You can test the laptop without installing anything, download the ISO from the downloads page, write it to USB, use that USB to boot the laptop from it (see BIOS settings for booting from USB for your laptop on google), then run latency test from the main menu while browsing youtube.

Well, something is not right, i can not see the attached file, but if i choose to quote your message, it shows up!
Fro your file (as i have no clue if this is the issue)
<#factor> = 1 (Adjust for metric)
Probably should be
#<factor> = 1 (Adjust for metric)

Help - Can't see the forest for the trees!

Category: O Codes (subroutines) and NGCGUI

When I try to execute the attached macro from MDI in GMOCCAPY or AXIS I get the error:

Bad character '<'

Can't find anything incorrect in the file which I have attached. I went so far as to comment out all of the lines and just tried to open a LOG file to see where the error might be, but the error occurs before the file is opened.

An extra pair of eyes would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Perfect. So I use a laptop with Linux for that. Now I have one with Windows. I think Linux could be installed while keeping the current OS (I don't know if there's anything I need to know “in advance”).

My motor drivers are CL57T with Nema24 coded motors. I'm looking to assemble this driver and motor with the 7i96S board.

My Sherline Linux CNC Ubuntu PC won't start

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

  'm running Sherline CNC with their PC with I believe Ubuntu. What can I do here? I'm not familiar with Linux but there was no sign that something bad with SSD before. Ive got such experience with dying SSD on MacBook but it showed a clear error in the begging so I could copy the file system and remount it on a new SSD. I've got install CD but can't figure out what's wrong

Can you program QtPlasmaC to make a bevel cut and how to do it.

 

No, not easily, but you can use CAM software to do that and use it with QtPlasmaC.
There was talk of adding 4th axis for cutting square tube, i do not recall it was actually done.
In general, that is not something LinuxCNC should do, it is CAM's responsibility to output correct gcode for the machine, LinuxCNC is for running that gcode on the actual machine.
Even with CAM it is quite complicated to do 4th and 5th axis as that changes actively tool center point on all directions, so it will not be just click to export gcode.
Sorry i can not help more.

I forgot to mention, i do not like RPI for machine control, at all, but i do understand why others like it and use it, but the thing i can not justify is the price, for the same price you can get a used Lenovo laptop with touch screen even, but i can not advise getting laptops as they might end up not having good latency. I have probably 6 or 7 laptops like that in daily use without issues, but i am sure some might not be good.

I set some sdo values last night and the shaking is gone. The servo motors make a bit of a whine noise, so I might need to turn the gains down a bit more.

I’ll post all my files later on today.

The stepper motor just works, but the servos need some tuning is my perspective.

Thank you. My motors have encoders, but I don't know if that's enough to avoid needing encoders on the board.

I'm looking for a combination that is easy to install and not too expensive.

Sorry i can not help with Fusion, i use strictly Inkscape for all plasma machines, just use "prepare for plasma" and then export with the tool chosen as plasma.

Hello.

Thank you. Is that video option better than a Mesa 7i76E + Linux PC?

Bruno, no spamming, if you have something to offer do it on "user exchange" section of the forum, with clear descriptions of what the offer is.
And if you hide the link again, you will get banned.
-
This is normally considered spam, but it is for motors so might be useful to someone.

Sorry for the late reply, but all you had to do was
sudo apt update
before trying to install.
