I have a LinuxCNC image running on a CM4/eMMC, so it should also work on the Pi5.

Hello
I put my pi 5 into operation yesterday.
Unfortunately I get the locale error with Pconf

I tried to use the same settings as you.
My keyboard is german

Do you have an idea?

Hi, I got my latest image working. In /boot/broadcom under config.txt, you need to comment out the line that enables SPI: dtparam=spi=on -> #dtparam=spi=on.
Then you can use GPIO7 and GPIO8.

You do not need to load hal_pi_gpio, it doesn't work on PI5.

The good news is that you don't need it, either.

Willkommen im Forum,

die Aussage finde ich viel zu allgemein, es kommt auf die Drehmaschine an, wie diese ausgestattet ist.
Meine hat zB. nen Werkzeugrevolver mit Überwachung der Position, Glasmaßstäbe in X und Z,
programmierbarer Reitstock/Pinole, Spindelencoder, Bedienpanel, Minimalmengenschmierung.
Weiter geplant, Taster zum automatischen Vermessen der Werkzeuge.
Du siehst, da kommen eine Menge IOs zusammen, "nur" für eine Drehmaschine 

Hier gibt es sehr viele hilfsbereite und schlaue Menschen, man muss nur ordentlich Fragen.

Ich habe aktuell dieses Interface:

Mir geht es für das erste erst mal darum, mich mit diesem LinuxCNC zu befassen...

Ich hoffe es gibt hier sehr Hilfsbereite und schlaue Menschen in diesem Forum... ich selber kontruiere und baue Maschinen inkl. Elektrik aber bei Software ist es bei mir dann vorbei.

Moin,
willkommen im forum.

für den Raspberry gibt es auch einen Parport adapter, so könnte man ein altes alte Mach3 BOB vielleicht weiter nutzen:

aber es kommt auch immer darauf an was man vor hat, es gibt da einiges an hardware die man nutzen kann: Mesa, Remora, Rio, GPIO.

Servus,

ich spiele schon länger mit dem Gedanken, auf LinuxCNC umzusteigen... jetzt habe ich gesehen, dass es das auch für den Pi4 gibt.... umsobesser

Die erste Frage ist nun aber, welche Steuerungsplatine sollte man hinter dem Raspi nutzen ? Aktuell habe ich Mach3... aber das mit der Echtzeit und alter gefällt mir nicht mehr!

Wer hat hier Tips für die Hardware zusammenstellug ? Handrad sollte auch noch her!

That would be lovely - the CM5 has one but then you need a carrier board and I don't know if the LinuxCNC image would run on the CM5/eMMC? With the right carrier board would be perfect though...

Dunn why RPi doesn't add a connector for an external antenna.

Just for completeness and to save anyone having to mess around with compiling kernel modules, here is what looks like a fairly comprehensive (at least until 6.13) list of in-kernel USB WiFi devices: github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/h...in-kernel_drivers.md

Discovered it a little late but I think only one has an RP-SMA connection.

This pretty clear, I would have thought.

To one well versed in building distributions, yes, but not necessarily to one who has only used distributions! Not until now, anyway

I was but at that point, didn't realise the significance of the kernel being sourced from a different place to the base distribution.

It does now load on boot.

Thank you.

The kernel should load the drivers without any user intervention.

Thank you very much for your replies. I did read all of this thread (all 7 pages!) but didn't quite make the connection that the linux-headers would be named differently for rpi. I've used the 'sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' a fair few times in the past but it's the first time I've noticed a mismatch between uname and the installed headers. Every day is a learning opportunity - even with a Bank Holiday brain.

I also did try just plugging the dongle in but according to this the drivers are not merged into the kernel until 6.13. The WiFi in my workshop is pretty weak - my NUC with two antennas struggles to with signal from the AP - I suspect the foil faced insulation board is creating a bit of a Faraday cage. And it's the ISP supplied router/AP at that end.

Once I'd 'discovered' the headers were already installed, I did the Basic Installation for All Distros and success!

For anyone else following along, the RTL8811AU chipset requires the rtw_8821au driver to be loaded (modprobe'd) as per this issue .

Thanks again, much appreciated.
 

Drivers build & load without having to install any "extras".

The kernel is a custom one based on the RPi sources, as such the kernel headers are preinstalled.
If you read the very first post in this thread you will realise that the image is based on Debian 12 with a RT kernel based on the RPi sources.
I have my Pi in a metal enclosure and haven't noticed any issues with wifi. Your mileage may vary.
Have you tried plugging in your dongle and checked if the kernel loads drivers ?
