Kind of old one, i was used to mint 19 and 2.9 kernel. But now i can see no lind to download them.

Wait!

I think I think I remember where to find the instructionsFresh installs of LinuxCNC are most easily created using the Live/Install Image. This is a hybrid ISO filesystem image that can be written to a USB storage device or a DVD and used to boot a computer. At boot time you will be given a choice of booting the "Live" system (to run LinuxCNC without making any permanent changes to your computer) or booting the Installer (to install LinuxCNC and its operating system onto your computer’s hard drive).The outline of the process looks like this:

1. Download the Live/Install Image.
2. Write the image to a USB storage device using Rufus.
3. Boot the Live system to test out LinuxCNC.
4. Boot the Installer to install LinuxCNC.

I believe that I see what is going on.

There is a variable named MAXPROBE that is called from the INI as follows:  #<_ini[VERSA_TOOLSETTER]MAXPROBE>
There is also a variable that is read from the versaprobe screen saved in the qtdragon_hd.pref file as follows:  ps_probe_max_z_travel
The variable is also know as max_z_travel is some of the functions.
It appears as if both VARS are used for the same purpose. If I'm not mistaken the documentation indicates that the values are to be set and used in the INI file under VERSA_TOOLSETTER (brackets omitted).

I somewhat ignored the values in the qtdragon_hd.pref file which when I compared were NOT the same values. I know for a fact that my Z will travel more that 115mm which is what it was set at in the pref file. However, in my INI file I have set the value of 150mm which covers the length of all my tools.

Additionally I found a typo which I submitted a pull request a few hours ago.

I'll test this shortly and respond appropriately.

Hello,

first off I want to apologize. I know this is asked all the time and I have asked it before. Though I always ALWAYS have tons of trouble with this and I don’t know why.

I have an external SSD drive that I want linuxcnc on. I have a usb drive I intend to use as the downloader for that SSD drive. I can never fully figure out how to do this properly.

It will control a plasma CNC table that utilizes an Ethernet mesa card. I do not want a live system. I want a fully functional and programmable one

what do I download onto the usb to format the SSD?

again I’m sorry!

You can select from submenus, but the format isn't well documented and it might take some experimentation to figure out which menu and submenu are which number.
I have:

Is that base period or servo period?
In the ini file, do not change the value of servo period, it should be 1000000 (1 million).

hello Tommy

I am getting this error now.

Actually I have been getting this error all the time.

For parallel port use the Wheezy ISO from the downloads page.

Your X axis is using reset mode but the spindle is not:

net xstep => parport.0.pin-02-out
setp parport.0.pin-02-out-reset 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
net xdir => parport.0.pin-03-out
net spindle-step => parport.0.pin-04-out

setp stepgen.0.steplen 1 <<<<<<<<
setp stepgen.0.stepspace 0 <<<<<<<<<


Also the spindle scale should be 800 for 800 steps/turn since you
are setting the stepgen velocity in RPS

(it should be 13.33333 if you set the stepgen velocity in RPM)

If I remember it correctly that component doesn't work, you might want to try:
github.com/scottalford75/Remora/tree/mai...omponents/Remora-eth
and change in your hal settings to "loadrt remora-eth-3.0"

This should be close:

 

 

How close are the schematics to the CNC Bridgeport lathe posted up top?

thank you very much, I did it, I inserted this config as well as halcompile with remora-nv.c, now there are no problems with starting, however, as before, it issues a latency error, and after a very small jog, it loses communication with the network and the only thing possible is to turn it off and turn the power supply on again and that's how it gets the network. The conclusion is that it's very unstable, so I'll try to do the same with my version1 nvem card that I have from before and compare the error, if it's still the same, it's probably the problem is in linux itself. mesa 7i96s works on it without error.

Indeed Twopass was on. I switched it off. This lead to the following behavior:

The machine started classic Ladder. CL worked as intended. The Axis Gui of the CNC did not load. When I closed CL, the axis gui loaded. I thought I could go into the Ladder Editor and simply start it again, but once I was in ladder editor, the Modbus Maser pages in the config where not there. Like it was just loading a blank program.

I have not tried to put the CL part in the postgui hal file. Will try that.

Hello. Just tried to update to this version from older linux mint - i am not able to set up isolcpus. Tried editing grub file in etc/default, creating new file in grub.d - still no luck. And run update-grub of course. How to add it and test before reboot ?

Or this one is wrong version for parport ?
