Probe cancellation does not move the axes.

Hi, in probe basic when the 3d probe can't finish or I cancel it, the axes don't move until I bring the machine home.
Is there a way to not have to do homing so that the axes keep moving? 

Are you changing back to manual mode to enable jogging? When it doesnt complete a subroutine it will be in auto mode.

Maybe not Probe Basic specific... but is there a way to force manual mode via the 'on_abort' process?  So if any of the subroutines (probe, ATC, etc.) fails the machine jumps to manual mode.

If there is a way, that might be a nice-to-have addition to the PB config(s)... don't leave the machine hanging in an aborted auto mode.

jog mode is activated.

"JOG" is not a mode.  Even if the on-screen jog button is highlighted, LCNC can still be in MDI or Auto mode.

It looks like your screen has been edited to remove the mode indicator-buttons... or you've got a different version.

I've circled the mode buttons in the attached pic.  You can also open halshow, and under 'halui' add the various mode indicators to the watch list to see what mode LCNC is in.

If, after a subroutine is aborted, LCNC is in Auto mode, you won't be able to jog regardless if the GUI's 'jog' button appears active.

 

I don't know why those modes aren't shown in my version. I just downloaded it, followed the installation instructions and it looked like this. 


How can I add them?

That would be a great addition to Probe Basic.

Sounds like something got messed up in your PB installation.

What Linux distribution are you using, and what version of LCNC?  This might have a bearing - I've had problems in the past with certain combinations/versions of Debian/LCNC/qtpyvcp/PB.  Seems like frequently some dependency or other invisible 'backstage' issue led to weird problems with PB.

I know it'll be a bit painful, but my suggestion is to make a copy of your config and then uninstall and reinstall PB using the instructions here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/qtpyvcp/53871-probe-b...on-start-here#310377

I'm not sure it can be done - but I'm no expert.

My initial thought is that the on_abort subroutine is run while LCNC is in auto mode... so there's no way for a program to switch to manual (or MDI) mode.

I'll dig around a little and open a new thread - the issue (or solution) may not be specific to PB.

you are not in full screen mode, hit F11 to allow the display to correctly fit the screen.
