Can you help with how to control the flow rate from a virtual slider pot on the AXIS virtual control panel.

- DO IT!!!
- a lot of reading

I remember the time when Intel payed developers to make Linux boot in under 10 seconds...and some other nice memories (i do not mean RAM or ROM memories )
BTW, they did make it boot in under 10 seconds back then, even from a CD.

What were the results?

What does
ip a
in a terminal return?

Hallo PCW ping ist ok

Are you sure you scales have an index?


One way to check is to setup halshow to watch  hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.index-enable
and then:

setp hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.index-enable true

hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.index-enable should go high  but return low when the
index is detected (either jog or manual move the joint past the index)

This assumes the 

#net x-index-enable joint.0.index-enable <=> hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.index-enable

Line remains commented out.

 

Does ping work?

sudo chart 99 ping -i .001 -q -c 60000 10.10.10.10

( will run for 1 minute and print statistics )

( or 192.168.1.121 instead of 10.10.10.10 depending on 7I96S setting )

Could someone please remove this module and the gantrykins module as well in the man pages? They are really Really confusing!
 

What was the previous configuration? 

That is, what changed?

just a thought, disable energy efficient ethernet. The parameters are determined by your NIC

I think with newer OS versions we will see this more and more.

Te linuxcnc folder is preserved on an upgrade but keep a copy off the pc.
What version of linuxcnc are you using? Versions before 2.8 might need some more work.

I have found its best to build a rough config with stepconf or pncconf, then cut and paste your ini file data into the generated ini file.It only takes an hour or so that way.

These patches probably are no longer required given Scott Laird maintains the source of truth for our ethercat driver (and the patches folder is gone)

Linux 5.6 is a very old kernel. we are now up to 6.12 and Debian Bookworm had advanced to 6.1.37 before being replaced by Trixie yesterday

Quite typical of Intel. I paid a developer to do some work in Intel hardware that required a $50 annual licence from Intel. they shut it all down before the year was up.
