7i96 Configuration Tool

Umm a reload is not needed...

Can you see the 7i96 file with ls? if not, ./7i96 will not work as that means execute the 7i96 file in the current directory

Thanks Peter I see a 7i96 file in /home/cnc/.local/bin/ and started a terminal there and tried 7i96 to no avail then I did ./7i96 and the config tool showed up no prob.

So is the file in the wrong place. If so how do I correct it? Could I copy the file to the home dir?

The file is in the right place, you must have an issue with the path. Did you check the path with echo $PATH?

Don't move that file as it points to .local/lib/site-packages/python3.5/m7i96...

Ok So how do I fix this please. I am not a linux guru

Not sure what you mean here !!

To use the 7i96 config tool the instructions state... "Run the 7i96 cong tool in a terminal do: 7i96"

This does not work for me as JT says the path is wrong

From what I understand is putting 7i96 in a terminal from the home dir should just work.

Would it be possible to set the 7i96 config tool to leave out the Spindle section if your machine does not have a spindle? I'm setting up a plasma machine and every time I make a change using the 7i96 config tool, I must go into the .hal file and comment out or delete the spindle section. If I do not, LinuxCNC will not start due to an error.
