Extract the file into your linuxcnc/configs directory and start it from the config picker.
I couldn't figure out how to make the entry box as big as the position readout, so it's all a bit ugly.

I had very nearly as much trouble getting Squeeze to _make_ the archive file in the first place.
In the end I used the command line, and it appears that you need to do that to extract it.
Download the file then use the commandand you should end up with a folder that can be put in the configs folder.

I think you will need to do it from the terminal. As far as I can see Debian is hopeless at creating or extracting archive files.
open a terminalThen you can move the folder using the GUI into linuxcnc/configs
open a terminal
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf one_axis.gzPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

No, that won't work as stepconf will over-write the whole thing
Either wire the step / dir / home as I described or hand-edit the HAL file to change those 3 pins.
If you look at the HAL file you will see there is almost nothing to it.
