This is what pisses me off.

I've spent quite a few weeks working on this, with no input from anyone, no one bothering to lend a hand (testing when I gave links and requested some one to test), and when an issue does come up all I get " I installed probe basic and tried to run it, but it gives an error." with no description of the error.

Can you understand why I may be a little bit terse. If you can't be bothered to give any indication of what the error is or anything like that I'm not going to waster time trying to pull information out of you bit by bit.

Most people expect to be able to install packages just usually apt or apt-get, as far as I know github doesn't provide the resources to host a git repo.

Latency has nothing to do with speed.

You're the one that made the claims, yet you've done no testing nor do know understand the concept of latency. There seems to be a disconnect between what you actually know and what you think you know. The thing is you don't get it. I don't think you ever will, it would be some much better if you just fucked off and stopped wasting peoples time of the forum by having to clear up the bullshit you post.

Can i use 5A Sanyo Denki 60mm stepper motors?
 

Of course you can. Plenty of ethercat stepper drivers out there. even 2,3 and 4 motor controls in the single driver...

You are forgetting one thing. Linuxcnc is based on Linux and depends on the Linux preempt_rt kernel to provide a real time thread (the servo thread).  To use a different OS like  BSD or RTEMS, you will need to rebuild a large amount of the Linuxcnc application not to mention the huge number of dependencies that are prerequisites.

I know alot of people are purists who like to do stuff on their own server (bla bla bla...), but I think this is one case where it really is better to just use github as much as possible.

It's free, after all.

We also now have packages being built by Github.

When will GitHub start building versions for 2.10/master branch? It really is necessary.

There should be no need for any HAL trickery now, the issue is fixed in the latest LinuxCNC release. (2.9.7)

Do you want to submit a pull request?

Got a bit more work done on the machines control panel. All of the buttons I currently want in it are wired in to the 7i73 so I just need to update the .hal file to use the new inputs on the button matrix. Still plan on adding buttons if needed as well as integrating my MPG and axis selector switch etc. to the panel but for now it is all wired up short of the drive enable and estop as that stuff is in the garage and I am in the house

M67 is probably what you want. It sets the output at the moment that the next motion command starts.
Otherwise there isn't much to choose between M68 and S.
Using Z is sometimes suggested, but that can interfere with the XY motion due to path blending constraints.

Well I'm not a mind reader, but I think if you fix the error it will work.

There should be a link to the github page on the linuxcnc.org page too.

linuxcnc.org/2025/10/26/LinuxCNC-2.9.7/

Saying that the debs are available from the "The LinuxCNC GitHub repository" is not as helpful as a link to that page.

Why not add a simple hyperlink to github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/releases/tag/v2.9.7?

You could try calling Mesa on the phone?

store.mesanet.com

The phone number is right at the top of the page.

I will try that... ang give news
