Hey, I want to give you a quick update of my journey.
The Lenovo ThinkCentre arrived and I followed the instrucktions of the sticky posts in the QtPyVCP part of this forum. It worked very well at all for me and so after a short Intermezzo (booting with any other OS than windows is blockt in BIOS by "safety reasons") and turning off all unnecessary BIOS options I got a running ProbeBasic on 6.1.0-7-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.20-2 (2023-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux.
Ping is about 0.470ms
servo jitter up to 135000 if I stress the PC with glxgears and changing the window size very fast.
I isolated core 2 and 3.
So definitely some space for improvment but I had no "hm2/hm2_7i96s.0: Error finishing read!" yet and only one warning that the servo threat is too high (put it to 1000000 now) at the very first start up but never again.
So I decided to play a bit with my newly achived success and set up the stepper parameters, moved a bit by hand, set up the tool leingth measureing routing and finished my tool table. I can tell you, I really needed that, I am feeling a bit exausted about this project.
So right now I try to set up my spindle but I will open up another threat for that.
