This should work for 2.8 and up, notice the hal command at the end for refreshing the Gremlin (plotter).

Thanks. With you and juliankoenig and the links, I have plenty to work with.
I really appreciate you guys taking time to reply and share your knowledge.

Not really what I wanted, but I think it will work.
Thanks for the link to the example code.
Thanks for your help.

I recall there was chat about including it, i was against it as it is a huge security risk and not required for machine control.

If it is included, it does require setting up the password for VNC explicitly, at least it did 10 or more years back.

The ICE40 module is very nice, unfortunately for us living in Australia the $34 module has an $86 shipping fee, then converted to AUD it will be close to $190 AUD...the ECP5 kit will land here for about $100, and has a lot more IO. 

When you say programming the ECP5 is slow, is that via USB within Riocore and are we talking minutes or half an hour ? I can stock extra coffee ! 

Cheers.

I'm not too sure if that's the case, would be interesting to see the source of that info.
Your best bet would be to search for setting up a vnc server on Debian, ignore any AI generated answers.
For reference the Linuxcnc ISO is just a normal Debian one that has been customised with a realtime kernel and the required Linuxcnc packages, so basically any info that pertains to Debian is relevant.
There maybe some threads but you would have to really look for them.
Mind tho it's not the best of ideas to operate an unattended machine via vnc. In fact I feel it's not the best of ideas to leave a home built CNC machine running unattended, this also applies to something you may buy at the very lower end of the spectrum.
From memory, vnc won't let you be logged in at the machine and log in remotely, or it maybe tiger.

TBH this is not really an Linuxcnc issue but a Hyper-V Debian issue as the standard Debian installer is used.
What you can try is to install Debian bookworm from a Debian ISO with XFCE desktop then follow the instructions in the Linuxcnc docs to install the Linuxcnc packages. This is about the best suggestion I can come up with.
Personally I use VirtualBox, as it's basically flawless.

OK all, the latest release for develop version is up and live installable via apt update if you are currently on the develop branch! hoping for some testers to playe with the new rack atc sim and give some feedback!

Thanks for checking in!

Note that for Mesa Ethernet cards the latency test is not terribly useful.
What is much more important is network latency. Default Mesa driver settings
will drop (timeout) packets if the return data takes more than 80% of the
servo period. As long as you do not drop packets due to these timeouts, latency is
relatively unimportant/

if you have a mesa card, try this:

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

(this will run for 1 minute and print delay statistics)
 
Change the IP address if you use 192.168.1.121

 

Yes

Yep, that is 7I77 firmware.

latency does not matter for simulation

I made some time to look at this tonight.  I swear this worked the first time I tried it, but there's almost no way it could have ... so my apologies.

The reason it's not working is because you turn adaptive feed (M52) off:


Take out line N35 and it will work.  

Ah cool. I think this is a good example for the fact that you can get quality in China if you are willing to pay for it. Looks good.

I dont have a thread for my current project. It was a fast decision thing, because the price was low. Looks smaller on the picture than in real life. Weights 500kg (machine + table). Dont have the fancy pc table .

Old Berger Lahr 5 phase steppers. Drives invented 1987. Machine is build in 1992. I want to safe the old drives, because I like to maintain such old hardware. I already ordered some caps for replacement (known as fault reasons).

Machine is all cast iron! But with supported round rails instead of linear rails. But I will keep them. It will be sufficient for al lot of my work. Travel is 400x400x100. Machine is only 900x800xhight (didnt meassured it yet).

here is that, didnt think to look for a file, I am new to linux so the command didnt click till it wasnt doing anything lol.
