Seems to suggest it is LinuxCNC, but the email address at 7:01 makes me wonder if it is GRBL.
The UI looks unfamiliar, except for the preview pane.

At that price I am tempted to get one to play with.

The problem is solved. I add HALUI in my INI file and use a scale function. Now I can modify the laser power using the slide during the work. Thanks.

maybe u need try to compile from source code and install

In my experience, I have found that changes you make in the GUI will not be saved if you do not use the file/quit to exit. I know for sure the the machine position is not saved.

Does anybody know how to install EtherCAT support on Debian 13? linuxcnc-ethercat is not in the repositories yet. Also the EtherLab repositories do not show Debian_13 yet, so I guess I just have to wait until things become available, but perhaps somebody has already been playing with it. 

Awesome. Thanks so much. I'll give it try.

Yes, I think you’re right. I haven’t been able to check the machine again yet since it’s not mine – I’m just trying to help out a friend – but it probably does have a brake, considering the previous controller was only 2.5 axes.
Now, what I’d like to ask for some advice on: if I want to keep the option of adding more expansions in the future and also a control pendant, would the 7i74 be a good choice? I see that it’s mentioned as a supported configuration in the 6i25 manual, so it seems like it could give me more I/O and flexibility.

I am putting together a complete,new, backup computer for my machine. (after a lightning storm took out my previous computer.)

I downloaded Linux-2.7.14 wheezy.iso  and used rufus.ie to make a usb image.
The new computer won't go past the boot screen. I fiddled around with the boot order etc but still no go.

I downloaded the latest version Debian 12 bookworm preempt-rt iso, made a usb image, and it starts right up to the install screen.

Is there something I need to do to make the older version start? I don't want to upgrade to the current version.because I would have to change a lot of things in my configuration.

I am running my previous backup computer currently. I suppose that I could clone the hard drive , or something like that.

"Wow, thanks for the super fast reply.The support from the Mesa team has always been top-notch. It's really impressive how you guys are always there to help.

Thank you so much for the detailed information. Your support, as always, is invaluable. This helps me a lot.

Thanks again!"

Hi, I’m working on wiring issues with an Orion PD200 CNC lathe. Could someone please share or upload the wiring diagram of the machine? It would be very helpful. Many thanks.

To set the PID for the spindle speed, I had to set FF0 before setting P and I, otherwise it would go straight to maximum speed.
So, I started the same process, I reassessed everything, except for trying to set FF0 to 0 and only play with P and I.
I just did it, and ohhhh!!! It moves and stops (only for small angular movements, about 10 degrees, and it's not always reproducible). Above that, it's unstable and starts spinning at full speed.

Well, first of all, it's not a hardware problem, the hal seems to be working, I need to look at the PID values ​​again.

By being so obsessed with it, you end up losing sight of the basic elements... thanks for putting this back on track...

your orient pid params in ini file, their values is 0, why?
you need to gradually debug these values.
all are 0 it's wrong. At least P and D have non-zero values.
