Hi @survivethewalkingdead,

Many thanks for reporting,
It seams to be a bug (it's strange, but it doesn't happen to me) and I think I found where is it. :-)
I pushed a patch (v0.8.7.20220212), but, since I'm not at home, I don't have a Windows Box to test ans the bug doesn't affect me, tell me if it work for you.
For traceability, I also need to know what is your version of Windows, Python and QT?

@++;
Gauthier.

[survivethewalkingdead]

Thanks for the prompt response! :)
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 20H2
Installed on ‎10-‎Jul-‎21
OS build 19042.1466
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Py 3.9*** and 3.10***.Currently 3.10. Oh, I just found 3.4 also installed. Have removed 3.4 and 3.9.
I can't find qt version now...each time I installed successfully a message came up with version and slightly newer version available. I was not able to upgrade it. When I tried pip install pyqt5 just now it did something different, opened a second cmd window for a moment, went back to ready.
I've downloaded the new zip, will go try it now...
Darren.

[survivethewalkingdead]

Uninstall all python. Download 3.10.2 again. Install. Install as admin. Will not run, will not associate with any .py files. Can't do anything now. :( Windows is all i know, NOT impressed anymore! (if ever. LOL). Googling...

[survivethewalkingdead]

re-boot. uninstall py. reboot. install py. reboot. uninstall code reader. Still doesn't associate with Python, but Visual Studio starts it and it looks like it runs! First time I see the control panel! Thank you very much! Will play with it more tomorrow.

Hi @survivethewalkingdead,

I'm please to know that cn5X work for you 😃
Normally, open .py files is a Python install option, this option is not active by default and need to be checked during the Python install procedure.
By the way, perhaps there is a conflict between this option and the Visual Studio default file open options...

You can try to change the default file association with one of this link:

Gauthier,

Finally got pyqt5 to show me version again... It is the pip that is looking for an upgrade, not qt or serial. I'm guessing pyserial is for comms with board. What is PyQT5 used for?

Definitely had the check box for .py association checked. Been trying multiple ways to change file association. Windows will not let me access the folder (AppData) where Python resides.
I'm beginning to suspect some security and authentication apps installed for my employer to allow remote access to work files... Citrix Receiver, Ping ID etc. Definitely not your problem!

Thanks for the great program and support!
Darren.

[fra589]

Hi Darren,

AppData is for Data, not for software programs. This probably the reason you can't associate .py files to Python. For this, you have to install it in Programs files.

Yes, pyserial is used for the serial com with Grbl.

The PyQT implement the QT5 framework in Python.
The QT5 framework is a cross platform development tool which have many-many functionalities. In cn5X, I use it for driving all the graphical interface windows and widgets, the multithreading, and many other things.
It works just as well in Linux (which I use) as in Windows or on Mac :-)

Strange python default save/install location. Changed to program files works much better! Thank you!

Is there documentation anywhere of features, settings, etc? Specifically, how to set up for Plasma cutting, and what are the lower left indicators? x,y,z,a,b,c,p,d,h,r,s? Thanks again,

Darren.

[fra589]

Hi Darren,

Like all retirees, I don't have enough time to do what I have in mind, and so I haven't found the time to write the full cn5X documentation yet. I rather favor writing new features for cn5X & grbl-Mega-5X...
I also do a lot of things other than computing software developement :-)

Process specific settings, if any, are to be made at the machine and Grbl level and not in cn5X.

The lower left indicators indicate the state of grbl's inputs:
x,y,z,a,b,c => Limit switch pins status,
p,d,h,r,s => The probe, door, hold, soft-reset, and cycle-start pins, respectively.

I appreciate your efforts and totally understand the "other" distractions etc. :-)  I work 7 days in camp, 7 days off. Can be tough on days-off to squeeze in play time (currently build and learn cnc) in between honey-do tasks. Lol. Last night I read through all the code and comments, got a better understanding of where to make changes. Sorry for asking machine questions in gui section! Right guy, wrong place. :) Just figured that out now. 🤦‍♂️ Now I'll go read Mega5xEdge section on Github.Thanks again,Darren -------- Original message --------From: Gauthier Brière ***@***.***> Date: 2022-02-14 1:44 a.m. (GMT-07:00) To: fra589/cn5X ***@***.***> Cc: survivethewalkingdead ***@***.***>, Mention ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [fra589/cn5X] Windows 10, Think I am doing something wrong.

Since I can't read this, I don't know if it is Cn5x or Mega5x related... just trying to move steppers at the kitchen table. No limit switches so I removed all Z commands. It could very well be an issue with my gcode, but the random french that pops up may be something you would like to address? If so I can keep sending them to you as I find them. If not, no problem, just let me know! :-)

Oh...just clicked define G28 position and Cn5X closes...

Hi Darren,

It's strange, the default language should be English when the local system language is not known in cn5X. The message you are quoting should have been in English.
I have the same behavior on my own cn5X system, I'll have to find out why this message is in French...

The alarm number 2 you are getting is from grbl-Mega-5X and is normal. This stems from the standard way coordinate space is handled in a CNC milling machine.
By default, the homing procedure (or at power-up when homing is disabled) sets the coordinates to 0 for the maximum axis travel limits. So, according to this, all machine coordinates lie in a space of negative dimensions. If you enter an axis destination with a positive coordinate (Y0.5 in your case) it will generate this error.
To use positive coordinates, the work coordinates must be defined using the GCode commands G92 or/and G54-G59. see http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/coordinates.html

About cn5X crash when you click define G28 position, I need more details about the complete procedure which made this crash, from cn5X start to the cn5X unexpected close. So, it will be possible for me to try to reproduce and correct it.
EDIT: I will reply to this bug in your other issue #37
