Remove the live usb, wait 5 seconds, insert it, wait 5 sec, press yes and next.

Thank you, I’m getting this… so maybe my SSD is bad. But it’s new so I didn’t know

You can still use Mint19 but finding all the dependencies and coresponding LinuxCNC is not easy.
You can use the 2.8.4 ISO and add the RTAI kernel and RTAI version of LinuxCNC.
This should also be possible on 2.9.3 but i did not try it.

0. Remove the internal hard drive/SSD/NVME

6. Install on the external drive same as when using internal one.

N/O Probe issue

Category: HAL

Im not sure what happened as of late. but I recently have been getting an error with my probe when probing. I keep getting the error "probe is already tripped when starting G38.2 or G38.3 move" blah blah blah.

with the probe plugged in the HALmeter is showing that its "TRUE" and when I actuate the probe it goes to "FALSE"

and here is a link to the probe I have.

here is my HAL code.

Installing LinuxCnc on and SSD

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Wait!

I think I think I remember where to find the instructionsFresh installs of LinuxCNC are most easily created using the Live/Install Image. This is a hybrid ISO filesystem image that can be written to a USB storage device or a DVD and used to boot a computer. At boot time you will be given a choice of booting the "Live" system (to run LinuxCNC without making any permanent changes to your computer) or booting the Installer (to install LinuxCNC and its operating system onto your computer’s hard drive).The outline of the process looks like this:

Download the Live/Install Image.
Write the image to a USB storage device using Rufus.
Boot the Live system to test out LinuxCNC.
Boot the Installer to install LinuxCNC.

I believe that I see what is going on.

There is a variable named MAXPROBE that is called from the INI as follows: #<_ini[VERSA_TOOLSETTER]MAXPROBE>
There is also a variable that is read from the versaprobe screen saved in the qtdragon_hd.pref file as follows: ps_probe_max_z_travel
The variable is also know as max_z_travel is some of the functions.
It appears as if both VARS are used for the same purpose. If I'm not mistaken the documentation indicates that the values are to be set and used in the INI file under VERSA_TOOLSETTER (brackets omitted).

I somewhat ignored the values in the qtdragon_hd.pref file which when I compared were NOT the same values. I know for a fact that my Z will travel more that 115mm which is what it was set at in the pref file. However, in my INI file I have set the value of 150mm which covers the length of all my tools.

Additionally I found a typo which I submitted a pull request a few hours ago.

I'll test this shortly and respond appropriately.

Installing LinuxCnc on and SSD

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hello,

first off I want to apologize. I know this is asked all the time and I have asked it before. Though I always ALWAYS have tons of trouble with this and I don’t know why.

I have an external SSD drive that I want linuxcnc on. I have a usb drive I intend to use as the downloader for that SSD drive. I can never fully figure out how to do this properly.

It will control a plasma CNC table that utilizes an Ethernet mesa card. I do not want a live system. I want a fully functional and programmable one

what do I download onto the usb to format the SSD?

again I’m sorry!

You can select from submenus, but the format isn't well documented and it might take some experimentation to figure out which menu and submenu are which number.
I have:

GRUB_DEFAULT="4>2"

Is that base period or servo period?
In the ini file, do not change the value of servo period, it should be 1000000 (1 million).

For parallel port use the Wheezy ISO from the downloads page.

Your X axis is using reset mode but the spindle is not:

net xstep => parport.0.pin-02-out
setp parport.0.pin-02-out-reset 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
net xdir => parport.0.pin-03-out
net spindle-step => parport.0.pin-04-out

setp stepgen.0.steplen 1 <<<<<<<<
setp stepgen.0.stepspace 0 <<<<<<<<<

Also the spindle scale should be 800 for 800 steps/turn since you
are setting the stepgen velocity in RPS

(it should be 13.33333 if you set the stepgen velocity in RPM)
