It's Official. Left to PCB fab an hour ago and so I should receive this badboy in 5~7days. Looking forward enjoying LinuxCNC-RIO over traced hardware (farewell jumper wires and cheap modules, at last). My very first "True Isolated" motion control board!! 

Can you tell me with an example how to do a key remapping?

See bottom of first answer and the attached file there.

Yeah can be confusing those MIN/MAX, pos/neg, sensors, logic levels, it's endless. Took me a while to set-up my mill correctly back when I've introduced Lcnc to it.

Shout out if you're stuck. Pleasure btw, be safe and have fun.

Done.
Thank you.

Seems like the udev rules part of the instructions need redoing

I started this project three years ago.
and relied in my experience of my first machine with prob basic. So i used my knowledge from five to six years ago. so there was not much documentation how to setup user tabs especially to find with my skills and my personal dislike for python.
I'll have a look at the latest Samples. And see where it brings me maybe there are now examples with user tabs.
But also a look at qtdragon was quite promising but its lacking a lathe interface for other projects. And I would like to have a similar look and feel.

Yes, that was probably me over on Discord.
In terms of hardware I wanted to use the 2040 because it is rather cheap and I can get it pretty easy.
I have managed to make a spindle work with stepgen in the past. I am just a little unsure how to connect it to remora. My thought is that in remora I just add a velocity joint in addition to my other joints/linear axis. And then connect the spindle.0.speed-out-rps to the remora.joint.0.vel-cmd. But I think I got a little confused with what an actual joint is in linux-cnc.
That thread what scotta linked was actually from me.
If I notice that remora with rp2040 can't obtain the step rates it is cheap "fail", and then I will investigate other options.
Thank you.

Looking good on Pi4 with SPI connection to my Remora-style PRU.

hi
i have upgrdded my kernel to 6.1.0-23-rt-amd64 from 6.1.0-13-rt-amd64
since then, i have to remove ethercat-dkms libethercat libethercat-dev ethercat-master and reinstall them and linuxcnc-ethercat on every boot
i have followed post 1 of this thread completely .
this is error code when i want to start linuxcnc
"Failed to open /dev/EtherCAT0: No such file or directory"

What exactly do you mean where you don't know how mine works?

On the picture you reposted there is no indication which remora.input is which. That's why I've used the one I've attached. Over there it's clear that for example estop input is remora.input.04, probe is input.05 etc. So the INP3 (on your picture) is really input.06.
It is correct as I've check it.

I've given up on the core machines, personally not worth the time or effort mucking around with.

One thing that may help is taking the PC apart and cleaning it.

Tested with LMDE 6 with lastest updates and still reboot issue when starting linuxcnc with 6i25 + 7i77 & lathe hw attached.
No error messages, kernel log just show normal messages and then booting up information. What to do next?

Sorry if wrong topic but would this be possible with pokeys57cnc?

It is great controller card but I would prefer not to use mach3/4

Short answer is no,
long answer, you can modify the SKR1.4 firmware to work with the RPi/SPI, but there is no ethernet version

In your configuration folder, you should see a 'qtvcp' folder.
In that folder add 'images' and 'widgets_ui' folders.

for versa:
in the images folder copy 'probe_icons' from share/qtvcp/images/probe_icons
In the folder widgets_ui copy anything with versa in the name from share/qtvcp/widgets_ui

for basic_probe same idea
in the images folder copy widgets/basic_probe_help and widgets/basic_probe_icons
In the folder widgets_ui copy anything with basic in the name from share/qtvcp/widgets_ui

if you run qtdragon with the - i or -d debugging on you should see text like this in terminal:

[QTvcp.QTVCP.QT_PSTAT][INFO] Using LOCAL widget file from: /home/chris/emc/configs/sim/qtdragon/qtdragon_tool_probe/qtvcp/widgets_ui/ (qt_pstat.py:329)
[QTvcp.QTVCP.QT_PSTAT][INFO] Using LOCAL images path from: /home/chris/emc/configs/sim/qtdragon/qtdragon_tool_probe/qtvcp/images/ (qt_pstat.py:346)

Now you can modify those files in your configuration folder and qtdragon will use them instead.
