What I meant of course was

s12000 m3
 

Thanks langdons, that would be the last step if others fails. There are a lot of things i would have to setup again, such as wireless Handwheel, Probe basic, the TooTall18T probing routine and others that work fine at the moment, so I am a little afraid that i get more problems as today. I'm not a coder and not very familiar with all that stuff.

Thanks PCW, I will try that tomorrow and give you feedback.
This file works and let the spindle turn:
M03 S6000 G04 P120
S12000 G04 P120
S18000 G04 P120
S22000 G04 P120
M05
M30

Kind regards!

So you are saying that if you enter:

s12000 m3

 (in the MDI tab)

That spindle.0.on remains false?
 

Thanks, just the info I needed.

I'd trust your judgement.

It's amazing how often intuition is spot-on.

Maybe try making a new quick-and-dirty config?

When my CNC wasn't working quite right, I made a new, identical config with stepconf.

It fixed it.

Yes, the 7I92XX replaces the parallel port interface.

A 7I92TF will work with the same parallel port cable you currently use.
(male-male IEEE1284 type) so you should not need any additional cables.
A 7I92TM will plug directly into a G540, but that's quite awkward mechanically.

As far as the kernel goes that's included in the LinuxCNC 2.9.4 ISO, so installing
that ISO will install a preempt-RT kernel. (The 7I92 requires a Preempt-RT kernel)

As far as Mini-PCs go, it's better to use one with Intel Ethernet hardware,
as the common Realtek Ethernet chips often have realtime issues.

I have confirmed, there is a focus issue. I need to click G54 or ABS or similar to move focus before the space bar works. That caused one slightly panicky moment when I hit it and nothing happened. (Fortunately, the code was right so it was fine, I just got scared for a moment.) Is there a way to set focus on cycle start or eliminate the need to move focus?

Doesn’t work. Says “does not have release file”

Hi,
I have a Sherline 5400 CNC that has been in storage and I am planning on getting it up and running again (it's been some years).  I am computer shopping and weighing options and looking into what has changed.  My previous setup was a PC Tower with a Parallel port running to a Gecko 540.  Instead of replacing that setup in-kind, I am looking into using a small form factor (or mini) computer with a MESA ethernet card.  Am I understanding things correctly that I can use a small/mini computer with ethernet, run it to a MESA 7i92TF, which in turn runs to my Gecko 540 (thereby skipping a PCIe parallel port card)?  Also do I need to worry about male/female couplings for the MESA DB25 (7i92TF vs 7i92TM) or can it be managed with gender changers (not ideal) or are there signal considerations with gender changers?  Finally, to confirm, I should be using the preempt-RT kernel if I am going to use MESA ethernet?
 
I have been reading here and the docs, but I am still a little overwhelmed playing catchup and appreciate any guidance before I purchase a PC and MESA Card.

Thanks,
Tom

You are not, it is a remnance of a Debian f@kup that is still dragging on.

Most probably not, proprietary NVIDIA drivers did not work at all on RT-Preempt kernel last i tried over a year ago.
You are welcomed, always.

I have read your description on usinages.com (I'm french).
I have bought Delta motors from Movitecnic in France, they are really helpful and have good prices.
I used Leadshine on stepper system only, it was ok.

Not exactly sure but i think that is the wrong buildbot, try
buildbot.linuxcnc.org

Ok I cannot make any sense of this I have been trying to update to 2.10 for the past few hours thinking that 2.9 might be the root of anll my problems and can’t figure it out. I went into sympathetic package manager then repositories and deleted the two lunixcnc.com lines and refreshed. I then created a new one as follows
buildbot2.highlab.com/debian/ 
bookworm
master-uspace

then when I enter “sudo apt update” in the terminal it gives me the error I attached bellow. I have read through these post several times, but just end up more confused each time.

forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ate-from-2-9-to-2-10

Some clarification would be amazing, thank you.

Thank you for this. That did the trick, but I have a couple of questions.
How am I running a raspberry pi all of a sudden?
And
Is it possible to install a nvidia graphics card and still use Linuxcnc?
Thanks again
