So basically you're supporting Mesa hardware, something I mentioned along time ago, which the Spartan6 hardware I added to the repo basically is, 7c81 ish clone.

8 gb will be fine. SSD whatever you want but mostly I've used from 64gb to 256 gb

8.7 TB free here.

You should be able to install a gitlab at home too. docs.gitlab.com/install/docker/ then you could clone what you want into your trpo

I am getting this right, the W5500 acts as an Ethernet bridge ?

Yes

7I90HD should work with small changes

Or any Mesa SPI firmware (custom) like something I've put together ?

No,
This has nothing to do with the Mesa gateware/firmware; RIO runs on Mesa hardware here.
Mesa gateware does not support W5500 modules.

After 15 years of google drive, and running a Synology NAS, I have moved to on site (at home) for all my emails and web sites. But I started using cloudflare for dns. Should I do that?

The standard qtpyvcp is not pi5 compatible, it requires a special build, this is likely why you're having issues. I don't use pi so I'm not the best source of help, I think rodw has a deb file build available, maybe he will chime in.

No can't help. QTPYVCP would need to support the Pi5 in its repository. Installing Debian 13 on the Pi might now be a solution but they don't seem to offer a img for the pi5. 

Great job. It just looks like a drawing .
How much did it cost to make that blue part?

I've decided to immediately apply a 1:3 reduction ratio, which translates to 25mm (15T) or 20mm (12T) of displacement per revolution.

I want to listen to the advice of  rodw and  tommylight

This will change the design somewhat. I think I'll place the linear guide directly on the underside of the tubes to reduce contamination.

Slowly, all the parts are arriving, and I've started welding the table. Unfortunately, I have limited time

There is now support for a Mesa board: eusurplus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=131
It can be used via RPI over SPI and over Ethernet via W5500



There are also developments in the new configuration front end, but it is still far from complete.

PS: Many thanks to EUSurplus for their support!

Tommy,

Oh ok... I still have my working 2.7 install... yeah lean't long ago to always keeps what is working.

I'll do the 2.7 install on the new computer and see if that works and it runs smooth.

UPDATE:

2.7 hates my Z420 Workstation... installs but runs slow and when I setup and Launch Linuxcnc program the window is blank with "no file" in the top title.

My old machine is a HP xw4600 Workstation and it runs Linuxcnc great but I thought I would "future proof" my setup with something "less old".

2.9 runs fine on the Z420 but just not usable with the way it runs the stepper motors.

If there is nothing that you actually need 2.9, you should have stuck with 2.7, so here is the ISO
www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso
If you still want to try to use 2.9, you can try installing the RTAI kernel and corresponding LinuxCNC version from the downloads page, near the bottom of the page, all 3 last links on that page (not counting the link to COC).

It work now.
