Dear Everyone, 

we did some time ago a linux CNC retrofit with mesa board. We got mostly everything to work, probing and multi height sensor does not and I have to say i would love to get into it and spend the time to get QT dragon to work properly, but the time is becoming crucial and the machine should be running. 
Hence I would like to ask, if there is someone who would be able to either come hands-hand for a 1-2 days and or work remotely with us. Paid of course. 

It is a 1200x1000mm 3axis cnc german spindle, chineese base, completely new electronics from us with Mesa ethernet board. 
I have an xyz probe and tool length measure. 

I would prefer a european source just for the time difference but since it is rather urgent and we seem to be quite stuck in the process, i would take any help we can get. 

Any tip is more then welcome. 
(i will search the forum for the Tods and Davids of course, i saw many many cnc advice online and will try to reach out as well. )

Moved to "user exchange".

I am in Europe and i can speak German, but i am of no use for probing, i still did not build a proper mill. I can figure out everything for sure, but the time it would take is probably much longer than someone with experience.
Also, i never charge for helping here or whatever is initiated from here.

Hey Tommy.. thanks for the offer. I am really looking for someone who is willing to take the deep dive ;). The language is not the issue, the physical locale rather. I was thinking maybe its good if the one could come over.

darm, the mods have moved the topic to the dark corner of the forum ...  
Just kidding. @tommylight, would you be open for a call? 

I am diving int the cnc setup again and need to fix the processes. I am getting errors constantly wheras it should be a normal operation. 
I will post a detailled process question later today

I did that as noted above:

Moved to "user exchange".

If you think it would help, i can move it to QtVCP section, but we tend to keep anything involving payment here.

Sorry my edit was left in draft mode and did not got posted.

No no actually its good. I think I am looking into two avenues. Either i fix it myself but completely redo the setup or i find help and am happy, very happy, to provide some financing for next cnc project to someone. I need the machine basically and the bodged retrofit or rather not completed retrofit is killing hours.

If you or anyone would be open to jump on a video call or something. I think most of you here would probably spot the issue instantly.

I am not much help with probing nor QtDragon, for the rest probably yes.
As for video call, yes of course, now is OK for me as i am going in the shop, i have whatssapp only, but there are some general rules to follow:
-if something is unclear, ask again and again, there are always more than one way to describe something
-when using chat, read all the replies, not just the last one, so scroll before asking or doing anything
-follow instructions strictly
---Number delted---
will be available for the next hour, after that leave a message and i will get back, as i do not keep that phone with me all the time.
-
Will delete the number after confirmation you got it.
And you owe me a coffee whenever i come to Germany!

I would make this a private message if I could but I couldn't find how to.

I previously answered but my account was banned, possibly because I mentioned a non-linuxcnc project I'm the creator of, so after being unbanned (thanks), I won't mention it again.

So I'll keep it brief, I'll say is I'm interested in helping, and my email is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Cheers.

I'm in France, right next door, I believe this said « German / European ».

Ok yes, it's right there in the title, glad I didn't imagine it.
