Linux vs Windows value

Category: Off Topic and Test Posts

People will just want a turnkey solution,...

This is what really pisses me off, Linux is the turnkey solution, not windows.
This my main PC has Ryzen 7 7700, RX6800, 96GB RAM, etc, i install Linux in about 3 minutes, reboot and use the PC as everything works.
For any windoze that would be at least 40 minutes to 2 hours for windows, another hour or two for drivers with many reboots, and then software for ... everything!
I play occasionally Doom Eternal on Steam, yet no drivers are required!!! 120 FPS @ 3440X1440 with RT on.
Edit:
Not addressed at you, unknown, addressed at the internet as a whole as everyone on the net keeps repeating that same phrase. Sorry i just noticed it might come as personal, it is not.

The project is on hold at the moment. Didn't want anyone to believe I was ignoring or not getting back to them. I'll update as soon as I can.

That requires you build customized M6 remap and subroutines to accommodate your desired functionality. The on screen graphics can be triggered with simple commands in the sub routines. Any specialized tools for instance that cannot be stored in the atc. such as a fixed spindle or large fly cutter for example that won't fit, you would currently have to add exceptions for those tools in the subroutines.

the main argument against windows is that it doesn't run LinuxCNC :)
 
Thank God for that, I could just imagine what B.S. windows would add to it.

Step By Step Help Needed . EL8 Leadshine to PI 5

Category: EtherCAT

Hello Will,I am also new to the world of LinuxCNC and servos. It can be a lot to take in. I have been working on a Marco Reps clone box as well and have a thorough walkthrough for the process so far. I'm stuck on getting gantry mode working but it looks like you won't have that problem. I have also provided two config files. The modello config is setup as a gantry mode, but I have tried a probe basic config with 3 axis in trying to master/slave the gantry servos via RS 485 cable rather than in LinuxCNC. That should work for your system. You will still need to comment out various bits in the files regarding the LS510 VFD and the xhc-whb04b handheld controller if you are not using this hardware. I am leaving for vacation today but let me know how you get on.

Troubles to get started with SD240 Retrofit

Category: Turning

I think I probably detected the source of these  weird settings disabling jog. Guess it can just be the Config file. Nowhere else I can find a similar demonination of the pins etc.
I have to check this, but I started with a config file created by PC-Config and without MPG included.
Then I had PC-Config create a new one with a different name and copied the MPG related lines of the newly created .hal file to my existing .hal file.
But the config file is still the initial one (without MPG) and therefore jogging is disabled.
I will try this weekend to create a new config file with PC-Config, include the MPG and all data I know mean while. Hope to get it working this way.

I know someone else with this config, and he has written a walkthrough. I will ask him to post it.

oh well, rio also supports e.g. ROS and MQTT without LinuxCNC, so the ARM core can also be very helpful.

And it may even be possible to run LinuxCNC directly there without a GUI.

i can't say much about the conditions, the board i have looks quite good. And even if you always have to buy 2, it's still cheaper than a new single Zynq chip :)

Ah yes I know that feeling. One has to do what one has to do.

I was a bit put off by the description of the conditions of the boards, I think on one of the github pages it was recommended to buy a couple of boards as they can be, as we say in Australianish, "a bit how ya goin".

Bit off topic but might be worth a few giggles.

I think that it will be the computer suppliers that will dictate the Desktop uptake. The average Joe will want Windows, the Mac users are dedicated to Apple, or whatever Apple throws at them.
People will just want a turnkey solution, or if they build their own PC what they are comfortable with.
I would posit a guess that the uptake in people connecting to the internet via phones or tablets is on the increase..........it would appear the easiest route to rot your brain with social media.

Apparently the latest trend on TikTok is their AI becoming sentient and having a soul. So I really don't have a lot of hope. I'm pretty sure it would the same group that use mediums, astrology, talk to spirits and jump on the "Latest Thing".

I'm so happy to be a grumpy old man in this day & age.

rio's goal is that it runs on all FPGAs.
since the znyq already has an arm core and is connected to ethernet, you should be able to use it.

at the moment i wouldn't advise anyone to use the board for RIO, the TangNano9k is much better suited.
But somehow it is a challenge for me to get everything running on the board and once everything is working it will certainly have some extended possibilities.
