Trying out LinuxCNC on Raspberry PI5

Is it possible to use the Master version on a Pi5 ?

It isn't supported out of the box but you could build it from source. I made a video

Parport bob is easy to use.
There are guides to set it up.

@rodw excellent ! I couldn't spot any differences from x64 build

but normal need use WHITOUT this expensive hat , only gpio pin out and shift level converter can use 3,3V gpio pin to out 5V and traight to driver step and dir and enable pin.
how this made if ewer newer not has understand anything code nd not understand what need doing code, understand only good all hardware how connect and build,
i have rpi4 and SD card have linuxcnc rpi4 image, working and boot ok, (whit HDMI display) but not boot whit pi hut mikro HDMI to vga cable.
how make this gpio pins can take out gpio pin to driver DM556. were can download setting hal and ini file or what need add to rpi4, normal peoples NOT can understand and write hard code to rpi, hal or ini or what possiple need doing, not know.
i just buy rpi4, paraller port BOB, cheap chinese 10$ board, encoder, rotary SW, shift level converter modules, 3,3V to 5V, all buttons, DM556 drivers, nema 23 470 OZ/3Nm motors, lot hardware but not can made code anything.

help need send to me files what need copy and paste to rpi4 linuxcnc and were folder need add. not know were and what and how.

I have not tried connecting a BOB to a Raspberry pi. I think it could work but it will not be easy. You will have to write the hal and ini files.

How will you connect BOB to the Raspberry pi? The connectors are quite different.

If you could use your BOB connected to a pc that has a parallel port that will be a lot easier. I might be able to help. Then you could use stepconf to create your configuration.
