Yes, it will be really helpful if you can share this sample and how it's implemented step by step, even if the topic is about probe basic rack implementation it should merge on it somehow

You could also try installing Debian Trixie from the debian image now its available
raspi.debian.net/daily-images/

Note that this will not install a desktop, just a console but it will have a preempt_rt kernel available. I did do up a doc on doing this for Debian Bullseye which will basically be the same.

The name for xfce package might have changed search the debian packages for XFCE to get the right name today.

That board is rather expensive. Can get beckhoff kit for less.

I laid out the terminal block rail, seems like everything will be fairly simple so far.

Once again thanks mate.

I'm going to play around with making an RPi5 image based on Trixie\Testing so I'll give it a whirl.

You might as well use the provided image becasue you basically end up with Trixie (with 6.1.2 kernel) and 2.9.4 already installed.

I'm using the one linked in this post successfully so far.  forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0

I haven't tested the center-punch functionality, but did test the small hole functionality on 3/8" holes and they turned out pretty well.

A couple things I learned along the way:
  make sure merge circles if unchecked when posting
  if you have multiple setups, you have to go to the operations tab in the post window and select them all.  They aren't all selected by default.
 

Once again thanks mate.

From memory there was some disparity between the English definition of billion and the US.
English was 12 zeros whilst the US was 9.

Look if NASA can have stuff ups with one team using imperial measurements and the other using metric any kind of stuff up and confusion is possible. Mars Climate Orbiter it was.

One thing I didn't know is that the definition of inch,foot,yard,chain,blah,blah is actually based on the inch being 25.4 mm. Tho once again different countries early in the 20th century had different ideas. From the doco I saw it was implied that the invention of slip gauges or "joe blocks" kind of pushed it to the front.
Carl Edvard Johansson the guy accredited with the invention of them modified his Wife's sewing machine to make the first set.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block

Look under the bit titled history.

No you'll need to use the RPi with a 6.1.x kernel, which should work. Rod has raised the issue regarding Ethercat not supporting 6.12 (anything higher than 6.1 I'd guess).

That's the trap when releasing a new image, some will want the latest kernel and then some, like yourself will require an earlier version. Can't keep everyone happy.

Sorry for any confusion and such, Ethercat is too rich for me, but once it's all sorted I'll be sure to test the Ethercat install works, wont be able to test any actual hardware but the actual install and building of modules I'll test.

And a final thanks for actually supplying the messages and such, much much better than "doesn't work".

Cheers

Dang it, i forgot the metric-imperial war! Shame on me!
-
We have the same silicium-silicon thing going on here with the milliard-billion nomenclature, and the strange thing is very few people actually remember that, despite being fully grown at the time that was used (milliard instead of billion, billion here had 12 zeros, milliard had 9), and it was a standard taught in schools from the first grade, now i have people older than me insisting that was never the case, while some luckily do clearly remember that as at one point in time we had a bank note with 9 zeros during the recession that never ended and the money was worth less than the paper it was printed on (yes i know it is not paper)!
It is astonishing how selective a human mind can be, probably coping system with bad-good memories and depending on what part the things in question got showed into.

Yeah I thought imperial was a thing of the past, until I started to build my Myford ML7/Super 7 Franken Lathe. Turned out I had to invest in some weirdo Whitworth BA sockets & stuff.

Imperial spanners are easy to recognise, they are the ones bought when Sidchrome was actually good.

Finally got my cards and I should note (to save others some time)
that to run the Eletechsup modbus  25IOC32 card using the MODBUS
functions 2 and 15, You need to short solder jumper M0 on the card.

They seem to work as expected
 

It suggested to use the 10.10.10.10 address for the Mesa FPGA card

Because the 192.168.1.121 is often part of a local network NAT range
(so packets get sent out to the local network rather the the Mesa card)

suggested host address is 10.10.10.100

Thanks for a smooth transaction Brad.
To anyone interested, I still have 3 available.

Thanks
Chich.

Man, I should have charged commission!

I woud not mind betting the checksum was never updated on the last release. I am sure checksums are unecessary today.
As said, just use it!
