So, how can I open this config.txt on the RPi5?

You can edit the file whilst the system is running only thing is you'll have to open it as superuser....use sudo, if you don't know how to do that just google "sudo". It'll be easier as you'll find something you can understand.

Never, ever run

sudo rm -rf / as you'll destroy your system, just in case you see someone recommending doing this.

I'm always use sudo to edit files for network, autologin and else.

But this image for RPi5 i can't understand, how to set up. (no standart configs...)
Left HDMI audio, resolution and the orientation...
But I have no clue which tutorial to use...

Post your hal & ini files, the actual one your are using. It helps, it really does.

You can put basically any modprobe options in there for anything and it load the module with the parameters.
The file could be called "dumb_effing_card.conf" with the entries for the adapter and it'd work. It just makes life easier having the parameters in a file with descriptive name. If you have a few different modules that need custom params it just makes it easier 6 months down the road.

So I'm quite new to all this and was trying to run linuxcnc on a Pi5, and I was trying to see if I can at least get a stepper spinning using the gpio pins.
I ran through the stepconf wizard and then replaced the content in the .hal file with the demo hal file .
Linuxcnc failed to start with the following message

what should I do to fix this?
here's the hal and ini file used
 
 


 

This is your issue
Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
./custom.hal:5: parameter or pin 'plasmac.ohmic-sense-off-delay' not found

If the change to the display was all you made change it back to the original.

A bit of advice, back things up before messing around, saves a lot of headaches.
It helps to post the hal & ini files, it's hard to say "this is it, do x & y" without your files.

You probably want to change this line in your ini file:

DISPLAY=qtvcp qtdragon

To this:

DISPLAY=qtdragon

( Your ini file is /home/seb/linuxcnc/configs/cnc/cnc.ini )

You are right. There is a config.txt file and it looks like the opened one on the PC via card reader.
I will try it.
Thanks.

centroid might be a solution for you. It is more expensive than lcnc. But it is relatively affodable.

Hello, how can I contact you?

You'll have to look around in /boot

Sorry should have mentioned that.

How to use this image, to configure it?
Is there a step by step instructions?
There are a lot of Youtube videos, but none helps with this image...
