PathPilot V2 source code

after adding /v2.9.0/linuxcnc/lib/python/gremlin to environment variable PYTHONPATH by running following command:
export PYTHONPATH=/v2.9.0/linuxcnc/lib/python/gremlin:$PYTHONPATH

I get stuck on the next error in launching axis:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like axisUI and more specifically gremlin is a no-go to run the sim configs with axis UI based on the changes made by tormach.
Next step: Try to run axisUI without gremlin? OR try to run another UI like touchy or keystick (anything that does not use gremlin)?

got xemc to work by changing the DISPLAY = axis to DISPLAY=-xemc in the axis.ini file in the configs/sim/axis/axis.ini file. Dont know how to use xemc though . Learning.

If someone still wants the v2.9.0 code that I got from tormach, I can comb through the files and ensure that I am not violating any tormach copyrights (by deleting the images and other copyrighted tormach material) and share the source as a repo somewhere?

I was able to get LinuxCNC to compile on a fresh install of Mint v18. From what I can tell, if you want all of the pathpilot parts to work as well you need a successful make from the pathpilot source directory. Making from there configures and executes the LinuxCNC make. I got all of this working on Mint v18, but still have not gotten it to work starting with a working pathpilot install.

Scott...

I didn't think that there was actually anything that was not re-distributable in the source code that you get from Tormach with the pathpilot source USB card.

Hi folks......

I'm trying to implement tormach spindle orientation for an atc...ive gotten round most of the quirks with the unidrive commander m200 stuff but it looks like the pulse resolution changes (mode0, mode1) in ecm1 hal.....As i'm running a servo on the spindle of my machine.what i'd like to do is change the stepgen scaling for orientation and then revert back for normal running...my question is...

is the source for tormachspindlem200.comp included in the source code package?

if so i don't mind asking for and paying for the source cd....

But on the positive side my atc simulator works..!...

thanks in advance
dorro........

Hi Attached is the tormachspindlem200.comp from the tormach source.

I owe you a dept of gratitude automata !

many, many thanks...i wouldn't have known where to start looking ....

I might still contact Tormach for their source code though...i'm nosey!...

cheers!

Could you post or email me the source code. Or I'm ready to buy from you. I can't buy from them, because in my country there is no bank check payment. I debited Tormach and no other forms of payment they do not accept.

Can you use wise? wise.com/
That might solve your payment problem

Thank you. I'll look at their website to see how it works.
