Sadly there is no such ISO file, perhaps there should be, but alas, there is not.

You can install LinuxCNC version 2.9.4 from either of these links:

linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso
www3.langdonstaab.ca/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso

Well done sir

Beware of ChatGPT.

Cool though!

The chances are slim, I sorry to say.

If someone does have experience, thery ain't talkin'.

I've found a setup on the forums using Leadshine EL8 drivers and trying to work from there. Setup I'm following.
I've attached the hal, ini and ethercat.xml files. It doesn't load, I get the following error.


Not surprising as I've pruned the file down from 5 drives and a spindle to 1, different brand drives etc.

I've used the xml file that I generated.

Am I on the right track at all?[/code][/url]

well, I got totally nerd-sniped by this, so here we go: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3587

Hit another little snag with the homing. I have it set up for index homing. I have the call out in the hal to enable it but in the halmeter I was trying to catch it hit the index but nothing popped up on the scope. I'm not sure if it is indicative of hitting the index but the x axis is very close to where it is home and each time I hit the home button it jogs either way towards it but then faults out with two "cannot unhome while homing" errors and usually a "joint0 following error." If I understand the following error that means it is not where the computer thinks it should be? I am considering bringing my actual oscilloscope out to the garage to watch the signal if I can't figure it out.

Ok, I feel a bit lost on how to proceed with actually getting my drive connected in HAL.
My previous machine was using MESA hardware and pncconf did most of the heavy lifting, at least giving me a working hal and ini file to work from. As it is I'm struggling to find good tutorials or videos online that actually spell out how to get an axis drive connected and a motor moving. The one video I found (showing a full setup from scratch) gets to the cia402 stage and just says "I wont go into detail on the cia402 setup" and then just shows a moving motor... which makes me think I'm missing something really obvious.

You can also follow the signal into the plasmac component.
​​​​plasmac.move_up and plasmac.move_down should be the same as your digital inputs.
If you want to see what the plasmac component does, it is only some 20 lines of code
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...s/plasmac.comp#L1911
the led up and led down reflect the move_up and move_down input to plasmac.
Can help to isolate the problem.

-Turn OFF the plasma
-draw a circle in the wizard, some 10cm diameter
-set the Proma THC150 to test mode with at least 5 seconds of time between changes
-put something about 3-5cm above the plate for the probing and remove after probe
-run the circle with the torch ON in QtPlasmaC
Do not turn the plasma ON while testing this.

The 7I95T identifies as a 7I95 (even in hal) mainly so 7I95 configs will work with it.

I tried that too. I even reinstalled LinuxCNC and changed all the pins — same problem

I do not know, i only had 7i95 without the T.

Thanks, it works but one more thing.
Even tho its a 7i95T is it normal that it only says 7i95

Moved to "PlasmaC" section.
I am sure this same thing was posted before here, so what happened?

Checked your files twice, seems OK, so check the wiring although from your description should be OK.
Since i can not find anything wrong and there is an issue, the quickest solution would be to make a new config.
