Hey real quick question. I just want to confirm that I am wiring the limit switches correctly. I got this diagram for a GRBL setup. I am thinking the switches can be wired the same (in series/per axis) but connected to the Mesa board differently. Do I just run the green wire to the Field Power (V+) and the others to the Digital Inputs? Please see attachment.

 

Thanks

Yep.  The pic had me confused for a minute, but if you wire it like your annotation you're GTG.

Alright I have finished running all the electrical and have fired up the cabinet. No smoke or fire so far :-D

There is power to my Mesa board and I ran an Ethernet cable to my Debian computer. I have manually setup the ethernet connection as shown in this post  .

But when I try to communicate with the Mesa using the commands shown in the post, I get nothing. I can't ping it (From 10.10.10.11 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable) or use the mesaflash command (bash: mesaflash: command not found).

I tried installing network-manager or network-manager-gnome AND uninstalling WiCD but it appears that network-manager's are already installed and there does not appear to be a WiCD installed. There appears to be upgrades to the network-manager's but I get errors when I try to upgrade them. Do I need to add some repositories in order to upgrade?

I am using Debian Bookworm/sid with LinuxCNC v2.9.

Would appreciate some guidance. Thanks

I get a "404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.22.132 80]" message when I try to upgrade the network-manager's.

I just installed mesaflash and I am still unable to connect to the mesa.

I finally got connected to the Mesa board by editing /etc/network/interfaces.d/setup and moving the W3 jumper.

I noticed though that when I left click on the Network Manager in the tray it shows VPN as the only option. I no longer see other connection options. Is this normal? Not that it matters much as I will probably only run LCNC on this PC.

Now I am kind of lost on setting up my ini/hal files. I am running the Pncconf Wizard but not real sure how to set it up. I am running a YYXZ axis setup and I want my home in the lower (front) left corner of my table. I am kind of confused on how I would set my limit switches on the 7i76 I/O TB6 tab. Would I use "X Maximum Limit + Home" or "X Minimum Limit + Home" or "X Both Limit + Home"? And do I need to invert them?

Any guidance on setting these files up and testing my axis's would be appreciated!
