In the manual it says: git clone github.com/scottalford75/Remora
is that correct?
or I have to do: git clone github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-cpp
remora-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sof...mp-installation.html
I went a bit by instinct and installed this:
github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c.../remora-rt1052-basic

linuxcnc gives me this error:

Hi
i think you didn't install the NVMPG component here

Hi

I thought it was optional.
Do I have to install all of these then?:

sudo halcompile --install ./Remora-eth/remora-eth-3.0.c
sudo halcompile --install ./Remora-spi/remora-spi.c
sudo halcompile --install ./Remora/remora_lpc.c
sudo halcompile --install ./NVMPG/nvmpg.c
sudo halcompile --install ./PIDcontroller/PIDcontroller.c
sudo halcompile --install ./PRUencoder/PRUencoder.c

I don't have a raspberry

Thank you so much for your precious help

Hi
with the steps described in the various posts I have successfully installed Remora on a NVEM V5.
I have a problem, joint3 does not run, I have deleted and reloaded remora four times, without success, joint3 does not run.
Tried a five-axis gantry XYYZA configuration, the XYY axis works, A (joint4) works, Z axis (joint3) does not work
the configuration file is the one in the LinuxCNC folder
nvem-rt1052.txt join3 are "P1_27", "P1_21" ?

I have checked the entire configuration many times, maybe I am missing something

P.S. thanks again to Scott and everyone who made it all possible

I thought it was optional.

it is optional, but in your configuration in the.ini file you have called it

HALFILE = remora-nv-mpg.hal

if you don't need it comment it and don't install the component

I wanted to thank you now I have the connection with nvem v5 and linuxcnc, I see it because using the software stop the red led lights up. Regarding your problem I have not yet received either DRIVERS or STEPER is there a way to test the outputs without having these components? like led? or I have this small steper but I would not like to damage the board by connecting it:

work at 12V and 5v

I have the same configuration loaded for my Z and A they are different

That drive and board require Quadrature outputs, LinuxCNC can do that easily, but i have no idea if Remora can do that.
There are 9 or 10 stepgen types that LinuxCNC can do, and probably 3 of those should work.
And just to be clear that "drive" is not a drive, it is an array of Darlington transistors that can handle 500mAh, if i recall correctly.
Apparently there are 15 types now, just checked so i need to update myself from 2008!

Driver:TB6560 JP-1635A
Steper: 57hdd0401
In your opinion is it safe to connect this driver and stepper?
Can I use the same 24V power supply that I use to power NVEM or is it better to use a separate one?
I only need it to test the jjdege conf (if I'm not mistaken it's the same conf as mine then it will tell me nvem-rt1052.txt)
to check the outputs.
I will never use this driver-stepper as a final solution.

If the power supply can do over 2A of current, yes you can use the same supply.
And no, that 2A is not related at all to the 2A written on the drive.
