If you do anything, do it good.

I absolutely agree.
So, that begs the question:
What did you do that is good in any way shape or form for others? For free, that cost you a lot of time and trouble to do good. Anything?

Dude that's bang out of line. He has a full time job, and probably a family.He does this for free , for the community in his spare time.Thats a good thing. Im only learning, and I get frustrated when things don't work, but that's my fault from lack of knowledge. Download the Linuxcnc manual, you will learn a lot from it. if you want things to just work spend money on another suite like centroid CNC , mach4 etc

Is anyone seeing the guy forcing someone to use remora? the answer is no, so if you buy a board and want to do the tests and you can't get anywhere, the problem is all yours, the guy takes his time to do something, puts it here for free and still has people to complain, this world is really lost, if you don't like something, do it yourself, simple as that.

In regards to pin names my suggestion is to use the built in linuxcnc parallel port config creator and set it up for your machine.
Then copy the pins for the io and other bits into the remora config.
Then just replace the parallel port pin names with the remora ones.

Understand you are asking for alot of a what I would call alpha stage project.
Once it gets it's into late beta is when it will have more hand holding guides and configs for users of lesser abilities.
To find the pin names if they are not spelled out for you just read the code to find them.
If you are unable to grasp even the ability to read code I suggest you wait or try a different solution.

remora-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
This is the documentation for the spi version of remora that uses 3d printer main boards.
This may give you an idea of pin names.
I use this version and not the ec500.

Explain to me what is better and more appropriate.
1. One who knows will write a few sentences?
2. A hundred who do not know will read someone else's code and guess what the author could think of?

 

There are many people here who like the project and have successfully used it.
Each of them is happy that scotta shares its work with them for free.

If you have a problem with it, it's not because of the project, either you didn't read up on it enough or you're too lazy to learn.

If you want professional support, buy heidenhain or something similar.

If you think the documentation is bad, then write a better one, you wanted to use the free work, then also give something back
