the controller in 2 years The monitor use without the networking must be very useful. I gotta say, the hardware for ...

So how does the video work in that direct interface method? Where would you hook a video display?

Yeah it's before it's homed. Trying to move the carriage to a closer location so it home is faster there seems to be an awful lot of either delay or stored integration of the input signal from The controller joystick and so continues moving quite a ways when you let go of the joystick.

I don't get any output with the following: (Using version xx.xx.11 firmware, 2 versions back) #4999 = 987654321 (debug, The value of <_x_homed> is #<_x_homed> and the value of var 4999 = #4999) M0 I did read this in linuxcnc manual: "5599 - Flag for controlling the output of (DEBUG,) statements. 1=o...

Running firmware: v0.4.11 In the attached pgm, in the subroutine starting at line 215, I get both msgs inside if the o302 if else endif structure in one pass, i.e., it's ignoring the else and falling through. now as I write this this seems to ring a bell as maybe a bug report I submitted earlier for...

I completely forgot about debug. I'm pretty sure that messages don't print out the value that is print out the characters that you typed I either name of the variable not the value. But I'll try debugging next time I'm there. If I could just set up a VPN to my brother's Network for his cabinet shop ...

I seem to remember that the joystick will go past the end steps. Maybe this is before it's been 0 to start up maybe not

I live a long ways from the machine I'm programming for, so I can't test things out quickly and easily. Is it possible to write messages that will display parameters on the screen of the buildbotics controller? I am building some radiases and other cuts that I want to plot by hand before I run it an...
