In my opinion, you should use this image that Linuxcnc already has, and copy the configurations you're already using.

The ability to change the resolution and orientation is already available in the tools available on the desktop.

If I saw correctly, on your image the LCNC not the stable version.
How can I copy the system settings I have made? (not LCNC cofigs)
So, really, is there no video driver to install and solve the problem? (easy way, like in windows - uninstall the old, install the new and set it as needed)

Not really understand, why is in the downloads an image with a lot of "issues" and no mentions about it...
In most cases, at first, people trying the image and if there some problems, try to solve it an go to the forum.
This issues was known in January. Newbie people spending days and weeks in nowhere...

Hi, thank you for your help. But changing the name didn't work.  I just made a compiled new configuration. I think it is faster and better in the long run too. I'm afraid it will bite me in the … later on. If I don't find every mistake I made.

What tools are they ?

I could never work out how to do it. This was the biggest issue I had when I was testing rod's images. Using a HDMI to DVI converter had resolution stuck at 600x480. Starting with the RaspiOS image and adding the RT kernel gave no issues, had full control of resolution.
One thing that should be added to the docs is the location of the config files and a mention that the RPi5 is not compatible with SPI due to the hardware changes to the RPi5 rather than stating that it is.

I recently came across this video on YouTube where author has modified the ProbeBasic UI to hide one of the two file managers.



Gave this some thought and I realize that their are two distinct use cases for the File tab in ProbeBasic.

The use case which ProbeBasic currently seems to be designed for is the use of USB-drives and similar physical media to copy the files to and from the CNC machine in question. In this case two file managers is great as it simplifies the copying/moving of files.

The second use case is when a network share is used to load the files from. In this case the second file manager is of no use as no files are copied or moved. In this case having one larger file manager instead is very helpful as it allows for more information to be displayed.

There is no right or wrong here as both use cases are valid and fairly common. But maybe a configuration setting could added to toggle the display of one or two file managers?

 

If the the setting is set to display only one file manager the elements crossed out on the screenshot above are hidden and the remaining file manager is enlarged to fill the whole screen.




 

Hi, thanks for the reply, given that I use Fanuc every day, I attach the screen and obviously press the icon in the top left corner. Another thing I noticed is that if I wanted to center myself in a round pocket, with versaprobe it doesn't let me write the theoretical diameter, with basicprobe it does. Despite this, in the round pocket (using automatic XY hole probing) I never get the same probing, it happens that the first probing for in others it goes into the wrong positions and goes into alarm. However, in no case is the origin X0 Y0 correct. Linuxcnc I downloaded it from here, I went from 2.8 to 2.9.2 after struggling a lot with latency until using isolcpus. One thing I had to do was readjust the .ini and .hal file from 2.8 to 2.9.2 because it was giving me problems and it didn't work with the automatic script. If you wanted you could attach my configuration files. Thank you

Glad you got it going. Auto Volts is good to use if you have a reasonably good quality plasma machine as it keeps to the specified height better as the electrode wears.
 

You need to addf the read and write functions to thread1
(after you load the drivers)
and start threads before any I/O will be done to the card:

loadrt threads
addf hm2_7i92.0.read thread1
addf hm2_7i92.0.write thread1
start



You can also do simple I/O tests with mesaflash:

mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 192.168.1.121 --wpo 0x1300=0x00001 # open drain register value for open drain on bit 0 =  P2.1
mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 192.168.1.121 --wpo 0x1100=0x00001 # ddr register value to enable output on bit 0 = P2.1
mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 192.168.1.121 --rpo 0x1000 # read gpio inputs on port P2
mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 192.168.1.121 --wpo 0x1000=0x00001 # set output bit 0 high = P2.1
mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 192.168.1.121 --rpo 0x1000 # read gpio inputs on port P2
 

Quick question on this. 

Is there a way to configure the arisc module to control a cw and ccw pulse rather than step/dir ?

I got it running just fine with step/dir, but i have a rather old and somewhat difficult to change servo/amp that can only be run using cw and ccw pulse mode.

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to test the GPIO pins on a Mesa board 7i92t with no success.
This is what I did. I removed the jumpers W1 and W2 for the default pull-up resistors. On P2-01 I connected a 500Ohms pull-up resistor to +5VDC. 
On a terminal I entered:
halrun
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="192.168.1.121" config="num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=0 num_dplls=0"
setp hm2_7i92.0.gpio.000.is_output 1
setp hm2_7i92.0.gpio.000.is_opendrain 1

I connected a voltmeter across P2-01 pin and ground. The voltmeter was showing closed to 5 volts.
I played with setp hm2_7i92.0.gpio.000.out TRUE and setp hm2_7i92.0.gpio.000.out FALSE  expecting the voltage to change between 0V and 5V on the voltmeter. But no change, the voltage stays 5V.
What am I doing wrong?

I mention that I have communication with the board, and "show pin" confirmed all pins are GPIO.
 

Ok that is 40 steps per mm times 25.4 for inches = 1016 steps per inch.

Also, why switchable kinematics on a 4 axis machine? Is there any machine that benefits from it?

Yeah start again.

No step & dir for A axis in your hal file

Ciao. La sezione QtVCP sarebbe la migliore, ma l'ho vista comunque qui.

Puoi mostrare un'immagine di tutte le impostazioni della sonda Versa nella scheda di sondaggio? Inoltre, quale pulsante di sondaggio hai premuto per avviare il processo?
Infine, come hai ottenuto LinuxCNC? Proveniva dai repository Debian ufficiali o da linuxcnc?
