Rod's the one that has put them together, apart from the RT kernel & the addition of the Linuxcnc packages it's just Debian. Nothing special about the actual OS.

Nothing to do with menu-config. Its all Linux

You should be able to set up auto login the same way it is done with an x86 machine as its the OS you are logging into

Hi,

Is it possible to create an auto-login for the raspberryPi in order to create a keyboard less system with gmoccapy?

so it's perfect! if I think how much time I wasted with a nuc i3 to improve the latency without succeeding... I need it to tune up some drives that I recovered 2 years ago, now I also have the servos. if anyone knows these maybe they can give me some advice on how to use them in the best way.

That's the easiest way, I think I mentioned that earlier, I like Network Manager as I can turn the wifi off whilst running a job.

I installed network manager and both connections, 7i80 and internet are fine.

hi, i installed linuxcnc raspberry5 4gb image on ssd and it starts normally but i am not able to connect to wifi. i followed the instructions, used menuconfig with my data and country=IT but nothing. maybe because in the ssid there are two spaces? "FRITZ.Box 7590 BX" i tried before asking... god knows how much i tried

Brisbane here.

Personally, I would not use a wifi extender. Instead, I would install a Ubiquiti wireless link with a couple of these
www.computeralliance.com.au/ubiquiti-loc...nostation-cpe-airmax
I ran an 800m link with Ubiquiti Loco M5's which are about $10 more. It was a bulletproof 150 mb link for about 10 years. In the shed, attach to a switch and add a Wireless Access point. In the house, just attach it to your network. Run them on 5G where they can use frequencies still legal but outside of the congested? 5G space.

This would let you use a network port (even if a USB one) on your machine and would be much more robust.

A grounded steel enclosure is not the best place to be emitting radio signals from.

Nowadays just about any wifi dongle will work, but it will need an external antennae.

Should a good starting point for usable wifi adapters, anything that works with Debian Bookworm will work.

If you need extra help I'm located in Sydney as well.

Steel, 400 x 600 x 190.
See attached (poor) photo showing RPi hanging in space:
Row 1: stepper drivers,
Row 2: RPi stacked on Mesa, I/O PSU,
Row 3: 12 Vdc relays, Mesa core PSU,
Row 4: Terminals,
Side: stepper sockets, hole for monitor+keyboard+mouse cables, GPO for monitor + RPi.
Terminals and cables as appropriate, much neater generally.

I have a virtually identical cubicle with some electrical equipment in it.
Stripping and testing should begin next week.

The RPi 4GB and L2.9.2 need to go back to their day job of cutting metal.

What material is the enclosure ?

Thanks Rod, the external antenna was my next move.
I am in Sydney, any suggestion on model number that is known to work with LC2.9.4 ?

The Extender has been set up to use 2.4 GHz from the start.

The engineer in me wants to know why the failure in the cubicle.
I will do some more testing.
John.

Seems the card uses a R8168 interface. The R8168 requires a DKMS driver to get acceptable RT  performance. Not sure how that goes with a Pi. I would not use it for ethercat but would be fine for general network use.
