What alternatives to gantrykins?

OK so i now have an old Acer computer running running Ubuntu 10.04 linux cnc 3 with a Latency of Base jitter 17,000 (ns). I have my old files # Kinematics lodart gantrykins.
Can anyone tell me how I go about setting up these original files in a gantrykins config to run on this computer with Ubuntu 10.04 Linuxcnc3.
this would be much appreciated
Thanks Paul.

What do you mean by "LinuxCNC 3" ?

If you are using LinuxCNC 2.7, and you still have your old gantrykins configs, what is it that isn't working now?

Ubuntu 10.04 iso had Linuxcnc3 in it's name
linuxcnc.org/iso/ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc3-i386.iso

Hi Andy thanks for your interest,

I am running Gecko 251 drives with MB-02V6 Bidirectional Breakout board
All Parallel ports are to be active high
I selected Gantry with gantrykins from configs and created desktop shortcut.
I then cut and pasted my files into the config .
When I try to run it on my machine I get the following.

I removed the combined limit / home switches, spindle and probe from the machine to simplify things
may actually have complicated things
I have set Parallel port to SPP mode

Cheers Paul

The error is:

Could not open command file 'gan_xxyz.hal'

So there is a file referenced in your INI which does not exist in your config folder.

Thank you very much for that Andy,
set the little old grey cells in motion, I remembered I posted my config way back so I went to my profile > Attachment Manager > #4 My Zip.Zip. - U Axis Configuration, had all my original files how lucky.
I simply took my old config folder (gan_xxyz ) dumped it in the configs folder created a shortcut to it with
CNC > Linux CNC > Linux CNC Configuration Selector
Ticked the create short cut box > hit OK

Now all I need to do is configure the Parallel Port

Thanks again
