Looks perfectly fine, so do some tests with Mesa card attached and again do copy some stuff around, play video, etc, see if it drops the link.
If not, move on to making chips!

Tommy, thanks for taking the interest.

My aim was to simply improve my knowledge of some of the more exotic GCode.

As stated, my assumption on what G10 can do is incorrect.

My skill base has, however, improved because I can now use G10 for its intended use of setting up Offsets for multiple jobs.

Thanks , this is result with nouveau(and rustdesk for remote desktop):
 

It would be much easier to help you if you told us what are you trying to achieve or what the end result should be or ...

Much better.

Most probably, but if it is working with RT kernel, do give it a try
latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000 --show
while playing youtube, skipping through it and maximizing/minimizing the video.

no packet loss this time with r8168!! thanks !

i have system with the nvidia proprietary driver i need to go back to nouveau?

Thanks for the response.

Once my machine is set-up correctly, I successfully use multiple Offsets to do jobs on the table.

I started this investigation of G10 'assuming' that it was used to set-up the machine without having to physically move it to the Home position.

So far, that assumption has been demonstrated to be false.

What does one do if the machine cannot be physically moved to its Home position ?
For example, a large job mounted prior to machine start-up, or a vice.

Note: I simulate physical table movement at start-up by operating the controls with steppers Off to the position measured by ruler.

NVIDIA proprietary drivers do not work with RT kernel and neither do new AMD drivers.
Most of the time NVIDIA cards will cause latency spikes and should not be used for machine control, but i have plenty of GTX1060 and GTX1070 that are usable with NOVEAU drivers, older ones will mess latency badly, and even the ones i have on some motherboards do cause issues, so it's a cr@p shoot.
First, fix the ethernet latency, disable power saving options in BIOS and hyperthreading and TPM and..., then we can see what still needs to be done.

Seems like wiring issue, hal and ini seem fine, looked twice, but i do wear glasses ...

I don't think the video is an issue as it would show up in the generic latency tests.
 

The hal/ini files seem right

Short or other error in the cabling?

If you have the latest mesaflash you can:

mesaflash --device ethernet --addr 10.10.10.10 --dbname1 hdr26 --readhmid

(if you want the 26 pin IDC wire numbers)

If things still don't work, you might disconnect your cable
and check if the expected 7I92TF DIR pins change state
when jogging in different directions.
 

I have a nvidia 610 video card, should I replace nouveau with the proprietary nvidia driver? (I already did it in theory)

I got this same error when working on the qt version (based on python2 stuff).
IIRC I removed the offending entry and didn't notice a problem (but I don't use it)
IIRC I tested a python2 original version and didn't get the error - so my guess is the parsing library is more picky by default now.
I don't know enough about the saving format to make a definitive decision.

Hello Everyone

I had a great experience converting the EC300 board with Remora firmware and then using it for my CNC milling machine. I have decided to put my learning into good use and start selling EC300 boards on Ebay. If you are based in the UK and looking for a board for yourself, it is your lucky day

Installation Instructions

1. Download the necessary files from GitHub:
   • github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c.../remora-rt1052-basic (copy to LinuxCNC/Configs)
   • github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c.../LinuxCNC/components (copy to LinuxCNC)
     
2. Install Remora components by running in Terminal:sudo halcompile –install LinuxCNC/components/remora-eth-3.0.c
   sudo halcompile –install LinuxCNC/components/nvmpg.c
3. Configure Ethernet:
   • The EC300 IP address is 10.10.10.10. Set your LinuxCNC PC to a static IP such as 10.10.10.11.
   • Edit your network settings by running:
     sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
   • Add at the end of the file:interface [your interface name, e.g., enp0s25 or eth0]
     static ip_address=10.10.10.11/24
   • Save and exit (CTRL+X, then Y, then Enter), then reboot your PC.
   • Confirm IP address with:
     ip addr
     
4. Install tftpy module for uploading configuration files:
   • Open Terminal and navigate to a folder (suggested: LinuxCNC folder).
   • Create a Python virtual environment:
     python3 -m venv .venv
   • Activate the environment:
     source .venv/bin/activate
   • Install tftpy:
     pip install tftpy
   • To exit the environment later:
     deactivate
     
5. Configure Inputs/Outputs:
   • Download the EC300 configuration file:  EC300 Config File
   • Copy it into LinuxCNC/configs/remora-rt1052-basic.
   • Ignore or delete the EC500 configuration file in the same folder.
     
6. Upload the configuration file:
   • Power up the EC300 and connect it via Ethernet.
   • Run the upload script(in virtual environment):
     python3 LinuxCNC/configs/remora-rt1052-basic/upload_config.py configs/remora-rt1052-basic/ec300-rt1052.txt
     
7. The basic setup is complete! Example HAL and INI files are available in the remora-rt1052-basic folder.

That worked but now I get a new error:

./ethercat.hal:50: Pin 'lcec.0.0.cia-statusword' does not exist

this occurs at the following line:

net x-statusword lcec.0.0.cia-statusword => cia402.0.statusword

I clearly have an error here but I don't know where to look to correct the problem
