current latest download of LinuxCNC V2.9.8 will not install GRUB on several PC's

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Also be aware that Trixie no longer uses /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Instead it uses the new deb822 format and places its sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
And as you said, for a DVD install, the source files will be configured to look on the ISO, not at the Debian mirrors

But the default Debian download on their home page is the netinst ISO, same as LinuxCNC. You need to follow the link to other downloads and select the complete installation image to install on an offline PC. The Linuxcnc 2.8 installer on Debian 10 used the same installer so nothing has changed for many years.

I found out the hard way this week that the Debian installer deletes packages that are not used at run time. eg if you go to the trouble of deploying LinuxCNC built from source in the installer, (eg a 2.10pre version), you must reinstall the dependencies if you want to rebuild the image.  The build time dependendcies are removed before the ISO is created.There are settings that are meant to prevent this but they did not work for me.

The days of Debian fitting on a single DVD must be over. I thought they maxed out at 4.7 gb. The image I built  yesterday came in at 5.15 gb.

I'm off to buy a CPU cooler today. Debian 12/13 do not manage heat well or my 20 core Lenovo i7 is underspec in the CPU cooling department as it regularly overheats and hangs during video rendering or compiling. Hopefully I can shoehorn one in in this small desktop case!

What AI thinks of Flex GUI

Category: Flex GUI

Here is what I think about FlexGUI: It's freaking awesome! I'm really enjoying the interface; it's a total game-changer for building my custom LinuxCNC GUI. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it.

One thing I'm missing is a live preview/sync in the G-code editor.

Are there plans to implement 'Scroll-to-Line' or 'Active Line Highlighting' during a program run? Or is there a technical limitation in the current widget architecture that prevents this?

Thanks.

I've finally gotten a little time to work on this again!

I'm still planning to use the MR-J3-70A drives, which I have already. What is the current state of support for the copper network drives?

When i look at the mesa manual the numbers don’t match for example 30-33 in pnccofig where are those on the board it self

That would be the 7I96S manual that lists the terminal block pins for
step/dir, analog out. encoder  and SSR channels.

These are also listed by mesaflash's  readhmid command

Mon interface est une carte Mesa qui prescrit de ne pas activer le WiFi pour des raisons de temps réel. Alors, j'ai respecté cette consigne sans avoir osé tester si cela était vraiment utile.
Depuis ma demande initiale, j'ai trouvé comment faire en sorte que le module DS1307 s'intègre bien au système en rédigeant un petit service qui se met en route durant le boot.

Pncconf does not have pin numbers, for things like 7I96S PWM outputs
and SSR outputs (the things that are needed for spindle interfaces)
They are listed by channel number (the channel number matches
the 7I96S manual names and mesaflash listings)

Do you have a more complete spindle interface description?

It looks like the 7I96S analog output will need an external 12V or 10V source
(since unlike a normal VFD it looks like the drive does not supply a 10V source)

the header pins on the mesa boardIt's a project that was stared a couple years ago that I'm trying to finish and now on my own its PM728v-t everything is working except the spindle that I'm trying to figure out how and where to hook up. pncofig has PIN numbers I'm trying to figure out where the number is physically on the board. attached image is what I'm trying to hook up

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

Its not possible to install Debian without an internet connection (hardwired is best) The Linuxcnc installer depends on internet (It uses the Debian Live INstaller).

Debian WILL install and run without internet connection, all the ISO versions except the Net version.
Your version does NOT install and run without it.
Over 2 years of never ending issues...
Remaster the Debian ISO, everything works properly.
