I think about 6 months ago a user tried to use ChatGPT to write a component for Linuxcnc...what a mess that was and the user was quite upset, not so much with the code supplied but with the fact that the replies suggesting the code made no sense.

Thanks for your input. Keyboard input is USB, so meh, not a lot that can be done about that.

Use the official fan & heatsink, it works well and you'll have no issues. I've left mine on for days at a time during the summer in Australia and nothing has gone wrong.

I prefer a wired pendant, connected via a Mesa 7i73. It's solid and you don't need to worry about disconnections. Just axis & step selectors with a hand wheel. Tho Rod does us a fancy wireless one.

Ha!!! My motors stall if I go much over 40 inches / minute!

Rod, all my 3D printers run Klipper on laptops or NUC's, nothing runs on RPI's on my shops, although i have 2 somewhere, the 3B version.
Use KIAUH from github, it will install and setup everything on a PC, including camera, telegram bot, etc

First of all, thank you very much for your work with the images. 

According to everything I found on the net, a pi 5 8GB with SanDisk extreme pro 64gb, official power supply and a Mesa 7i96s should work without any problems? Is that correct?  

Are there any restrictions regarding
- user interface (probe basic, gmoccapy)
- the wireless 6 axis handwheel  

One last question about the cooling / housing.Is a passive cooled case like the Flirc Raspberry Pi 5 case sufficient or should active cooling be provided? My thoughts on this are mainly dust protection.


Perhaps useful for others
Unfortunately, the standard office monitors all have large ventilation slots on the back. I have been looking for alternatives for a time and would now like to use a mobile external monitor (sold as a supplement to the laptop). These seem to be much better protected against dust.

Thanks

So this code does the same thing?
(pwmgen.00 is the spindle pwmgen)

Second hand laptops are much cheaper and much more powerful, and can easily run Klipper.

I didn't know that!

I don't think the error has anything to do with your I/O module. Sounds like you are using a wrong pin name. comment it out until it opens and then review in halshow to see what you did wrong...

Okay, I think a picture will help.

That's because since homing (and even rapids, on my mill) are very slow, I'd really rather skip the extra bed travel, and have it home directly to 12, and stayed there.
 

Homing does not have to be slow but there is a tradeoff between overtravel and velocity. Now you have it working, try playing with the HOME_VELOCITY and LATCH_VELOCITY. ON my plasma table, I settled on 12 metres/minute

They're cute and they catch mice.

Said cat is out of a job due to technology in the better mouse trap!

Probably what you need is spindle.0.at-speed but its true when running
Being a mesa card your pin probably has a matching .not signal otherwise, use the not component to invert the signal

OK, lets look at it from the other side, is that wheel with round holes on your actual machine?
where so sensor wires go and how many pins are there?

Any AI client I have tried just lies, particulalry with linuxcnc.
Don't get me started about the stupid question I got from a customer over the weekend about a product of mine. The question has never been asked in 16 years the product has been out there and was totlally irrelevant.

The exception seems to be Elon Musk's Grok. Perhaps the lies are just harder to pick

I dont think it did a single halpin correctly in the file, maybe the arduino one but im not sure.

How do I modify the files to make it run, or where can I get the specific information?

You should start by not using the entire thing. The thing you generated is essentially a broken version of the default/premade configurations we provide for remora The only thing it actually did was assign signals to the remora IO to add the buttons. The encoder signals arent connected to anything, and many of the parameters in the INI file arent real or connected to anything either, its mixing between joint C and Y, the speeds look insane and most of the ini entries are completely made up

Based on what I assume is the intended halfile, you have barely changed anything from the default remora halfile to begin with.


Compare that file to this one, known good and working
github.com/cakeslob/RRW_LAB/blob/main/Li...olset/remora-xyz.hal

it looks like i didnt upload my lathe config, but ill post that if you promise not to use that ai file
