Yes I had forgotten, its the RPI3 that uses USB --> Ethernet
I should know since I have run a Mesa Ethernet card from a RPI4.

 (I think some RPI4 --> Ethernet motion card users needed to increase
the servo thread period to 2 ms to get it to run reliably)

Cant do this anymore bye all wrote:

I was always under the impression that up to version 3 the ethernet was on the USB bus and 4 and after were on the PCIe bus.

Me too !

Disable "secure boot" in PC's BIOS.

I was always under the impression that up to version 3 the ethernet was on the USB bus and 4 and after were on the PCIe bus.

Lenovo are the same, still an easier option than messing around with a PCI or PCIe card.

This post  has been edited to suit a pressure sensor on a analog input.

I tried this but I got an error like
./my-mill.hal:57: Pin 'somePin' does not exist

You probably need the command in a postgui hal file as the pin won't exist until the gui is created.

I'm installing LinuxCNC on a new old computer.
I got toe error "caught signal 11 - dumping core".
I wonder what I am doing wrong?

Here is the report that was generated.

If you read this far, thank you very much!  What is the problem?
Thanks,

Stepconf will not help to make a Mesa step/dir configuration,
you need to use pncconf (or mesact) for that
 

This is where my lack of experience with linuxcnc hurts me. I started my hal with the configurator. But I new a guy that had the same machine and it was running, but he went with analog axis servos. Alot of code I copied and pasted changing addressing where I needed to, It took quite a bit before I could get it to open in linuxcnc with out errors. I use a step config to make a basic profile and look at it and it looks very different. But as I said it only allows parport addressing. I think now that I have drivers and motors not on machine but connected to linuxcnc, I will probably need to make a basic configuration and play with that until the motors drive as needed, at least then I will know I have the addressing correct. From there I will have to figure out how to blend the files. Problem it is not a simple file.Tool changers, mux switches with hecti decimal and all sorts. Hell right now I can't get the spindle to turn and that is the one think that is exactly the same as the machine that I copied the file from. Pinout, addressing, hal file all the same but it just sits there laughing at me. That I am sure is somehow an address issue, but if I have linuxcnc running and the machine in run state, if I turn the spindle it errors with a joint to position follow or something like that so it is reading the encoder.but i don't think it should be joint 2. Any ways I digress. Tomorrow is another day.
Thanks for input, it is always appreciated.

On the PC, what does
ip a
in a terminal return?

pncconf can setup step/dir and analog servo systems (they end up being very similar at the hal level)

That is, if you select a 7I76E in pnconf, the axis/joint setup is all step/dir as a 7I76E by
itself only supports step/dir motion.

If you setup say a 7I92+7I77 configuration, it will setup an analog servo system

from what I can tell the pnconfig doesn't give the option for step/direction, and the stepper configurator doesn't do addressing other than parport, so the mesa addressing would have to all be put in later. Im not at the shop now so I can't show what the set up is now, but to me it looks like its analog when it need to be step and dir.. I did attach my hal and ini in the first post.

If you're creating a custom GUI have a look at Flex GUI as that is exactly what it's made for.

If you get the link LED (Yellow) on the RJ45, its not likely a firmware issue
but rather an Ethernet issue.

If you ping the card, do the green LEDs on the 7I96S count up?
