Out of curiosity, how much is a RPI and a good touchscreen these days?
Wondering as i got a Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga for 120 and a Lenovo Yoga Y370 for 220, bot work for LinuxCNC with Mesa, both have 120Hz touchscreens, very high quality ones, very good keyboards, and both do over 4-6 hours on batteries.

Rod  i did some digging and found out that this Machine has been done with THCAD before. the person that did this has some YouTube videos and i found this image on here. this is basically the exact same setup i was going to do minus the THCAD since i was not sure on that part; I watched the videos and in the video he said the THCAD-300 would have been a better choice with this machine. the only thing i noticed was that the THCAD-300 seems to be for only scratch start HF machines? this machine has a 1:1 ratio but has the blow back start so which would be better the THCAD-2 or the HTCAD-300 ?

Also, USB C should work with a USB C to A adapter, but in your case only with USB A 3.n version, not with USB 2 versions.
USB 1, 1.1, 2 use 4 pins, USB 3 uses 9 pins, Type C uses 18 pins, but some are for monitor signals .... so is the USB C used for monitor and touch? If yes, then no adapter works. Cr@p, only recalled this while typing.
 

The instruction pamphlet goes on an on about the virtues of using a full featured USB-C port because no HDMI connection is required, video, touch sound all over that single connection, however Pi does not have USB-C.

The instructions then go on to state if you connect the ports in a particular order that you can get the touch working in tandem with the HDMI port but I have tried all combinations and perhaps this might work on a Windows machine (I doubt it), but looks like I need to find another touchscreen, one that does not rely on a USB-C port for the touch signals.
Thanks

You can check on github:

2.8:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.8/src/hal/components/pid.c

2.9:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.9/src/hal/components/pid.c

[edit]

the differ by two commits:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/bab0...0737b15cba7bdce50a5d
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/a882...ef79379518f8dd3973f9

[edit 2]
you can compile 'pid.c' ('sudo' is not required if you have a locally built installation (RIP-install)):
For the 'halcompile' tool you need to have the 'linuxcnc-dev' package installed

that kinematic does not have a pin called 'skewkins.skew'. Try 'skewkins.skew-y':

 

It is available: packages.debian.org/trixie/arm64/python3.12

Did you try to install with: sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace ?
Otherwise first: sudo apt install python3.12

This is my dog now, fluffy white thing good only for cleaning shoes with it

And this is what it did to my hand a while back

Topic those pictures are from and dates of bite marks here:

Yes this all actions I did,

and I have some machines with custom drivers such ass e1000, e100,8139too ... but I did install 2.9.2 over rods steps and just reinstall ethercat master over thread and it works from first shot ... after
but now I tried everythnig what is in the my fantasy and it is still in the

This one has another problem which its python is 3.12 and linuxcnc cant be installed on it!
I did many efforts on it since you provided this link in order to downgrade its python but still no result.

Well after playing with a 10" display, it's okayish but not usable from a touchscreen perspective. I also played with touchy a bit, but prefer the axis GUI.

So moved things around a bit to make some space and will use a larger probably 14-16" touchscreen. I ordered a 14" Amazon BlackFriday special to try out and size is about right, unfortunately this particular display requires a full featured USB-C port to get the "touches" back and does not seem to be able to get them back with a regular type A USB interface. So the search continues.....

I do have another display related question...
Somehow I setup the axis interface on my Milling machine so that the axis GUI can occupy/share the title bar space at the top. I don't know how to do this on the new "lathe" axis GUI.  This matters because when I set the resolution to 1024x768 the bottom sliver of the axis GUI (where the status and error messages get displayed) is off screen at the bottom.

So how do I get axis to share that top title bar space?

Can we all take a moment and appreciate how adorable that photo is of Tommylight's dog biting his boot?

Thanks guys!

I learned something and it works.

Hi
I want somebody help
I think now my CNC problem seem this topic.
My CNC XYZ  and Y correct  linear move 
my X axis table on Y-axis base it's Skewed angle .

Good rule.
