If i set the speed first in MDI etc it is OK

Normal machine happens if you just enable the machine then trying to run spindle in reverse

if you go forward its all fine but as soon as you try to go reverse you get that error when going back to stop or forward

I just tested on sim with gmoccapy 1.5.2 and I am not able to reproduce that.
What version do you use?

I can produce that error only if I set MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 0.0 in my INI and after starting the GUI set the spindle override slider to 0.0 and then switch the spindel on.

So I am pretty sure, you will just have to check your config.

But nevertheless, I did change the code to avoid that division by zero error (gmoccapy 1.5.2.2).

I think its version 1.5.2 that's what it says on the settings page its the latest version that was installed by doing a update from apt on the latest binary iso

I will check see what I have in the INI file and change I'm not a new Linux user I have good knowledge but new to linuxcnc so still have lots to learn just trying to get everything set up the way I like it as a ex mach3 user I am very happy to make the switch your GUI is simply amazing

Where is the correct place to ask questions re gmocappy >>Clive

@Norbert,

No problem, I am not in a hurry, and can bypass the problem easily in my ini file.

@clive,

You can open a new thread here in the forum if you have any questions. If you prefer german as language, just use Peters cnc ecke

@Nobert

Thanks for the reply I have opened a thread but not had any answers.

Would you mind giving me the correct command line and procedure to update Gmoccapy from the version on the live cd 2.6 which is 1.3.1 I think.

Clive

@Clive,

do you know the WIKI?
Or use also the documentation of the installed pakage.

• Open->Synaptic Package Manager
• In the Quick Search bar at the top, type linuxcnc.
• Click the check box to mark the new linuxcnc package for installation.
• Click the Apply button, and let your computer install the new package.

you will need a Internet connection to do the update.
And you should be done.
