/homeI am not a dense person. I have read A LOT on configuring. I have set up a couple other machines with StepConf. 
Why does this:

look absolutely nothing like this:

when trying to configure this: 

I want to install Probe_Basic. I already had Trixie installed but i couldn't get Probe_Basic to work. Than i got the hint from a community member that Probe_Basic needs Debian Bookworm as the homepage mentions.

Hi everyone,

I’ve just released version 1.1.0 of the io_decoder driver. This update focuses on architectural stability and addressing initial feedback from the community.

What's new in v1.1.0:

Asynchronous Threading: I have moved the keyboard emulation logic (uinput) out of the Real-Time HAL thread and into a dedicated user-space thread. This ensures that any system-level delay in processing keystrokes will never interfere with the real-time performance of the CNC HAL components.

Config File Optimization (Credits to COFHAL): Following COFHAL's feedback regarding parsing errors with comments and blank lines, I have refined the io_decoder-keymap.cfg structure. I've implemented a stricter formatting requirement to keep the driver lightweight and added clear instructions within the config file to prevent GUI warnings.

Full English Translation: The source code and all comments have been fully translated to English for better accessibility.

Clean Exit: Improved the cleanup routine to ensure proper thread termination and resource release upon hal_exit.

You can find the updated source code, documentation, and the new pre-packaged ZIP on GitHub and the project landing page:

GitHub Repository: github.com/bobwolfrst/io_decoder-linuxCNC Project Page & Downloads: bobwolfrst.github.io/io_decoder-linuxCNC/

A big thanks to COFHAL for the valuable feedback. I’m looking forward to hearing from more testers about how the new threading model performs on different hardware setups!

Happy milling!

Which GUI are you using? I seem to recall that Axis needs to be on the manual tab for jogging to work.

Can you share your HAL file?

Crumbs I was sure that the angle used in M19, was the angle after an index pulse, but can see now its after the enable edge. Guess I cannot get the index to trigger the enable. Pulling oneself up by the bootlaces I expect.
I've been wondering whey I never really followed the logic behind how those on the forum have got tool changing to work.
So what is orient intended to do as I cannot picture what it can do if not related to a fixed point on the spindle.
A index relatable orient sounds like what I'd like, but not really got a clue how to start looking at that. Perhaps a bolt on python bit, a language I'm completely unfamiliar with. I'll do some research.
Thanks Andy.

1) Why Bookworm and not Trixie?
2) Why not just install from the ISO image?

It looks like the automatic updater has not updated the manual page to reflect anything since 2.9.4.

You can see what the page is meant to currently say here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...etting-linuxcnc.adoc

Thanks a lot.
I am attaching my ldscript which I made based on existing ldscripts included in repository. And attaching my platformio.ini.

It sounds like the servo amps are being enabled without the PIDs being enabled.

Start LinuxCNC from the command-line and make sure that there are no error messages in there.

I don't think that Orient uses index.
(It probably should, and adding spindles to the homing sequence is something that I meant to do and seem to have forgotten).
If you were to set the spindle-index-enable in the HAL file then the encoder would be aligned to index as soon as it does a revolution in spindle mode.
The "orient" component exists specifically to account for the many thousands of accumulated turns accumulated in the spindle encoder counter.
If you wanted to re-index on every orient then one way would be to create a modified version of "orient" that outputs an index-enable and that also commands an initial position command morfe than one turn from the starting postition until the index reset is detected. 

Hello,
I've been trying unsuccessfully all weekend to get the latest Debian Bookworm with the latest Linuxcnc preempt-rt up and running. Since I have little experience with Linux, I'm reaching my limits. 
I downloaded and installed Debian Bookworm 12.13. Now I wanted to follow these instructions linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/g...th_preempt_rt_kernel , point 7 (with preempt-RT kernel). Would that be correct so far? 
At point 3, Open Applications Menu > System > Synaptic Package Manager, search for linux-image, right-click on the original non-rt, and select Mark for Complete Removal, I don't know which original non-rt I have to select. I have attached a screenshot.
Otherwise, please attach Linux terminal commands so I can quickly achieve my goal.

Greetings from Germany and many thanks.

I created a topic, went into it and - 403 Forbidden. What is it? How to fix?

Hello everyone, we've now integrated several pushbuttons and switches. The signals are being received and are functioning correctly. However, a new problem has arisen: as soon as I switch on the machine, the X and Y axes start moving immediately, and Linux CNC goes into error mode. I don't recall ever having this problem before. Nothing has been changed in the wiring. Perhaps someone has a crucial suggestion.

You might try increasing the interval (it's in microseconds so 1000 is just one ms)
And that may be too fast for the Omron

I will look into getting a MX2 to try to have some way of duplicating the issue.
