Category: General LinuxCNC Questions
Hello Senior Members,
I have begun working on my 2nd linuxcnc project. Previously, i have successfully set up 2 CNC machines with Linuxcnc and parallel port combined with a lot of help and learnings even for the most basic things from you all.
This time i have:
> Rpi 5, installed with LinuxCNC 2.9.4
Raspberry Pi 5 OS based on Debian Bookworm
Raspberry Pi 5 on a SD card through Raspberry pi imager.
> Mesa 7i96 board (fresh out of the box, w5 and w6 jumpers set on Down position)
I have read through
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...l-images-only#320270 and rest of the topics, hm2_eth , network manager, and youtube videos. I am still unsure what to do and how.
> i cannot make a wifi connection with menu-config. i dont really understand it to be honest. what information to put and where?
> i cannot edit the etc/network/interfaces file, it does not let me save the changes. and what shall i change and not change in it?
> with network-manager-gnome im still not able to connect to a wifi or ethernet. also what is eth0 and wifi0 they cant be used?
> what is mesaflash? do i have to flash my mesa card or update it or whatever during my first boot? or does it work out of the box
If only somebody could just walk me through the barebones setup so that i can simply make a connection to the mesa card, and have wifi connection too.. from scratch. it would be very helpful for me and anyone like me.
Best regards
