I did this on my mill and lathe.

I also have the Mill autostarting LinuxCNC. Good reminder that I need to do this on the lathe.

Is there a simple way to not need to log into my cnc machine? Actually,  is it possible to have linuxcnc fire up automatically too? I want to flip the breaker on my machine and then hit a power on contactor for the servos and be ready to machine. No time to be typing in passwords to drill a hole.   lol

Now that my machine is mostly configured and ive got all the software in it, its not gonna be going online ever again. 

This is probably simple but I can't find it through some searching.
My machine is set up as imperial but I do (basically all) my gcode in metric.
As a result, when AXIS starts it comes up in inches, and I have to change it to metric before touching off tools.  Similarly, the cylinder that represents a tool displays in inches so when I change to mm it's 25 times larger than the job and I can't see anything.
I'm using linuxcnc 2.7.14 and would appreciate any advice.
 

Well it should be a drop-in replacement, I'll take al ook tomorrow. 

I had no knowledge about CNCs, but over the last year I have learnt how to use Linuxcnc with a mesa board for my DIY lathe. Would like to dive deeper into knowing about HAL, Macros, O-codes, and maybe those custom Virtual panels that I see all over the internet. Now the thing is, what do i need to have prior knowledge about before diving deeper into this stuff? Python. Thanks in advance.

Already seen it, he missed the point by quite a margin, hence i did not bother to post it here.
The lack of options is the issue, and that is why they can pull such s#it off easily, but something does not add up for me:
-why are payment processors forcing this when it lowers their profits
-why are credit card issuers submitting to payment processors when this lowers their profits
-why are companies complying with all above as again it lowers their profits and alienates customers
As a result crypto is flying high and will continue to do so, especially when someone figures out how to skip all above by using this, and this opens another black market on the net for po...kemon pictures and stuff...
My conclusion :
CONGRATULATIONS humans, you have become the most valuable asset on the internet!!!
If Alphabet, Meta, Tencent, et al can pay astronomical amounts of money to credit card issuers and payment processor for the loss of profits, and they accept it silently and without the smallest backfire, we as internet users have become quite pricey.

BTW, do not fall for scams like "VPN is secure" =it is not and they sell all your data and use your PC for their stuff just check latest ticketmaster fails, "we are building new internet that has nothing to do with this one" = they can not, short of plowing half the world and laying new cables/optics.
For both of those there was and is a solution for over 10 years, use TOR, just do read a bit before jumping in, OK?

No, the 6i25 was operated with only one 7i74; the second slot remained empty. The new 7i85 will not arrive until Wednesday.

Odd, do the 7I85 encoders work?

Maybe there's some meta-problem of some kind.

The sample code works (standalone) for me,
That is just by manipulating/watching the pins in halshow:  

 

 

That was 5i25_7i74x2.bit, sserial_port_1=021xxx

and further more

sooo pretty.
 

haha
 

More like:

net joint-0-pos-fb <= hm2_[MESA](BOARD).0.encoder.00.position
net joint-0-pos-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb
net joint-0-pos-fb => pid.x.feedback

# PID Output
net joint.0.output <= pid.x.output
net joint.0.output => hm2_7i95.0.7i83.0.0.analogout0

The above has already been replied on the other topic/thread.

Start a new topic on the "show your stuff" section of the forum, in the tittle put retrofit of whatever your machine is named, attach plenty of pictures of the existing machine and control and wiring with details on motors and drives, add whatever info you think might help, wait for replies.
There are plenty of us here who do a lot of retrofits and new builds, some do magnificent machines with details worth the "hall of fame", so plenty of help on tap, just ask.
