The IP address for the WIFI should be assigned automatically via DHCP
not something you normally need to change.

Do make sure that you are not using wicd for network setup
it broken and does not allow a DHCP WIFI connection to coexist
with a static Ethernet connection.
 

trying to do this, I realize the computer I use seems to have some broader networking issue, I usually use it offline, I connected it to wifi but I have no acces to the internet, any leads to where this might come from? wrong ip adress setup on my pc?

It's funny my Lenovo ThinkCentre is a better performing than the ThinkStation from the same era.
Looking to get a quad core i7 for the T530 and see how that goes

But good find old mate

My RPi5 is working great on the mill, no performance issues, but not the best bang for buck performance wise

Strange issue...

You might try updating mesaflash to the current version:

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash

(scroll down to bottom for build instructions)

Yes, I've been using the machine since 2022 with no issue using the stock firmware, i'm only trying to use mesaflash now to use a fifth stepgen. is there something with my linux install that could have gone wrong?

Imaginative idea.

See the config
sim/axis/vismach/puma
for an example config including a graphical representation of the simulated robot.

Note that getting the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters exactly right is not a trivial task if they are not provided. (and there are two different conventions for them)

There are a few examples out there. Look on YouTube.
For example:

I downloaded Linux-2.7.14 wheezy.iso  and used rufus.ie to make a usb image.
The new computer won't go past the boot screen. I fiddled around with the boot order etc but still no go.

You have to disable "secure boot: and UEFI in BIOS for it to work, UEFI is usually disabled by choosing Legacy mode in BIOS for boot devices/order.

Fairly mysterious...

Does LinuxCNC run properly?

 

Yes, 7i74 will do perfectly for 6i25 and add 8 more SSerial ports.
And yes, i have used many 7i74 (i have one on my Mazak lathe) as they make for cleaner installs as wiring to 7i70 and/or 7i71 is just a simple network cable.
@Andy,
see if you can source HP Z400 or Z420 or Z600 workstations, all have PCI slots, 420 has 1, 600 has 3 i think, and all have plenty of PCI-E. They are usually very cheap, but struck gold yesterday with 5 of Z600 :
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/57073-hp-...or-use-with-linuxcnc

Yesterday i got 5 of Z600 workstations, as life would have after a friend gave one for free to me as i service and maintain his laptops and PC from time to time, i asked for the price as he had another 7 home collecting dust, and after quite a bit of back and forth (and bickering) we agreed on another 4 for 100 Euro total, making it 25 Euro a piece!
Wasted yesterday evening and night, and today all day testing and installing those, organizing memory modules (several types of several sizes on all of them) ended up 4 having 16GB of ECC RAM and one having 24GB of ECC RAM and some left over 2GB and 1GB modules, all have 128GB SSD and some have and assortment of spinning HDD's from 80GB to 500GB, all have old NVIDIA Quadro graphic cards that now seem pathetic compared to a GTX1060/6GB or RX580/8GB that i promptly switched to on two of them, all have 2 of Xeon 4 core CPU's at 2.4GHz, and proprietary 650W power supply with a single 6 pin VGA power connector, and all weigh in at over 20KG !!!
So far tested with Linux Mint 22.1 and LinuxCNC 2.10 on 6.13 RT kernel, all have very good latency from short test i did. Will do more tests and also add a parallel port to one to test with as they do have PCI slots.
Have to go to the shop and finish 2 more installs, so for now i leave you with this:
Do NOT buy raspberry PI, buy everything else.

The wayback machine might help.
