05:39 AM trasz: is there a way to run linuxcnc without gui? just somehow run it from command line and feed it gcode?
07:38 AM jepler: trasz: sure, many of the tests do this. look at e.g. tests/abort/feed-rate
07:43 AM skunkworks: Am am having trouble un-ac coupling a trace in halscope. I have given up and now just edit the autosave.halscope file.
07:44 AM skunkworks: is there something I am missing - or an oversite?
07:45 AM skunkworks: when you go back into the offset screen - the ac couple isn't check so you cannot uncheck it.
08:11 AM pcw_home: You can make it work by double clicking the checkbox (and removing the offset)
08:11 AM pcw_home: (just changing the offset works also)
08:17 AM skunkworks: hmm - that didn't work for me. (removing the offset) let me try
08:19 AM skunkworks: ok - good - that does work. selecting and unselecting does remove it.
08:19 AM skunkworks: Thanks
03:29 PM JT-Shop: what is the longest cable length for a 6i24 to a daughter card?
04:45 PM trasz: jepler: thanks!
05:10 PM pcw_mesa_: depends on the daughtercard but 5Ft is a reasonable limit
05:10 PM pcw_mesa_: 10ft will work with many
05:32 PM seb_kuzminsky: hi andypugh
05:32 PM andypugh: Hi
05:32 PM seb_kuzminsky: i'm merging 2.7 into master and got a conflict in sserial.c
05:33 PM andypugh: Does anyone understand Tkinter and Python enough better than me to figure out why this code doesn’t close the dialog box?
05:33 PM andypugh: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/20-g-code/33642-custom-m-code-python?limitstart=0#102549
05:33 PM seb_kuzminsky: oh, nevermind, i see how to resolve it
05:33 PM andypugh: seb_kuzminsky: Ah, yes,
05:34 PM andypugh: I did notice that it was already fixed in 2.8 after I fixed it in 2.7
05:34 PM seb_kuzminsky: i set it to LBP_PAD, which is 0x00, so it's no conflict at all
05:34 PM andypugh: Just skip the merge, if that’s easy
05:35 PM seb_kuzminsky: it's done
05:36 PM seb_kuzminsky: i'm more worried about the merge conflict in the chinese translation....
05:37 PM andypugh: Duolingo have a Chinese option, maybe you can learn Chinese?
06:28 PM andypugh: Figured out my Python/Tl problem. I needed to dialog.update() before dialog.destroy(). Seems odd, but there you are.
