To be honest, I was unable to follow you along. "every odd" ?

I have since made some progress. After moving to Firmware 2.10 and hence Drive Manager 2, I managed to get a setup going, that allows me to enable move CW and CCW. However, scaling is way off.

Sending a move of 5° results in roughly 375-390° on the output side.
   

Any ideas?

Dear All,

Does anyone have information that the KINCO FD425-EF-000 drive works with linuxcnc? On Ethercat?
Is there an xml file provided by the manufacturer, can I use that?
I haven't connected an Ethercat device to the machine under Linuxcnc yet.

Regards

Is there a new link to the video? 

Having an interesting issue:

I am in the process of moving from my old PC to a Laptop with LinuxCNC. I have riocore up and running and can flash, ping,... from the laptop. However, the machine is not moving. I see that the inputs work.

Then I tried to copy the complete riocore folder from the old PC to the Laptop as well. Exactly the same files, just another machine. No difference, only inputs are working.

The wiring is correct as the machine works on the old pc.

Any idea what to look for?

ah great! i managed to get connection to the mesa card and wifi simply through the sudo menu-config . like i said, i had gone through all the posts mentioned above, but going through them with index page you mentioned helped quite alot. now i can ping the card at 10.10.10.10 and get responses.

my next question is,

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.100
netmask 255.255.255.0

is sufficient in the interface file or shall i also add

hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0 after netmask? and whats the significance of this line? Thanks again!

As the image is there is no root password, it is too easy to mess up the system when using root. As I stated in my first post you need to use sudo. It would be best for you to search to how to use the sudo command for tasks that require elevated privileges.
Teaching one how to use Linux is not something that I am willing to do on the forum and quite frankly there are many quality tutorials on the net.
This one www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#debian-handbook whilst it maybe for an earlier version of Debian it is a good start, and you should be able to find something in your native language.

what is the root id and password sir? i only know the default user credentials "cnc" with password "cnc"

no any errors.
it`s clean config for Lathe, generated by PNCCONFIG

Please read the major thread regarding the RPi, it's a sticky.

Regarding editing files under
/etc you will require super user privileges, please use your favourite search engine to learn how to use sudo.

Once again it is not very helpful when a user says that something doesn't work without any error messages or the sort.

Once in the main RPi image thread I have written examples,covering many circumstances regarding network setup and what needs to be addressed in the network file.

There is even a sticky thread that is an index to the main RPi image thread.

Just be careful the modify it to make it better rabbit hole gets to be expensive real quick.
Especially with a Voron.

Hello Senior Members,

I have begun working on my 2nd linuxcnc project. Previously, i have successfully set up 2 CNC machines with Linuxcnc and parallel port combined with a lot of help and learnings even for the most basic things from you all.

This time i have:
> Rpi 5, installed with LinuxCNC 2.9.4  Raspberry Pi 5 OS based on Debian Bookworm  Raspberry Pi 5 on a SD card through Raspberry pi imager.
> Mesa 7i96 board (fresh out of the box, w5 and w6 jumpers set on Down position)

I have read through forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...l-images-only#320270 and rest of the topics, hm2_eth , network manager, and youtube videos. I am still unsure what to do and how.

> i cannot make a wifi connection with menu-config. i dont really understand it to be honest. what information to put and where?
> i cannot edit the etc/network/interfaces file, it does not let me save the changes. and what shall i change and not change in it?
> with network-manager-gnome im still not able to connect to a wifi or ethernet. also what is eth0 and wifi0 they cant be used?
> what is mesaflash? do i have to flash my mesa card or update it or whatever during my first boot? or does it work out of the box

If only somebody could just walk me through the barebones setup so that i can simply make a connection to the mesa card, and have wifi connection too.. from scratch. it would be very helpful for me and anyone like me. 

Best regards
Sk

I had seen that yesterday tommylight. If you use solder paste that is specifically designed for syringes it probably
works well. If you use the regular solder paste you eventually push so much of the liquid flux out of it that the
paste starts becoming impossible to dispense. I have had that happen numerous times.

Hello Sebastjan, I haven't completely solved the problem yet, do you have the code?
How do you send it?

Hi there,
a friend convinced me to go the Ethercat way. I got A6-400W-Ethercat Servos.
I followed the "How to use A6 Servomotors Software" guide by OMC but after the "Auto-Tuning" my Servos or better to Say the Couplers are still movable by Hand. If i increase the gein when Tuning, it starts to play airhorn.

Could someone maybe advise me How to properly get started?
