Seems a bit over the hedge, i mentioned multiple times that for under 100$ it is very OK, but 279$ i can not justify nor advise any longer.

I've done that, quite obviously. I think it is better to save time and skip obvious advices, I have 20 years of in-depth professional experience with Linux behind my back.

The real issue is that the package depends on the version of python3 that trixie doesn't provide, as can be seen here :

Depends: python3 (<< 3.12), python3 (>= 3.11~),

amd64 package depends on 3.13 :

Depends: python3 (<< 3.14), python3 (>= 3.13~),

It looks like a simple oversight more than anything else, those things happen. If it is, I hope it gets corrected soon!

Version from here: kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_star...l#installation-steps

- How did you install Probe Basic? Quickstart guide? Dev Guide?
I followed the quickstart guide.

I get an error when I run the third command 'sudo dpkg -i python3-qtpyvcp_5.0.2-19.dev_amd64.deb'
The download folder shows the file.

Thank you for fixing this, Andy, the new key works just fine!

However, the debian package itself seems to have a broken python3 dependency. I'm on the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite (which is basically trixie with a custom kernel and a few Pi-specific tools installed). Any particular reason for the arm64 package to want python3 < 3.12? amd64 one depends on 3.13, and so does linuxcnc-uspace 2.9.4 that comes with trixie.

$ sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace

Waveshare do an add ethernet adaptor that connects via the pcie bus, they also do one that has a Nvme drive and an ethernet adaptor.
The Odroids have Realtek adapters, so there's that to think about, but I didn't have any issues although I did install the dkms drivers. Then again the Odroid has Nvme and sata ports built in, so no extra $$$ in that respect.
The N100 with Intel hardware sounds like worthy advice. Decisions decisions.

Everything has been pretty well documented within the package lists and in the commit messages.

I thought a backport would be a package that is in eg Trixie that was been repackaged for Bookworm.

TBH the extra packages may be pulling in too much extra stuff, the ISO weighs in at about 4.1G, which I think is due to suggested packages being installed as well. And TBH I've only included them to make transferring files around a little easier whilst testing. Like I said it's experimentation ATM, whether it's any use upstream I don't know.

Not even going to bother to upload to Google drive and ask for any help testing as it was a waste of time. I guess people are busy.

Were any changes made in the machine?

If you have both Yellow LEDs illuminated, that means power is probably OK

Other possible issues:

1. Cabling from the 5I25/6I25 to the 7I76

2. 7I76 Field voltage too low (check with a voltmeter)

3. Jumpering changed? (correct = 7I76 W1 and W3 LEFT)

4. Bad 5I25/6I25 or wrong firmware (again was anything changed?)

5. Bad 7I76

Thank you for the suggestions on what to use for the spindle motor. For now, I’ve replaced the spindle motor with another servo motor that is CiA402 compliant. I haven’t set it up yet, as I’ve been building an enclosure to suit and recently started back at university. Disclaimer: The machine has been set up using the instructions kindly shared by Shemj. Probe Basic Machine Interface Issues 1. Unable to home the machine
When I try to use the on-screen buttons to either home the machine or move to the work zero position, nothing happens. Is there something I might be missing in the setup?
this could be to do with the always_homed and homecomp files ? 2. Machine losing position after power-off
When I power off the controller and machine, I expect it to retain its position thanks to the battery backup on the drives. However, when I power it back on, each axis resets to zero instead of remembering its last position. Could this be related to the homing module setup? 3. Lack of continuous jogging in Probe Basic
In other interfaces, there’s an option to jog either continuously or incrementally. Does Probe Basic only support incremental jogging, or is there a way to enable continuous jogging that I’ve overlooked?

Thanks will

Here’s a photo showing the start of the enclosure build — it’s still a work in progress.
